A LAN is a grouping of workstations and servers that are networked without the use of any Wide Area links. This type of network is used by small to medium size companies and typically consists of five to 250 users with one or more file servers and no connections between different sites. A company may have multiple LANs in place that function as islands that do not share information.

The two most typical types of LAN environments are the Token Ring and the Ethernet. A Token Ring is exactly what it sounds like. Each of the Workstations and Servers are connected to one another completing a complete loop or ring. There is connectivity dependency between each member of the ring. An Ethernet consists of Workstations connected to one or more Servers in a "Spoke and Hub" environment. If one or more workstation connections were to be broken, this would not affect the other members of the Ethernet.
In either case, the goal is to create information once and have it shared by all that may need it. Eliminating redundancy delivers benefits in both information quality and reduction of related costs. Each of these environments could either operate independently or be used in combination as the situation demands.
