Enterprise Networks: Infrastructure and Security explains todays business networks, in all their realistic complexity. The textbook provides an overview of networking and communication technologies including the expanding uses of the cloud, the internet, and IoT, and, of great importance today, the security technologies that protect them. In this manner, students develop an integrated understanding of todays business networks technologies, how they are interrelated, how they work, and how they are evolving.
Layered models, including the OSI and TCP/IP models, are used to facilitate understanding of data transfers between network endpoints. They make complex end-to-end communications more digestible and understandable by focusing on communications between corresponding layers at endpoints.
The upper layers of the OSI and TCP/IP models promote understanding of how applications are supported in networks and how the Internet works. They are featured in the book’s opening chapters. The lower layers of these models facilitate understanding of communications in local networks and are featured across the book’s middle chapters.
Other layered models are used in the book’s closing chapters to promote understanding of the deployments of networking equipment and security defenses. Mapping networking and security technologies to the layers of these models enriches understanding of the functions the technologies perform.
When “enterprise network infrastructure” is used as a search term, the results reveal that the cloud is an important enterprise network domain. Cloud applications and infrastructure are widely used by businesses to enable communications among devices, users, and applications regardless of their location; these are important parts of today’s business networks that challenge/blur traditional perspectives about network boundaries. Because it is untenable to argue that the cloud is external to business computing landscapes, the Internet and the cloud are considered essential enterprise network components, and cloud apps, services, storage, infrastructure, and security are discussed in context across chapters. Surging IoT deployments across industries reflect how enterprise networks and the cloud are increasingly intertwined and are a primary reason why this book includes a chapter on the IoT.
Target Audience:
This book is designed for undergraduate and graduate data communications and networking courses. Because enterprise networks are business-centric, the book is well suited for networking courses in business and information systems degree programs. However, it has sufficient breadth and depth for use in introductory networking courses in information technology and computer science curricula.
It assumes that most readers will have limited or no prior knowledge of networking and attempts to describe networking concepts from the ground up. Fundamental concepts are introduced in a simplified manner and are used as building blocks for understanding more complicated topics.
Balancing practical and technical orientations is a challenge for data communications and networking books, courses, and instructors. This book tries to strike a balance between both perspectives. It provides the business rationale for enterprise network technologies and describes them in technically accurate ways without excessive detail.
