Local area network (LAN). Computer and Network Examples

Local Area Network (LAN) is a network which consists of computers and peripheral devices connected each other and to the local domain server, and covers a little territory or small number of buildings, such as home, school, laboratory, office, etc. LAN serves for few hundreds of users. It includes many cables and wires, and demands to design previously a Network diagram. All local area network devices can use the shared printers and disk storage. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a perfect network diagramming software with examples of LAN Diagrams, templates and predesigned vector objects. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is the ideal choice for network engineers and network designers who need to draw fast and easy Local Area Network Diagrams, for IT specialists, developers and other IT professionals which need to visualize the communication schemes of LAN and visually document the LAN's physical structure and arrangement in houses, offices and other buildings. Ready-to-use vector objects from Computer Network Diagrams solution will help you design LAN diagrams in minutes.

Metropolitan area networks (MAN). Computer and Network Examples

A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is a great computer network located on the large geographical area or region. It is a network bigger than Local Area Network (LAN), but territorially smaller than Wide Area Network (WAN), its diameter usually ranges from 5 to 50 kilometers. MAN usually includes several buildings or even the whole city (metropolis). It is based on high data rate compounds using the fiber channels and other digital data transmission channels. MAN includes a lot of communicating devices, for its construction are used multiple routers, switches and hubs. MAN can combine together several Local Area Networks or Campus Area Networks located in different buildings within a city and provides the Internet connectivity for them. Solutions included to Computer and Networks Area for ConceptDraw Solution Park are the real godsend for those who want design Computer Network Diagrams, and among others the Metropolitan Area Network Diagrams. They offer the libraries with ready-to-use vector design elements, professional-looking examples, samples and templates.

Computer Network Architecture. Computer and Network Examples

The network architecture and design specialization will help you gain the technical leadership skills you need to design and implement high-quality networks that support business needs.

UML Deployment Diagram Example - ATM System UML diagrams

The UML Deployment Diagram is used for visualization of elements and components of a program, that exist at the stage of its execution. It contains graphical representations of processors, devices, processes, and relationships between them. The UML Deployment Diagram allows to determine the distribution of system components on its physical nodes, to show the physical connections between all system nodes at the stage of realization, to identify the system bottlenecks and reconfigure its topology to achieve the required performance. The UML Deployment diagram is typically developed jointly by systems analysts, network engineers and system engineers. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software with Rapid UML solution from Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park perfectly suits for designing different types of UML diagrams, including the UML Deployment Diagrams. There are included a lot of design elements, templates, examples and samples, among them an example of work of ATM (Automated Teller Machine) banking system.

Hybrid Network Topology

A network topology is the topological structure or the arrangement of different elements of computer network. There are several basic types of network topologies, such as star, ring, bus, mesh. But the most popular is a combination of two or more diverse basic network topologies, which is known as hybrid network topology. The examples of hybrid topology are: star-bus, star-ring topologies, etc. Each resulting hybrid topology has its own features, advantages and limitations of its components. Hybrid network topologies are more flexible, reliable, and have increased fault tolerance, the faults in them can be easily diagnosed and corrected, new nodes can be easily added. But at the same time hybrid topologies often are sufficiently expensive and difficult for managing. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software supplied with the tools of Computer Network Diagrams solution from Computer and Networks area is perfect for schematic description various types of computer network topologies and easy designing Hybrid network topology diagrams.

Interactive voice response (IVR) networks. Computer and Network Examples

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is a system of the prerecorded voice messages that allows a computer to interact with humans. IVR performs the function of the routing calls within a call center, using the information entered by the customer on the phone keypad in the touchtone mode. This example was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Computer and Networks Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park and show the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) network.

Diagramming Software for Design UML Use Case Diagrams

Use Case Diagrams describes the functionality provided by a system in terms of actors, their goals represented as use cases, and any dependencies among those use cases.
