Lan Local area network. This is connected to other devices through an Ethernet cable. This connects the computers within the area and you can share files with the other computers that are connected. Workstations can share peripheral devices such as printers. It is much cheaper than buying a printer for each workstation. The workstations do not really need their own hard disk or CD-ROM drives this makes them cheaper to buy. Security is needed to stop users from using programs and data that they
