Network Design and Development Services

About Network Design and Development Services

Network design and development services design network topologies and ensure that all network devices can communicate with one another. The network topology defines the shape of a local area network (LAN) and the links between nodes such as personal computers (PC), network printers, and network appliances. Customer specifications and application requirements help determine whether network design and development services recommend a centralized, decentralized, or hybrid topology. Many LANs are shaped like a star, tree, ring, mesh, or bus. Star networks use a central hub, switch or server to route or transmit packets of data. Tree networks are similar to star networks, but are less dependent upon a central node. Ring networks connect network devices in a circular pattern, sending packets around the ring to their final destination. Mesh networks ensure reliable communications by avoiding blocked paths and moving data from node to node until a connection can be established. Bus networks connect networked devices to a main cable or link. If one node fails, the other nodes can continue to operate.
