High availability is an aspect of system design that ensures your network is running when you need it to. Networks, and the computers that make up the networks, have many components that all need to be working in order to be “available”. If one of these components aren’t working properly, then you might experience significant downtime where you can’t access your network or services.

In this article, we’ll discuss how a network is used in getting businesses to operate efficiently.

As seemingly minor errors or omissions can have drastic consequences, many business owners opt to hire IT professionals to set up their networks. This week, without getting hyper-technical, we’ll talk about local area networks, or LAN - what they are, how they work, and why they’re awesome.

I remember using an audio foot pedal to go back 15 seconds into the audio file to make sure that I heard a word correctly or that I did not miss important information that my interviewee mentioned.
