...Network Consultation for DesignIT By Salim Usman CIS 175 Professor Mohamad Abedin 6/18/2014 SCOPE OF WORK The work that will be performed will include the design and installation of a fully switched star network. This includes the installation and setup of all the network devices, cabling and interfaces but may be limited to workstations, devices, servers, switches, routers, racks and all related software. NETWORK SCOPE The proposed network is designed to serve DesignIT which consist 56’x36’ office space, 4 cubicles, 1 office, 1 server room, 1 receptionist desk and 1 conference room. OBJECTIVES Secure service: The main objective of this network is to provide secure administrative computing service to DesignIT. It is designed to be functionally and physically isolated from access by people not employed by DesignIT so as to minimize the risk of unauthorized use. Scalability: The network design is scalable so that more network cable equipment can be added if needed and as funding becomes available without having to redo the installed network Intended users: The users of the network will be 1 administrator, 2 full time employees and a receptionist. DESIGN FEATURES Server Room The server room shall be a locked room, properly vented and air conditioned where the servers switches, firewalls, and an un-interruptible power supply will be housed along with any other electronic interfaces such as telephone systems, cable tv, internet access point of entry. 1.

...DesignIT Network Consultation Proposal Strayer University CIS175 Introduction to Networking Professor June 17 Network Consultation Proposal In order to design and deliver a reliable and secure network for DesignIT, many critical factors must be considered such as the network topology and architecture, the selection of hardware and software components designed to meet the client’s requirements, and also appropriate security services. DesignIT has decided to upgrade from a temporary workplace to a permanent office space. The new space measures 56’ x 36’ giving DesigntIT over 2000 square feet of dedicated space. This new space contains four cubicles, one executive office, one server room, one reception desk, and one conference room and allows DesignIT to hire two full time designers and a receptionist. As stated in the Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by DesignIT, the design must incorporate the following considerations: * Relocation of three servers configured as follows: * One (1) Web Server – Microsoft IIS Server * One (1) File Server- Microsoft Server 2008 * One (1) Server – Server 2008 Small Business Server Furthermore, DesignIT has stated the design must also include the following deliverables: * High speed internet access * Firewall * Antiviurs/Malware protection * Six (6) computers * Three (3) color laser printers * Wireless access for portable devices A critical first step in designing...

...Network Consultation Introduction to Networking June 19, 2016 Network Design DesignIT has requested the consideration of all interconnected devices and wiring, along with speeds, for best performance. I recommend using a Local Area Network (LAN) design to efficiently fulfill this request. According to Agarwal & Tayal (2009), “The main reason for designing a LAN is to share resources such as disks, printers, programs, and data. It also enables the exchange of information.” Using a server based LAN, DesignIT can manage its six computers through by accessing the main computer from the three servers which can be located in the server room as indicated on the design layout. There are several advantages of LAN such as: * It allows for a large number of users to access data from a single memory. * Files are stored on single memory. * The processing can be done by numerous of users simultaneously. * Low cost. * Resource sharing. * Every device can communicate with any other device. * Independent devices are interconnected with high degree Compared to other area networks, the LAN is ideal for being used in a small area such as an office building. LAN has the lowest error rates, highest speed in transmission and uses the most inexpensive equipment such as Ethernet and token rings. Network Architecture DesignIT is a small business that is expanding and requires additional workstations. As the company continues to grow, there is a natural expectation...
