​Also known as a server cluster, a server farm is a large number—up to thousands—of servers grouped together to provide better functionality and accessibility. By keeping the servers close together, the manager of a server farm can achieve centralized control and economy of scale. The servers can provide backup for each other in case of individual system failure.

• ​A network bridge can link two corporate LANs that operate using the same network protocols. When crossing through a bridge, network packets are not modified.

• Network gateways are designed to perform traffic translation.

​It checks compatibility between the two networks and then converts the data packet to ensure that it can be transmitted between them.
