These computers will not be expensive as the business does not need high manageance computers except for the server, however as the brothers and staff dont know much about computers it will be necessary to purchase installation and training which could be costly.

Server a computer or device on a network that manages network resources, the business will only need one lower power server as only a few user will be connected to the network Processor the processor is the brains of the computer, the processor is where most of the calculations take place and it is the most important element of a computer.

The business wont need an expensive motherboard, just the one that is compatible with the processor. Network card an expansion card you introduce into a computer so computers can connect to the network, there will be a network slot on the computers so they can be connected Printer it is recommended that the business get a laser printer as it is cheaper in the long run instead of an ink jet printer, they may need a colour printer because of graphs etc. printer can also be connected to the network so they can be shared. A network is a communication system, a collection of resources, objects and people.Any two or more interconnected computer systems can be described as a network. A network improves communications, share resources and there is more efficiency. It is recommended that the business use a metropolitan area network, this is where different sites are connected. This is because there is a shop is Apenury which needs to be connected. The two shops and office should be connected through a local area network as they are on one site. The type of network that is recommended is a client/serve r network where multiple workstations are connected to one or more servers.
