Chapter 6 Planning an HP Desk Network
In the previous chapter we looked at planning a single HP Desk
configuration. In this chapter we consider planning a network of HP Desk
systems.
A key consideration is the need for co-operation and co-ordination to
ensure that each site's needs are considered when planning the network.
A single HP Desk Administrator could be assigned the responsibility of
co-ordinating the network, or HP Desk Administrators from all of the
sites may work together as a team.
The examples, in this chapter, use the Pharaoh Company to illustrate the
key considerations when building a HP Desk network.
An HP Desk Administrator at the Pharaoh Company's Corporate Headquarters
in New York has been assigned the role of Network Co-ordinator.
To co-ordinate the network they need to consider:
* The overall network organization.
* The naming convention for the different levels of the network
organization.
* The traffic routing policy for the network.
* The message addressing system for the network.
* Special facilities to be provided by individual computers.
