Question

Give 2 drawbacks to a company of using a network​

Answer 1

Answer:

Advantages

Sharing devices such as printers saves money.

Site (software) licences are likely to be cheaper than buying several standalone licences.

Files can easily be shared between users.

Security is good - users cannot see other users' files unlike on stand-alone machines.

Data is easy to backup as all the data is stored on the file server.

Disadvantages

Purchasing the network cabling and file servers can be expensive.

Managing a large network is complicated, requires training and a network manager usually needs to be employed.

If the file server breaks down the files on the file server become inaccessible. Email might still work if it is on a separate server. The computers can still be used but are isolated
