Short Essay Question

Answer 1

The organization put the headquarter in the southern US and from here many retail store is being communicate. hence all the components of the network in the head office are in local area, so this part would be a LAN connection and also each retail store would have LAN connection so for communicating to all the store directly to headquarter the organisation have to used star topology like network. In computer networks when we have to connect multiple computer to communicate with main computer we are using star topology like connection. the benifits is in star topology is following:

1. easy to install

2. no disruptions to the network when connecting or removing systems.

3. easy to detect faults and remove that part

4. maintain pravcy or data secure by centre system.

so, but these network can be used in a office, cannot use in headquarter to subdivision,

but for communicating for any types types of data the organization can use cloud network to estabalish this type of network. Where cloud networking is a type of IT infrastructure in which some or all of an oragnization's network capabilities and resources are hosted in public or private cloud platform, managed in house or by a service provider and available on demand.

organization can either use on premise cloud networking resource to build a private cloud network.

advantages of this cloud type communication are follows:

1. data is secure

2.easy to use

3.easy to communicate

4.do not fear of data loss.

thats why the organiztion might have use this type of network.
