LAN deployment is great for teams working in close proximity, as it allows for efficient collaboration and data sharing. It can also simplify software updates and maintenance.
In some situations, where an IT team is responsible for the installation of the SQL instance, the IT team will need SQL Management Studio to designate permissions to users. If an administrative IT team installs the SQL instance, by default, they will be considered the first user and required to designate permissions using SQL Management Studio.
Small to Medium Teams: LAN deployment is well-suited for small to medium-sized teams working in the same office. It facilitates real-time collaboration, data sharing, and centralized management.
Data-Centric Projects: Projects that involve heavy data analysis and sharing within a team can benefit from LAN deployment, ensuring that everyone has access to the same data source.
