Lan Consulting Plan

This is a network proposal to connect six computers and two printers. The purpose of the project is to ensure the six employees can be able to; share files electronically print to both laser printers access each other's calendars and share an Internet connection.

On the other hand one single employee can take care of Large corporations an professional users . (One single person can be responsible of 90% of the companie’s revenue) So , we have two solutions : first , to find the best employee and put him in charge of the professional users and large corporate accounts and use the other 9 employees to cover DIYs . The second solution is to make a cost-benefit analysis to determine if having 9 employees that generate only 10% of the companie’s revenue is profitable (Pareto principle) . So , we think that the company should let go to the DIYs clients and maybe use this employees to find new bigger customers. On this manner, the company would focuss only in professional users and large corporate accounts , this would generate much more profit and reduce cost of unnecessary employees and time.

The church required that the workstations be replaced as they are no longer supported by the hardware manufacturer. The workstations operating Windows XP can no longer receive a software patch and are no longer supported by Microsoft. These workstation are extremely vulnerable to attack. Wireless connectivity through the church campus was a requirement as the church was to be able to access information from multiple locations. Setting up hardware to maintain and secure all data and information. The sponsor liked our team’s suggestion to migrate them from a peer to peer network environment to a server domain environment. With all of these upgrades and updates, network security needed to be addressed so the installation and setup of a firewall became a requirement. The

Routers and switches will be utilized to route network signals to all areas of this large network. Telephony systems will be introduced to serve the VOIP located at each location to assist with communication needs. Wireless technologies will also be needed to assist with mobility and other devices such as printers, laptops, fax machines, etc. Lastly, a physical firewall will be enforced at each location to protect the network from internal and external intruders.

Item Name: Router, Switch 1, Switch 2, Switch 3, Wireless AP1, Wireless AP 2, Wireless PC1, Wireless PC2, Wireless PDA, Network PC 1, Network PC 2, Network PC 3, File Server, Web Server, Intranet.

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.

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.

Riordan manufacturing has requested its information technology areas of telecommunication and network s he focus is on security and efficiency that Riordan manufacturing has encountered. The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method includes analysis needs and availability of

The networking of the system is recommended after a system study and the fact that there has been a 100% expansion of the demand for the system- from 5 to 50 have been noted. It is also shown that as of now there are machines that are stand alone with windows 7 operating system. The task is to provide a network connectivity that would provide direct connections between the employees, and be centralized in the operation. This essentially requires the creation of a network. This means that all the computers must be installed with a network card and this would be the case with windows 7. The question then comes is if there must be windows networking or use other protocols. We can also partly use the most modern practical solutions.

Main Building – will require 7 computer stations with the most recent version of Operating System to ensure compatibility and networking capabilities between each stations and the ability to communicate between the two locations. They will require three servers, one for web hosting, one for database management and one for emergency failure of any one server. These stations should be networked to communicate with one another for proper data connection especially in the event of any one computer station crashing. Each work station will need to be linked to each server for web hosting and data backup. The cabling used for inside the main building should be 100Base TX cat 5 UTP, for Wi-Fi and WLAN with guest access that is highly secure and reliable, we recommend a device that is capable of supporting up to 15 different users with 450 Mbps. There needs to be 4 printer services in this building. Printer 1 should have

The company’s servers and most of their computers were purchased over a decade ago and are creating issues with the newer properties thin clients ability to communicate with the network. ULH’s servers are located within their headquarters in California and are still operating on Windows NT 3.51. The company wants to increase the manageability and performance of the network in addition to being able to infinitely upgrade the network as growth requires. Currently, ULH is in a position where their IT network is creating a bottle neck to their growth. The network was functioning sufficiently when they just had 2 properties all operating on the same outdated operating systems, however acquisition of newer properties has created many issues with network functionality.

For example, the Sales and Marketing Division has a desktop computer for each of the account representatives. All of these computers are connected to a small local area network (LAN) that serves only the Sales and Marketing Division. The

The proposed network is designed for the UMUC new building in Rockville. This new building will have some administrative offices, lecture rooms, library, and computer labs with an open Wi-Fi. This new building will have total six computer labs that will be used for instruction. Each of these labs will have 25 computers, 23 student computers and one instructor computer, one server in the closet and in addition to the six computer labs, there will also be a Student Computer Lab that will provide computer access to students for doing their own purpose like homework. In Student Computer Lab there will be 30 computers and a server in the closet. There will be 10 computers for student’s use and 5 computers for Library staff in the library so they can access to the library resources for staff use, with the exception of the admissions office, which will have five computers. There will be six class room which will have a computer for instructor’s use. Finally, there will be 7 offices in the building and each of these offices will have one computer. There will be two server rooms, one on the first floor and another one on the second floor. There should be at least 3 separate networks: Administrative, Instructional, and Public. All staff-accessed computers will be on the
