About the Book

"Anyone considering buying a LAN should buy this book first."--Computing magazine Third Edition Local Area Networks New Technologies, Emerging Standards "Madron shows what LANs are, how they work, and includes guidelines for choosing, designing, and implementing a microcomputer-based LAN." --Data Communications The explosive growth of LANs in recent years, driven by their increasing use in small businesses and their acceptance as the network of choice by large corporations, has encouraged the development of numerous new technologies and underscored the need for standardization--hardware and software integration from a wide variety of manufacturers. Local Area Networks: New Technologies, Emerging Standards, Third Edition covers the latest developments in LAN technology from a management perspective and discusses standards as they relate to the management of large networking systems and computer environments. New topics of major importance include: the impact of LANs on small businesses; client/server technology; the proliferation of multiserver LANs; switching from host-based to LAN systems; and peer-to-peer and wireless LANs. An in-depth examination of software choices deals with the need to tailor LAN operating systems to fit a company's existing software; UNIX, OS/2, and Windows NT and their roles in LAN planning are discussed in detail. Every chapter has been updated, and new chapters have been added on peer-to-peer LANs and network security. An expanded chapter on hardware options features a head-to-head comparison of Token-Ring and Ethernet installations.
