From the Back Cover

Over the past two decades, Local Area Networks have significantly changed the way companies do business. Because LANs are such an integral part of the way businesses do business today, CIS and MIS students need fundamental LAN knowledge and experience to strategically position themselves for growing opportunities in LAN management.

Written from the perspectives of LAN management, the focus of this text is on administrative responsibilities and strategies, which range from selecting and installing LAN hardware and software to designing backup and recovery options (chapters 9-12). However, because of the need for LAN managers to consider issues important to all members of the LAN community, such as end-users, the author provides appropriate coverage of these perspectives as well.

Despite the rapid rate of technology introduction into the market, this new third edition provides up-to-date coverage and anticipates emerging technologies:
