Introduction

“It is certainly safe to say that computers have become as integral to modern life as fast food, cell phones, and sport utility vehicles”. (Joe, 2004) We are living in the information-exchanged age. It has been dramatically changed since last decades. How could this happen? The answer will be network. A network can be anything from a simple collection of computers at one location which have been tied together using a particular connectivity medium (such as network cabling) to a giant global network, e.g. internet, which uses several different connectivity media, including microwave and satellite technology. Once, the network is going to falling apart which will be disaster for us. Thus, we should know what will cause of potential network failures when it happens. Nowadays, it should have physical network server if we require to connecting to internet. However, there is a new technology which is called Virtual servers, has been developed by Microsoft that is going to exploring as well. For a network, security is priority thing. As a large manufacturing firm which has many factories in different regions, how to keep reputation for their business? How to convince customers that trades are safe? Finally, how to deal with the sensitive data which is the other issue should be considered.

Chapter I: Potential Network Failures and Solutions

In order to keeping network healthy, it should be monitoring network traffic and looking at the various processes and events related to network protocols, which mean it should be prepared to configure some potential network failures. There are several factors which cause the network failure. The following will be main issues which cause the network failure:

    Networks, including the internet, are one of the most essential things to businesses. Without computer networks, companies would be lost and would not have a way to communicate without these systems and this would cause businesses to operate slower (Network 1). Patch works of older networking systems are easier to find these days (Network 1). Starting relationships between many businesses, networks in many ways become synonymous with the groups and businesses they bring together (Network 1). Business employees, customers, and business partners would have available access to their information stored in network systems, could get to their network systems and share them easily among themselves (“Network” 1). Computer networks give their owners speed, ability to connect, and ultimately value to their users. They give possible solutions for business difficulties and issues that would not be possible to other businesses (Network 1). Computer networking systems are required for electronic communications. (Network 1) As time moves on, businesses’ spend a ton of money on computer systems that are used to manage various functions such as accounting, human resources...

    Prior to the 1960s, what little computer communication existed comprised simple text and binary data, carried by the most common telecommunications network technology of the day; namely, circuit switching, the technology of the telephone networks for nearly a hundred years. Because most data traffic transmissions occur during a very short period of time, circuit switching results in highly inefficient use of network resources. In 1962, Paul Baran, of the Rand Corporation, described a robust, efficient, store-and-forward data network in a report for the U.S. Air Force; Donald Davies suggested a similar idea in independent work for the Postal Service in the U.K., and coined the term packet for the data units that would be carried. According to Baran and Davies, packet switching networks could be designed so that all components operated independently, eliminating single point-of-failure problems. In addition, network communication resources appear to be dedicated to individual users but, in fact, statistical multiplexing and an upper limit on the size of a transmitted entity result in fast, economical data networks.

    Network Design is very important when it comes to implementing a connection between a computer and a server. According to Network world Websites, Network is defined as a “connected collection or devices and end systems, such as computers and servers, that can communicate with each other”(McQuerry). Network carry data in many types of environment, such as homes, small businesses, and large enterprises. Network Locations Is one of the major factors. There are different types and locations of network exist, including network in a home or home office to communicate through the Internet, to locate information, to place orders for merchandise, and to send message to friends. Whatever the reasons are, all these networks share common components. According to Network World, the most common network components are Personal Computer’s, interconnections, such as NICs, Networks media, and Connectors. Switches and Routers are also part of network components. When designing a network, couples of items are a must to have such fundamental goals, a drawing or diagram, The Hierarchical Network Design, IP addresses, routing protocols, Servers, and switches.

    In this day and age, networks are everywhere. The internet has also revolutionized around world. We tend to take for grantedthat computers should be connected together. When it comes to networking, it's hard to believe that the field is still a relatively young one, especially when it comes to hooking up small computers like PCs. In approaching any discussion of networking, it is very useful to take a step back and look at networking from a high level. What is it, exactly, and why is it now considered? So, it important that it is assumed that most PCs and other devices should be networked. Computer network is the best way to take advantage of more than one computer resources by sharing these resources , such as storage space ,
