Series of Cisco workgroup switches that enhance the network performance of Ethernet client/server workgroups. The Catalyst Workgroup Switch integrates software enhancements for network management and provides a 100-Mbps interface to servers and dedicated Ethernet-to-desktop workstations.

Cisco LightStream 100 ATM switch. a fully nonblocking ATM switch operating at up to 2.4 Gbps and supporting multiple ATM lines of 155-Mbps data speed as well as a variety of LAN and WAN interfaces. The LightStream 100 switch can serve as part of an ATM workgroup or small campus backbone connecting a number of ATM routers, multilayer LAN switches, and high-performance servers and clients.

Series of Cisco workgroup adapters that allow workstations to connect to CDDI or FDDI interfaces operating at 100 Mbps.

Series of Cisco workgroup concentrators that combines the compact form factor of workgroup concentrators with the versatility of modular hubs. Supports from 4 to 32 combinations of CDDI or FDDI ports.

The major difference between a workgroup and a domain is where the user account information resides for user logon authentication. For a workgroup, user account information resides in the local security database on each computer in the workgroup. For the domain, the user account information resides in the Active Directory Database.

A workgroup is a network of computers that can share access to each other's resources. Each computer in the workgroup maintains a list of user accounts describing passwords and access rights.

A switch,  keeps a record of the MAC addresses of all the devices connected to it. With this information, a switch can identify which system is sitting on which port. So when a frame is received, it knows exactly which port to send it to, which significantly increases network response times. And, unlike a Hub, a 10/100Mbps switch will allocate a full 10/100Mbps to each of its ports. So regardless of the number of PCs transmitting, users will always have access to the maximum amount of bandwidth. It's for these reasons why a switch is considered to be a much better choice then a hub.
Routers are completely different creatures. Where a hub or switch is concerned with transmitting frames, a router's job, as its name implies, is to route packets to other networks until that packet ultimately reaches its
destination. One of the key features of a packet is that it not only contains data, but the destination address of
where it's going.
A router is typically connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP's network (ex. your pc or workgroup and EarthLink). Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more networks connect. Using headers and forwarding tables, routers determine the best path for forwarding the packets. Routers use protocols such as ICMP to communicate with each other and configure the best route between any two hosts.
A router will typically include a 4-to-8 port Ethernet switch (or hub) and a Network Address Translator (NAT). In addition, they usually include a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, Domain Name Service (DNS) proxy server and a hardware firewall to protect the Local Area Network (LAN) from malicious intrusion from the Internet.

SQL Server2000 Reporting Services relies on several major components to function correctly. Report Manager (RM) is used to administer the RS web service and can be used to
serve up reports from a folder/list interface. RM is actually a web application
that calls the RS web service. Database Server: This machine hosts the SQL Server 2000 databases required to
persist application information. Reports can be drawn from SQL Server, ODBC or
Oracle data sources. SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is a server based report generation
environment developed by Microsoft. It can be used to deliver a variety of
interactive and printed reports. It is administered via a web interface.
Reporting services features a web services interface to support the development of
custom reporting applications. SSRS is a competitor of Crystal Reports and other Business intelligence tools,
and is included in Express, Workgroup, Standard, and Enterprise editions of
Microsoft SQL Server as an install option. Reporting Services was first released
in 2004 as an add-on to SQL Server 2000. The current version was released as a
part of SQL Server 2005 in November 2005.
