...select two backbone configurations and discuss which one you think is the better option for networks of today. Indicate why you think that planning an enterprise-level backbone can be such a challenging process. I think before going into details, we should understand what is backbone. After a lot of research, I came up this definition; a backbone is a means of connecting two or more LANs. It provides a transmission channel for packets being transmitted from one LAN to another. After connection to a backbone, a LAN may remain distinct or be merged with another. Backbone networks can be applied to a single building environment as well as to campus environments, where the backbone is used to connect LANs in different buildings. Parallel backbone: I think parallel back is the best worth it for any company. The additional cost of setting up a parallel backbone can be well worth the money. The design of this type of backbone consists of using two cables routed between the routers and switches. While there are additional initial costs of installing a parallel backbone, the benefits can quickly outweigh these costs. However if company wants to save some money, they can use distribute network. It consists of a number of connectivity devices connected to a series of central connectivity devices, such as hubs, switches, or routers, in a hierarchy. This kind of topology allows for simple expansion and limited capital outlay for growth, because more layers of devices can be added...

LAN Infotech is a small IT consulting company that specializes in IT projects and services. The company was first created when the owner first sold his shares from a company he helped form in New York called LAN Associates. Doing so, he was able to acquire all the small businesses the company was managing down in South Florida. He created LAN Infotech and started to provide professional IT services to the clients. The company grew from three employees in 2008 to at its highest of 25 throughout the years. Being in a highly competitive area where there are plenty of small managed service providers, it can be hard at times to gain and keep clients. So far LAN Infotech has been able to steadily grow and have also gained a lot of clients and business. Part of the success is credited to the engineers that have worked and currently work for the company. LAN Infotech has been featured in many local business magazines and has won numerous awards from partners such as Dell and Microsoft. But that’s not where the issue is, the issue is with the level of commitment from the engineers and the level of commitment from upper management, mainly the owner...

...Tech Partners Consulting www.techpartners.net.au SOEs – Standard Operating Environments The SOE concept explained in business terms Authored by Alan Pickering, Tech Partners Consulting September, 2003 Introduction The use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in organisations has gone well past the stage of being unique, novel and even technically difficult. Nowadays, the technology is readily available, thanks to the volume demand from commercial and residential market segments. Even so, there are benefits from adopting a Standards based approach to choosing and deploying ICT assets; and offering technology based IT services to customers. This white paper will provide a brief introduction to the philosophy of Standard Operating Environments, and will explain the likely benefits, costs and planning factors that relate to adopting an SOE approach. Background When desktop computing and Local Area Networks appeared in organisations in the 1980’s, they were small scale and of little immediate consequence. Being somewhat complex, and requiring some hands on technical skills, they were acquired in small quantities. The low cash costs meant they were often purchased ‘under the radar’ of senior management and IT teams. The practical use and popularity of PCs and LANs grew, to the point that some organisations recognized the need to account for the cost of assets and people’s time spent on support. Since then, industry analysts have studied the...
