Beginning with these four general business uses, one should undertake a more thorough analysis of peripheral sharing needs to assist in selecting from the currently available peripheral sharing technology.
These technical requirements can be compared to the non-LAN PC connectivity technology analysis grid for initial possible technology solutions. The technology analysis grid maps peripheral sharing functionality, on the vertical axis, against available technology alternatives on the horizontal axis. Intersections indicate whether a given feature or function is standard or occasionally included in a given device. For example, if the answer to question 12 regarding the need to transfer files and e-mail was affirmative, then referring to the technology analysis grid, only data switches and data PBXs would need to be explored further. The purpose of the technology analysis grid is not to provide definite and final answers but rather to guide product research in a time efficient manner. Each technology alternative listed in the grid is described briefly in the following section.
