Analysis of the Network and Communication Systems of Jewell Instruments, LLC

The network consists hardware and software components and other components to keep the company safe. A common network that Jay’s company will need are routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, SANs, and Domain Name System (DNS). The router and switches will allow the systems to communicate. Jay needs to ensure that the routers have spare capacity after the deployment to cope with projected growth and usage. The switches will connect to the system within the network. Both running at capacity tend to induce escalating bottlenecks. This will affect how long it takes for the clients to submit messages to the servers on different networks, Jay needs to make sure he is up to date with the router and switch because it can cost greatly if he does not.

There are various types of equipment that the company should look for when considering this network. The first item to look at when considering equipment is the Operating system and software that we would need. Next, the group took into consideration the type of server the company needs to make this network a reality. Another thing that we looked at is the possibility of having ThinClients over regular desktops for all workstations. Of course, it was taken into consideration that some employees would not want ThinClients. So, we show the type of tower we plan to place into those spaces, along with any peripheral device for both. Then, we will look at the network devices that will go into each building that include switches, routers, repeaters, hubs, and wireless access points. Finally, the group will note guidelines for choosing a local ISP at each site. Each Item outlined helps to build a network based on the specifications given by the company.

Currently all the sites are still running 56K modems, this technology is outdated. This is technology is hindering the communication speed between each site. Having a high-speed connection is crucial to provide real time updates. These updates provide the profits made each day and the inventory sold so that those items can be restocked in real-time. These modems will be used as redundant system and a new Wide Area Network (WAN) will be created, each site will be setup with a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The WAN will connect all the WLANs together. This will boost the network speed of the WAN and improve the way employees communicate. The network will be able to support a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) for telephone

Networks are the essential Components of communication system. The systems are used to transmit and receive signals. Telecommunication is the interaction between two people or two points. By using PSTN, PABX, LAN and PSTN to send and receive the messages, it does not require any geographical locations (Dias, 2007). Once there is an understanding of the advantages can be identified the advanced communication system using the types of networks

Now that the Network design stage is complete, the team must now determine the hardware and software needed to bring the network design to life. As discussed the backbone of Kudler’s Fine Foods network will be a routed network with LANs and a WAN. IN this case the LAN or Local Area Network will be everything Kudler Fine foods have on the internal side of its routers and firewalls. The WAN or Wide Area Network will be everything in between the LANs at each one of the Kudler Fine Foods locations.

Riordan Manufacturing is in need of a new network, this plan will develop a network that will benefit the business, the employees and the customers in a manner that will provide all of them with a smooth operating experience as well as to future proof the entire network. The Network will handle all incoming and outgoing traffic for both the employees on the intranet, as well as the customers on the external internet web site. Quality of Service (QoS) will be implemented to assist in data tracking for use of the bandwidth to determine and plan how much bandwidth is needed and to determine where congestion

Kudler fine foods is looking to implement a new system that will allow them to be more efficient in their expansion. Their current network system architecture that Kudler uses is a setup of a 56K modem and a POS system that runs on an WIN9x that is connected to an Ethernet Network. The three locations use the same network setup that runs on Novell 4.11 server and have separate computer with Windows NT server, IIS 4 server and have separate computer with Windows NT server, IIS 4 and still uses dial up that all their computers link up to.

(Microsoft, 2009). The laptops will also have a wireless network interface card (NIC) installed. The wireless network cards will allow the computers to communicate with the other computers and server on the wireless star network by using a common communication language protocol called TCP IP. The TCP IP is not a solitary protocol when, in fact, it is several protocols. The client server network within wireless star topology will consist of one ZyXEL Prestige 660M D1 DSL modem (Dell, 2009). One Linksys Instant Broadband EtherFast Cable DSL Router (Linksys by Cisco, n.d.). Two netgear fs105 5 port Ethernet switches (Netgear, 1996-2009, and a Linksys wireless-G access (Linksys by Cisco, n.d.). RJ-45 cables will connect the Ethernet switches to the server and connect the Linksys wireless-G access point WAP54G (Linksys by Cisco, n.d.) To the Ethernet switches. The Linksys wireless-G access will connect the desktops, laptops, and printers to the network. The star topology accompanied with client server architecture and wireless local area network (WLAN) is well suited for Taylor and Sons Financial Consulting given that Taylor and Sons Financial Consulting will have

Worldwide Wires (“WW”) is a company that provides computer network and communications services around the globe. The company offers its services either directly to the customer or through a network of partners that are scattered around the globe. Their business model can be compared to that of a principal and an agent, with WW being the former and the partners being the later. The company and the partners enter into 5 year service agreements which give each side has their own rights and responsibilities. Below are just a few key elements of those rights and responsibilities:

Company stood to lose reputation and its manufacturing license. There could be damaging legal notices and lawsuits which can harm the company for some time.

DTL is reliant on the infrastructure established by Avisitel, to monitor, control, and sustain operations of distant distribution substations. Through the VPN networks or the wireless networks, DTL’s is able to ensure seamless operations of all of the power generating and distribution plants from its main headquarters in New Mexico.

Cisco Systems is one of the fastest growing companies in the world, selling devices that connect computers to the Internet and to other networks. Cisco’s products are being replaced continuously, so extensive training of employees and customers is needed. Cisco recognizes that every member of its team, since the employees until

The trade school in the Springfield region has developed and implemented a WAN link to integrate with all sites as follows: Worchester, Boston, Sacramento and Los Angeles, for better communication purposes. The expansion of their networks has come with some difficulties in communicating from one region to the other, due to their IP address scheme, leading configured networks are not functioning as they should. However, xACME wants to upgrade and exchange their network infrastructure to became more efficient and more productive for all users.
