are a list of questions that will help in deciding
whether a WAN would be beneficial to your business:
Does
my company need a WAN?
A lot of companies are unsure whether or not a WAN would be beneficial
to their business. If your business could benefit from one or more
of the following, a WAN may be what your business has been needing:
•Fast
information transfer between
multiple locations
•Reliable shared Internet connection
•Better communication between business locations
•Secure path for sensitive data transmission
Centralized
host for localized management
With the widespread use of Frame Relay and DSL, WANs have become
affordable for small and medium businesses as well as corporations.
A medium-sized business with three locations around the state can
utilize a WAN to create an environment where information can be
stored separate (and protected) from the Internet while still being
available to all three locations. This allows all three locations
to function as if they were in the same building, sharing the same
network.
WANs
also provide certain advantages to businesses
in the way of network management. Instead
of having three separate networks designed
and maintained differently, the three-location
company can manage one larger network.
This allows the company to easily upgrade/standardize/manage
their network without the worry of company
branches being disconnected from the network.
