Computer Network Workstation

Any computer on a network that is used by people is usually referred as a Network Workstation. Sometimes such workstations are also called network clients. Network workstastions can also be any type of computer that includes the necessary network hardware and software, such as an Apple Macintosh or some form of UNIX -based computer.

Do not confuse a network workstation with workstation-class computers. Workstation-class computers are high-end  computers used for computer-aided design, engineering and graphics work.


Network Workstation Requirements

Computers connected to a LAN differ slightly from computers that are stand-alone. They have additional hardware installed in them and they run additional network software.
