<p>A data communication network comprises a remote server (1), a local server in data communication with the remote server (1) via a remote telecommunication network and client computing devices (5) in data communication with the local server via a local data network. The local server is configured to receive data from the remote server (1) and to distribute the received data to the client computing devices (5) via the local data network. The local server comprises a plurality of plug computers (4), each plug computer in data communication with at least one other of the plug computers (4) via the local data network. At least one of the plug computers (4a) is configured to receive data from the remote server (1) via the remote telecommunication network and to communicate the received data to at least one other of the plug computers (4) via the local data network. Each client computing device (5) is in data communication with at least one of the plug computers (4) via the local data network to receive data received from the remote server (1).</p> |
