Networking and Intranet Software

Computer networks are connections of several computers in order to share resources, allowing communication between users through email and chat boards, as well as providing access to special and private databases. Networks speed up processing speeds on busy systems, reduce costs for large offices, and are changing the computing paradigm from number-crunching to communicating. They have helped develop the Internet, and information technology services. Designed in layers, each defined by standards, or protocols, networks easily organize data to move quickly and efficiently. LANs are most popular because of their reliability and simple-to-use features. The links contained herein offer information about networking software.
