an introduction to Networking Software

The broader concept of networking encompasses any interaction among two or more people or machines. For our purposes, the software included in the Networking category relates to the systems that allow computers, portable devices, and other machines to connect to each other and other such networks, including the globally connected system of servers and computers commonly known as the Internet.

The subject of computer networking often falls into the category of information technology or information systems, though it is not restricted to the business and enterprise IS/IT audience. Today, even novice PC users are constructing and maintaining their own home networks, and many workers access their business computers from other locations using remote access. For establishing and maintaining a wireless home network protected against external threats, see our feature How to secure a wireless network.

Successful networks depend on a large number of variable factors, and managing those elements is a key ingredient in maintaining a reliable and effective system. Products such as Bandwidth Monitor Pro, Packet Analyzer Enterprise Edition, and SysAid Help Desk and Inventory offer assistance in tracking and monitoring your network.

As the growth of Wi-Fi technologies such as the 802.11g standard continues, more products are beginning to offer security for wireless networks and devices, including Trend Micro PC-cillin and McAfee Wireless Home Network Security. We can only expect the trend to accelerate as more cities, cafes, and other public and private spaces adopt Wi-Fi.
