Set Up a Server Network

A server, regardless of the type, needs a robust network to give it access to the Internet and allow it to communicate with other computers. Since a server normally has exceptionally high traffic loads when compared to a normal workstation or desktop PC, it requires a network structure robust enough to prevent a bottleneck. Most server networks use gigabit Ethernet, capable of transferring data at 1,000 Mbit/s. Despite this being a relatively high-speed, all of the parts needed to build such a network are available at most major computer and electronics stores.
