LAN

A local area network (LAN) is a computer network covering a small geographic area, like a home, office, or group of buildings e.g. a school. The defining characteristics of LANs, in contrast to Wide Area Networks (WANs), include their much higher data transfer rates, smaller geographic range, and lack of a need for leased telecommunication lines.

Ethernet over unshielded twisted pair cabling, and Wi-Fi are the two most common technologies currently, but ARCNET, Token Ring and many others have been used in the past.

Here at Sago we offer you the opportunity to network your servers with a VLAN (virtual LAN). Connect multiple servers through a secondary NIC to share information with no impact to your bandwidth allotment or speed! Contact the Sales Department for more information and pricing.
