Network topology describes the arrangement of devices and connections in a network — a decision with real consequences for reliability and performance.
Star Topology
Every device connects to a central hub — simple to manage, but the central hub becomes a single point of failure if it goes down.
Mesh Topology
Devices connect to multiple others directly, providing strong redundancy at the cost of more complex cabling and configuration.
Why Data Centers Favor Redundant Designs
Serious hosting infrastructure typically leans toward topologies with built-in redundancy, deliberately avoiding any single point that could take down the whole network if it fails.
