Chapter 6 Paradigm Shifts

Personal computers are designed for the use of one person, while homegroup networks allow multiple computers to share resources without centralized management. Domain networks have centralized management of security and permissions through domain controllers. Homegroup networks typically involve fewer than 20 computers on the same local network, while domains can include hundreds or thousands of computers across different local networks with single sign-on access.

Homegroup
VS
Domain
Computers on a network can be part of a workgroup
or a domain.
The main difference between workgroups and
domains is how resources on the network are
managed.
Computers on home networks are usually part of a
workgroup
Computers on workplace networks are usually part
of a domain.
In a workgroup:
 All computers are peers; no computer
has control over another computer.
 Each computer has a set of user
accounts. To use any computer in the
workgroup, you must have an account
on that computer.
In a workgroup:
 There are typically no more than ten to
twenty computers.
 All computers must be on the same
local network or subnet.
In a domain:
One or more computers
are servers.
Network administrators
use servers to control the
security and permissions
for all computers on the
domain.
This makes it easy to make
changes because the
changes are automatically
made to all computers.
In a domain:
If you have a user account
on the domain, you can log
on to any computer on the
domain without needing an
account on that computer.
There can be hundreds or
thousands of computers.
The computers can be on
different local networks.

Intranets are private, secured networks that are used
to share information effectively within a company.
 Extranet is an extension of
intranet that is made available to
users outside of the organization.
 Private networks designed to
allow certain individuals outside
of the company to communicate
with members within your
organization in a secure and
private virtual space.
 Example: Customer Portal.
