With all of the updates, virus scans and other computer programs, it can be very confusing to someone who is not completely computer savvy. A lot of people want to learn about computer networking but if they haven't learned some of the specifics of computer networking, then they may feel overwhelmed with the whole procedure.
Local Area Network (LAN)
It is a computer network that spans a relatively small area. Most LANs are confined to a single building or group of buildings, however, one LAN can be connected to other LANs over any distance via telephone lines and radio waves. A system of LANs connected in this way is called a wide-area network (WAN)
Wide Area Network (WAN)
WAN is a critical component of any IT and business operations. It takes dedicated resources, hardware, software, and the latest applications to properly manage it.
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
VPNs allow employees to securely access their company’s intranet while traveling outside the office. Similarly, VPNs securely connect geographically disparate offices of an organization, creating one cohesive network. VPN technology is also used by Internet users to connect to proxy servers for the purpose of protecting personal identity and location.
