Network

LG Display uses a computer network where multiple computers are connected communicating with each other sharing information, hardware as well as software. As an international company with offices and manufacturing plants around the globe, the type of network used by LG Display is most definitely Wide Area Network (WAN). Different form Local Area Network (LAN) which is a network of close proximity, WAN is a set of connected networks serving areas not in immediate proximity to each other.

The company most likely employs a switched network due to the fact that several computers need to have different conversations at the same time and large amount of data needs to be transmitted simultaneously. A switch is ideal in this situation as it is a network device that connects computers and passes messages by repeating each computer’s transmission to the intended recipient. While some local subsidiaries of LG Display may use wired communication media such as twisted-pair cable, coaxial cable and optical fiber to transmit information over a closed, connected path, the headquarter and some other subsidiaries may more likely be using wireless communication media such as microware and satellite to transmit large amount of information through the across greater distance.

Communications Software, Connecting Devices & Voice over IP

LG Display uses a Management Execution System (MES), through Symantec, which manages all of their products stages in production. A product cannot move on to the next step unless the MES "orders" it to.

From April to December 2008, LG Display deployed Oracle Customer Data Hub and Oracle Product Data Hub, and then launched the system in January 2009.
Oracle Customer Hub now provides a new set of composite web services to help speed Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) enablement and supports out-of-the-box integration with Oracle’s Siebel Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and the Oracle E-Business Suite through Oracle Application Integration 2.3 (AIA). This version also provides new usability and fast implementation enhancements, helping speed time to value for MDM projects.
Oracle Integration Repository, an integral part of Oracle Product Hub, is a compilation of information about the numerous interface endpoints exposed by Oracle Product Hub. It provides a complete catalog of Oracle Product Hub business interfaces, and a comprehensive view of the interface mechanisms available. You can use this tool to easily discover and deploy the appropriate business interface from the catalog for integration with any system, application, or business partner. Exposed interfaces types are: Java Service Interfaces, XML Gateway Message Maps, Web Services, PL/SQL Procedures and Functions, Java Methods, Concurrent Programs, Open Interface Tables, Interface Views, etc.
As a multinational company, LG Display does a large amount of business over the world that a voice over IP seems like a logical thing to use in place of flying to business meetings. The business people can now talk and hear just like they were actually there. The company can save money on calls they would already have made with a normal telephone.

Network Security

Availability is how easily it is for a person to have access to a piece of information. LG makes the financial statement available for potential investors. The product information is also on the website in an easy to read format. The website is rarely a target for spyware and attacks since very few people use the website to buy items off it.

Confidentiality means information is being accessed by only those authorized to have that information. LG encrypts private documents so that only those with a password can access them. The locks and keys are in proper hands of those who need to have them.

Authenticity is source material really coming from where it says to be coming from. The source of all of LG material is marked by accredited agencies. LG also does not have a history of fabricating any of their legal or financial documents. Transparency of LG is apparent with the amount of data released to the public on its website.

Integrity is when the documents are not altered in an effort to affect what they mean. The web site is transparent with numbers being authentic. The web server LG use has very tough protection keeping hackers from crashing the site.
