As the holidays pass and we all return to work, we, well at least I, start looking at how I can be more efficient in my day-to-day activities, boosting productivity in the long run for myself and my organization. Sometimes this means assessing what I'm currently doing and looking at different ways to continue to be a fierce competitor in the market place.
Depending on where your business is currently and where you see yourselves down the road, there are some things to consider when planning an IT network for your organization.
Tech-FAQ.com defines a network as the grouping of hardware devices and software components which are necessary to connect devices within the organization and to connect the organization to other organizations and the Internet.
The first steps generally include installing and configuring the hardware, followed by installing the operating system and the software into the network infrastructure. Something very important to remember is that the operating system (OS), is considered to be the main software component within the network infrastructure, for it holds network communication protocols that allow networks to communicate. The OS also includes security applications to protect the network from outside threats.
As you start to assess whether your organization needs server capabilities, having a network infrastructure in place gives you and other users the backbone and support you need to start bringing on more hardware (i.e. file and print servers, web and messaging servers, database servers, and application servers).
During formulating stages of building a network infrastructure, Tech-FAQ.com suggests some key elements that need to be determined as you move forward:

Tech-FAQ.com defines a network as the grouping of hardware devices and software components which are necessary to connect devices within the organization and to connect the organization to other organizations and the Internet.
- Example of hardware used within a network is a network interface card (NIC), computers, cabling, etc.
- Examples of software within a network are protocols and network services which help the different network components communicate.
The first steps generally include installing and configuring the hardware, followed by installing the operating system and the software into the network infrastructure.

During formulating stages of building a network infrastructure, Tech-FAQ.com suggests some key elements that need to be determined as you move forward:
- Determine which physical hardware components are needed for the network infrastructure which you want to implement.
- Determine software components needed for the infrastructure.
- Determine location, installation, and configuration options for all hardware and software.
