WANympäristöissä

WANympäristöissä refers to wide area network environments. These are computer networks that span large geographical areas, such as across cities, states, or countries. Unlike local area networks (LANs) which connect devices within a limited area like a single building, WANs connect multiple LANs together. This allows for communication and data sharing between geographically dispersed locations. Common examples of WAN technologies include the internet itself, dedicated leased lines, and VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) that create secure connections over public networks. Businesses and organizations utilize WANs to connect their various branches, facilitate remote work, and access cloud-based services. The design and management of WANs involve considerations such as bandwidth, latency, security, and cost. The complexity of WANs is generally higher than that of LANs due to the distances involved and the variety of technologies that can be employed.
