Synopsis
"The Network is the computer". This often-repeated phrase is a reflection of the central role of networking as the foundation of distributed information systems. This book addresses this key topic in a logical, problem-solving style. Material is organized into overall models. By providing students with an overview, the text should allow them to understand how individual topics relate to each other. The material in "Local Area Networks" offers a comprehensive introduction to local area networks with theory, concepts, technology, installation and management. There is in-depth coverage of Windows NT, Netware, and Unix-TCP/IP. The text's modular approach should make it flexible for a variety of courses which concentrate on LANs and client/server architecture, rather than the wider scope of data communications in general. To add real-world experience, business cases are included in each chapter. Questions are also featured, guiding the reader towards the development of analytical skills and business-oriented capabilities. Features include: "managerial perspectives" sections describing management implications of technology; and OSI Model used throughout the text as an analysis tool for problem-solving and design.
