A network consisting of intelligent machines connected together in a company building or group of company buildings is called a(n) ? network.

• A. Enterprise
• B. Metropolitan
• C. Campus
• D. Local

Answer: (A)

An enterprise network is the internal network that ties together all of an organization’s computers, servers, and devices across one or more sites. It’s designed to support communication, data sharing, and centralized management across several buildings or campuses, and often spans multiple locations with WAN links. That broader, organization-wide scope fits a company building or group of company buildings best, since it describes the network that serves the entire business rather than just a single site. Local networks cover a single building, campus networks connect multiple buildings on a campus, and metropolitan networks span a city, but an enterprise network encompasses all of these within the organization.
