Campus Area Networks (CAN).
Computer and Network Examples
The modern education system, one way or another, aims to form students' abilities to work with information. It is no coincidence that the prior areas of education development pay special attention to form skills of information processing, which later becomes the mainstay of professional activity of graduates in the information society, a necessary component of information culture. In such circumstances, students will acquire the necessary knowledge to express themselves creatively, learn to evaluate the accuracy of the information, develop critical thinking, and distinguish information and knowledge.
Local networks are common in the education field. Most schools and other educational institutions have computers connected to a local network. At the same time, modern technologies allow to connect even the computers that are on different continents, and not only in the same room or building. Numerous educational institutions have branches in different countries, with computer connected via local network. Moreover, local area networks can connect computers from different colleges or universities.
Using Internet, any student can get public access to education materials that can be presented in the form of simple textbooks (e-text), as well as in the form of complex interactive systems, computer models of virtual learning environments, etc. The number of users and information sources of Internet is continuously increasing. In addition, there is a constant quality of telecommunications services improvement. Because of this, not only companies and organizations operating in the economic and other fields have a high-quality access to the Internet, but also educational institutions.
Many systems are susceptible to vulnerabilities that can take full control of critical resources (e-mail systems, network equipment management and others). Critical vulnerabilities are often associated with the use of outdated versions of software and operating systems.
Studies have shown that the modern corporate networks are quite vulnerable to attacks from internal and external intruders. The ability to access the critical resources of most examined systems leads to the conclusion about the necessity of the information security measures improvement, particularly in the area of password policies, web application protection, providing regular security updates and protection of privileged accounts. For safety deficiencies early detection, system administrator should regularly conduct security analysis, including the form of penetration testing.
A Campus Area Network (CAN) is a computer network that links the buildings and consists of two or more local area networks (LANs) within the limited geographical area. It can be the college campus, enterprise campus, office buildings, military base, industrial complex. CAN is one of the type of MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) on the area smaller than MAN.
The Campus networks usually use the:
- LAN technologies,
- such as Ethernet,
- Token Ring,
- Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI),
- Fast Ethernet,
- Gigabit Ethernet
- Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a powerful diagramming and vector drawing software that allows quick and easy draw the Campus Area Networks.

This example was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Computer and Networks Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park and shows the Campus Area Network.
Campus network can be additional to the set of wireless connections, connect several buildings to the same network, but it's not the same thing. A campus network should be broad enough to cover a large territory, while the point-to-point access simply distributes a separate network within the territory of several buildings. Project Athena at MIT and Stanford University Network at Stanford University are the most well-known networks. Athena was launched in 1983 and it still works. It’s primary purpose was to share experience, code and ideas among students, to found a base of knowledge for the future generations and to develop educational tools. This project influenced the development of instant messaging, online help systems, improved client–server model of distributed computing, developed Kerberos protocol for encrypted authentication and authorization and has many other functional and system management advantages. Some of Athena architecture design features are used beyond MIT, for example in Iowa State University and North Carolina State University.
All networks designed with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM are vector graphic documents and are available for reviewing, modifying, and converting to a variety of formats (image, HTML, PDF, MS PowerPoint, Adobe Flash or MS Visio).

While developing software, it is very important to have a visual model, because it helps to represent the logic and the architecture of an application. Experienced engineers use UML diagrams to denote relationships between classes and their instances. UML is a general language for a set of diagrams like deployment diagrams, object diagrams or use case diagrams.
This diagram represents UML class diagram used for a software system development using an object-oriented method. Class diagrams are categorized as static structure diagrams that depict the physical structure of a system. Class diagram divides a software system's structure into "classes". Classes are defined by the methods and variables of objects. UML Class diagram is used to depict relationships and source code dependencies between objects.

Enterprise systems engineers almost every day face the necessity of network diagrams. We should also take into account that Cisco network design is not only limited to computer networks, but, furthermore, you can design telephone networks and much more. You can build an hierarchical model of your network to get better performance and reliability.
This network diagram represents the utilization of Conceptdraw DIAGRAM for network documentation creation. The diagram shows schematically the structure of a node of a large Internet service provider, which is completed on the basis of Cisco equipment. This diagram was designed using the vector library containing the images of Cisco equipment, supplied with Cisco Network Diagrams solution. In total, the solution has more than ten libraries including more than 500 vector icons of Cisco equipment.

Making a chart such as a funnel one may be a challenge for those who do not have as much experience in creating it. For this reason, as well as for time-saving sake, the Funnel Diagrams solution was introduced in order to simplify any ConceptDraw DIAGRAM user’s process of creating the funnel charts. This Funnel Diagrams solution includes the pre-made design elements in the stencil libraries and the templates of such charts.

If you need to describe some process, diagramming is a perfect tool for almost any imaginable purpose. The set of the most commonly used flow charts symbols is quite wide and includes symbols for operations, processes, data inputs and outputs. You can see the full list of all the symbols used for flowcharting in Flowcharts solution from Diagrams area in ConceptDraw Solution Park.
A flow chart is often used for visual representation of a sequential process flow. The flowchart approach to any process is to divide it into some sequential actions. What makes a flow chart so popular and clear to make out is the set of standard flowchart symbols that has the same reading independently from processes described with their applying. The current drawing represents the vector library containing the pack of standard flowchart symbols. This library is supplied with ConceptDraw Flowcharts solution.
