Similar to the work of network and computer systems administrators, network systems and data communications analysts work with Local Area Networks (LANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs), network segments, and internet as well as intranet structures. However, rather than maintaining and supporting such computer-related systems, they are responsible for analyzing, designing, testing, and evaluating them.

To perform their tasks, analysts pursuing computer networking careers study and analyze existing networks and develop models and plans in order to make the necessary recommendations for hardware and software. Often, they work with telecommunications specialists in order to provide the best possible recommendations given the possibilities and available equipment.
