The industry that I have chosen for this topic is within the realm of Healthcare and IT development.
This closely resembles the company that I work for. The closest topology that describes our network
would be a mesh topology. With this topology We are able to work closely with Clients to develop
and implement new updates and services. Due to using the mesh topology we are able to ensure
security and reliability to the services and data (PHI, PII and systems) to ensure that nothing is
compromised or unavailable at any given point.
Point-to-point topology relies on the direct connec$on between points in order to maintain the
network. This is typically %ne with a smaller area of opera$on in which there are not a lot of
computers.
Bus topology relies on a main cable and terminators in which Computers are connected within the
topology, this is e'cient within a smaller network. If the main cable fails then the network can fail.
Due to the cable being the main factor there seems to be no real redundancy to this topology.
The Ring topology is a ring of connec$ons (nodes) where data )ows in one direc$on. All computers
on this network have the same level of access, which means that security protec$on is not op$mal in
terms of least amount of access. If one node fails within this network then the whole network will
fail.
Star topology relies upon a central hub where all devices can branch o, of. In this was scalability
and modifying the network is rela$vely easy. Overall, the network relies on the central hub, where if
the hub fails the network fails.
