I am looking to better understand my target audience for two upcoming projects (one for a network architect and one for a network engineer). Any help to better understand the similarities and differences would be much appreciated.

Architect would design the network and engineer would make the network? I’m not sure.
Create a video blog…instantly.
The way I understand it is that an architect designs networks and infrastructure but does not take into account various manufactures and models of components. Their work stops at the network diagram. On some occasions, if the architect is a business partner with a vendor like IBM or Dell… they will incorporate those products into the diagram. Again, its only on paper…
The network engineer can do both. The engineer is a person versed enough in the various technologies to not only put it to paper in a diagram but also make that paper a reality. This includes not just distributing the product but also setting it up and configuring it as well.
