Networking Your Business
6. Network Management
Networks become more complicated as they grow.
6.1 A typical small network would only demand a few hours' attention each week.
There is little complexity involved.
6.2 A medium-sized network of between ten and 100 computers needs at least one person working full-time to manage it.
There may be more complex issues about who can access information and programs:
- Everybody connects to a network server to share files and resources.
- Different groups of users have different access rights to protect sensitive files.
- Network versions of accounts and database software have to be available to different groups of users.
6.3 You may need two or more people to provide network support if a large network is central to your business.
