Wide area network (WAN) topology. Computer and Network Examples

A Wide area network (WAN) is a telecommunication network that is used for connecting computers and covers a wide geographical area. WANs often contain a few smaller networks (LANs, MANs, etc.). The packet switching and circuit switching technologies are effectively used in WANs.
This example was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Computer and Networks Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park and shows the Wide area network topology.

Illustrate the Computer Network of a Building

With best content of the Wireless Network solution that includes more than 10 building pre-designed objects network engineers can illustrate the computer network of a building.

Draw Network Diagram based on Templates and Examples

ConceptDraw is rapid and powerful network diagram drawing software with rich examples, templates, design objects and stencils.

Azure Services

Azure is a cloud computing platform developed by Microsoft which offers the extensive infrastructure and wide set of integrated Azure services useful for effective computing, storage, analytics, databases, networking, application development and deployment.
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM extended with Azure Architecture Solution from the Computer and Networks area is a powerful diagramming and vector drawing software with extensive set of useful drawing tools for easy creating Azure Architecture Diagrams and documenting Azure services.

Campus Area Networks (CAN). Computer and Network Examples

A campus network provides wireless access to the Internet or LAN to users located in two or more buildings or in the open space surrounding those buildings. A campus network is usually set in the campus of a university, but the same kind of planning and design can be applied for other purposes. For example, the campus network can used for an office or industrial park, in a public place like a supermarket with an entertainment center, even on a farm. Another form of temporary campus network can exist during special events such as music festivals or rallies.
The elementary campus networks arise spontaneously: the radio signals from the access points, which provide network inside the building are not limited to its walls, so any user in the backyard can also get wireless network access. The larger and more complex campus network may have additional access points in places specially chosen for serving clients, i.e., on the lawn in front of the college or in a coffee shop around the corner.

Network Diagramming Software for Design. Cisco Network Diagrams

Cisco Network Diagrams use Cisco network symbols to visualize the computer networks topology and equipment connections and arrangement. They are used by IT professionals and corporate IT departments, network and system administrators to visually document the topology and design of Cisco networks. Cisco has its own brand of network diagram icons. Cisco symbols are depicting network equipment, and connections lines where their style specifies the physical connection type. A Cloud icon represents the connection between external and internal networks without determining of outside network structure. If the same LAN designed with several appliances like PCs, a server and they connected to a switch and further connected to a router, which is linked to the Internet through the WAN. Various network diagrams may be depicted, for a LAN level with personal nodes or single physical devices, hubs or servers.

The PM Planning solution extends the functional abilities of ConceptDraw MINDMAP and ConceptDraw PROJECT software, allowing to automatically create the spreadsheets reflecting the tasks and project statuses for people who have different project roles. The reporting capabilities of this solution are represented by the possibility to generate a wide range of project reports that allow the project managers, senior management and other project participants to be informed on a project daily progress and monthly objectives: All Inclusive Report, All Visible Columns, Milestones with Notes and Objectives, Projects Goals, Projects Managers, Project Team, and Top Level Tasks. The PM Planning solution from ConceptDraw Solution Park is a strong project management and productivity tool which simplifies the process of reporting and lets one create a document with the desired report, includes the predesigned examples, extends and improves the planning capabilities for all team members, improves the project communication, helps to accurately plan, maintain, and finish projects on time, to track the work of project resources, to perform the analytical work and to make effective decisions.

Cisco WAN. Cisco icons, shapes, stencils and symbols

The ConceptDraw vector stencils library Cisco WAN contains equipment symbols for drawing the computer wide area network diagrams.

Metropolitan area networks (MAN). Computer and Network Examples

Metropolitan Area Network combines local networks located within a city, and is based on high data rate compounds, implemented on the basis of fiber channels and other digital data transmission channels. Now, with the increasing number of network communities, wireless local area networks based on 802.11b standard are combined into a wireless metropolitan area network consisting of affordable antenna systems and consumer-grade wireless equipment using 802.11a and 802.11b standards.
