…essential in conserving the health of the network. Regular cleaning prevents dust accumulation. Timely replacement of network components maintains the performance of the network. In addition to that, regular software and security updates have to be installed to keep the network up-to-date. Strong network, better facilities A communication network is like the central nervous system in the human body. It should be present in every nook and corner. It should also have the capability to deliver the right information at the right time. When this communication network experiences a failure or a breakdown, the information transfer between the servers and…
