ADVANTAGES
Of WAN
- Covers a large geographical area so long distance businesses can connect on the one network
- Shares software and resources with connecting workstations
- Messages can be sent very quickly to anyone else on the network. These messages can have pictures, sounds, or data included with them (called attachments).
- Expensive things (such as printers or phone lines to the internet) can be shared by all the computers on the network without having to buy a different peripheral for each computer.
- Everyone on the network can use the same data. This avoids problems where some users may have older information than others.
- Share information/files over a larger area
- large network cover
DISADVANTAGES Of WAN
- Are expensive and generally slow
- Need a good firewall to restrict outsiders from entering and disrupting the network
- Setting up a network can be an expensive and complicated experience. The bigger the network the more expensive it is.
- Security is a real issue when many different people have the ability to use information from other computers. Protection against hackers and viruses adds more complexity and expense.
- Once set up, maintaining a network is a full-time job which requires network supervisors and technicians to be employed.
