Lesson 9

This module discussed planning for a successful network architecture.
You should now be able to:

1. Identify the team members involved in determining network needs.
2. Describe the documents and tools for evaluating network and Internet-related needs.
3. Define network architecture and its use.
4. Explain how bandwidth is measured and how its needs are evaluated.
5. Define the steps to evaluate a networks capacity.
6. Define strategies to develop and enhance a network infrastructure.
7. Manage risks when dealing with networks and the Internet.

In this module, you were introduced to the following terms:

1. Bandwidth: Jump to search In computing, bandwidth is the maximum rate of data transfer across a given path. Bandwidth may be characterized as network bandwidth, data bandwidth, or digital bandwidth.
2. load balancer:to search A server log is a log file (or several files) automatically created and maintained by a server consisting of a list of activities it performed.
3. mirroring:Server mirroring is an expensive but effective strategy for achieving fault tolerance. It's expensive because each server must be mirrored by an identical server whose only purpose is to be there in the event of a failure.
4. network architecture:Network Architecture is the complete framework of an organization's computer network.
5. redundancy:Data redundancy occurs in database systems which have a field that is repeated in two or more tables.
6. Requirements Definition:
7. server log: A server log is a log file (or several files) automatically created and maintained by a server consisting of a list of activities it performed.
8. transaction throughput: Throughput is the maximum throughput it can attain, measured in transactions per second (tps) or transactions per minute (tpm).
