Star Network Topology

Star is a basic computer network topology in which all nodes (computers and peripheral devices) of the network are connected to the central hub or switch with a point-to-point connection, forming a physical network segment. Such network segment can function separately or as a part of complex network topology. The switch is a server, the peripherals are the clients. The large workload and functions of network management are entrusted on the central computer, all information exchange goes through it, so it must to be obligatory the most powerful. The star network topology is a simple topology for design and implementation. Its advantages are high performance, flexible administration capabilities, simplicity of adding additional nodes and search of faults, the fact that a failure of one workstation doesn't affect the work of entire network. But the failure of central hub will result the failure of whole network or network segment - it's the main disadvantage. Use the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM with Computer and Networks solution to designing Star Network Topology Diagrams fast and easy.

Interior Design. Site Plan — Design Elements

Site plans are large scale drawings that illustrate a lot of useful information, such as location of buildings on the surrounding territories, topography of the site, roads, footpaths, paved and hardstandings areas, ramps, parking areas, fencing, walls and gates, landscape elements, trees and plants, layout of external lighting and service runs, adjoining and adjacent structures, surrounding streets, and many other details. On each Site plan are also designated the scale, dimensions, site boundaries, key materials, and other additional notes. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and interior design software extended with Site Plans solution from Building Plans area contains Parking and Roads, Site Accessories, Trees and Plants libraries with numerous collection of ready-to-use vector design elements for drawing detailed Site plans, Site design plans, Structural site plans, Landscape drawings for any locality and of any complexity without efforts. This software will be also useful for planning the parks, creation yard layouts, development residential and commercial landscape designs.

Network Topologies

Network topology is a topological structure of computer network, which can be physical or logical. The physical topology depicts location of different computer network elements such as computers, cables and other devices. The logical topology visually displays network dataflows from one device to another. Sometimes network logical and physical topologies can be the same. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software is powerful for drawing network maps and network topologies diagrams of any kinds and complexity thanks to the Computer Network Diagrams solution from the Computer and Networks area. ConceptDraw STORE proposes collection of network icons libraries and a lot of Network Topology Diagram examples, samples and templates which were created at ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software specially for Computer Network Diagrams solution. There are six basic types of the network topologies: Bus, Star, Ring, Mesh, Tree, Fully Connected. You can fast and easy design professional-looking diagram for each of them using the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM tools. There are plenty of web Visio-like diagramming software available. Web based diagrams software can be powerful, but sometimes it is essential to have desktop software. One of the most advanced diagrams tools like Visio for Mac OS is ConceptDraw DIAGRAM app.

Building Drawing. Design Element Site Plan

Site Plan is a part of a development project. It is a visual graphic representation of the arrangement of buildings, parking for cars and bikes, drives, landscaping, parks, flowerbeds, benches and other structural elements on the plan. Depending on the degree of detailing you can see on the Site plan more or fewer of building constructions and landscape design elements. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM Solution Park includes a specially developed Site Plans solution from the Building Plans area, which offers templates, samples, examples, and a lot of predesigned building drawing design elements for Site plan. The set of design elements contains the exclusive vector shapes of site accessories, parking, roads, trees, plants, etc. So, with confidence we can say that ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software with Site Plans solution is the best help for all in development and drawing your own Residential and Commercial landscape designs, Site plans, Park plans, Yard layouts, Outdoor recreational facilities and Irrigation system plans, and many others.

How to Draw a Landscape Design Plan

What is landscape design? It's a floor plan but for an outdoor area. Same as a floor plan, a landscape design represents visually any site using scaled dimensions. The main purpose of landscape design is to plan the layout for an outdoor area no matter is it a personal site plan for your home or a commercial plan for business. It may also be handful when a new installation, repair or even an outdoor event is planning. It helps to calculate time and decide which materials should be used in your project. Landscape designs perfectly gives the property owner and landscape contractor better vision for cost estimation, helping to ensure the project time and budget.

Cause and Effect Analysis

Cause and Effect Analysis - The Seven Management and Planning Tools is a tool for Cause and Effect Analysis that allows users to analyze the root causes for factors that influenced the problem. This diagram is constructed separately for each highly prioritized factor. The Diagram is then used for further formulation of potential actions.

Problem solving

Problem Solving - ConceptDraw Office suite is a software for the problem solving. The Seven Management and Planning Tools solution is a set of such tools for investigating complex problems. These tools are exemplary at organizing research, parsing complex problems, providing a structure for the details, helping managers make decisions, and organizing effective communications in a visual manner that keeps everyone involved.
