Abstract: | The National Computing Centre installed a microcomputer-based local area network in 1981. The paper reviews the operation of this network since its implementation. The configuration of the network and the facilities it provides are described. The justification for such a network is examined, and the objectives of the installation are listed. The criteria on which the network was chosen are discussed, and implementation, training and support are described. The applications of the network are examined, along with user reaction, the impact on work and the benefits achieved. Problems and limitations of the network are also discussed. |
