Subject: centralizing administration in workgroup network
Dear Mr Adam,
I am writing about the issue of centralizing administration in workgroup network. I
am working in charity organization with 15-20 staff from stand-alone computers to
an integrated workgroup computer network. We just changed the system to
workgroup computer network right now. However, there are many issues or
problems that affecting the working environment. I am appreciated any opinion
from you. If possible, I would like to invite you to have a short meeting with me
regarding you company and your network infrastructure.
The issues are as follow:
4. How does the system works about the central databases?
5. Are there any potential problems about the software or information sharing?
Glad to hear your response.
Best wishes,
Nicole

Time: 0900-1200
Location: ABC Company, 12 Orchard Grove Strathfield, NSW 2000 AU
Meeting room at level 6 601
Below are the notes taken of the company and the infrastructure required meeting
the needs of the required network capability in that company:
- Number of employees: 20
- Using the LAN network
- A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects
computers within a limited area such as a residence, school, laboratory,
university campus or office building. By contrast, a wide area network (WAN)
not only covers a larger geographic distance, but also generally involves
leased telecommunication circuits.
- Departmental organization: High-level organization charts to help determine
the divisional structure of the organization
- Reporting hierarchy
- The structure and technical level of local and remote IT divisions, their
reporting hierarchies, and local and global IT administrative policies
- The staff can share the information, software and hardware without consent.
However, there is a central computer regulate al the computer

- Using LAN for 5 years without incidents
- All the information keeps in the central computer for 2 years, after 2 years, the
information would be deleted clearly
 - This is the private network for the same office worker

Subject: the network security in workgroup network
Dear Mr Edwards,
I am writing about the network security in workgroup network. I am working in
charity organization with 15-20 staff from stand-alone computers to an integrated
workgroup computer network. We just changed the system to workgroup computer
network right now. However, there are many issues or problems that affecting the
working environment. I am appreciated any opinion from you. The issues are as
follow:
7. How can we secure our system based on the workgroup computer network
8. What is the potential problems about the network security?
Glad to hear your response.

- They used to use stand-alone computer network and change the system to
LAN
- Friendly-environmental
- Cost less for administration waste
- The staff can work wherever they want such as dining area in the officer.
- They can share the information, software and hardware more quickly
- There is the central computer monitor the whole system
- Even though there is freedom for the staff to share information, there is some
resistant to protect the privacy of the client and the company.

Summaries of the discussion

For small and medium enterprises, a network does not need to be anything very
grand. Most office workers will require a computer and- in most set ups- it is simplest
to equip all the staff with either specified PCs or Macs. A typical network that a
workgroup will utilise will have computer terminals for all staff to access a central
database where records are held on another machine. By using the client and server
system, records can be updated, read and changed without causing potential
problems caused by multiple users accessing the same records at the same time.
The server will take control and allow one person to make changes only. The system
will avoid conflicts and data corruption automatically.
Along with the small LAN set up discussed, this usually means a private network
connection to the main servers elsewhere. There are two principles ways that small
offices connect to their larger, parent and central computer. Leased lines can be
hired from a network operator and they make a physical connection between the two
sites. Often little more than digital phone lines these are rented and provide a closed
or private network that usually high secure. Virtual private networks are the other
option. These use internet protocols to communicate data between sites in a virtual
way. Packets of data are sent and received between servers at both ends of the
network over the internet - or cloud as some call it. This means that although private
data is sent over a public network, that it should remain secure, so long as high-level
of encryption is used.

Last but not least, there is easier to provide the network support to them. There is
important to maintain the data safety for the business because they are using the
workgroup to share the data, software and hardware, and centralize the
administration. Data encryption over the internet should be handled by the devices
that provide these services, but all too often office managers forget about the
requirement of users working at terminals to keep the data safe. This means setting
passwords and changing them regularly. In some cases, where there is sensitive
data, some staff should have certain restrictions placed on what they are able to
read from their computer terminal. Along with the technology, office workers need
adequate training so that they are aware of the issues surrounding data protection,
like locking their computer if they step away from their desk.
