Project Part 2: Types of Equipment 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 Operating System
The best operating system for this company running on thin clients would be Linux. Some of the advantages Linux are the cost. There is zero cost to download and maintain the Linux system. Not only is Linux free to download on multiple computers, there is also the advantage of updated or modern versions

For this, a product from a company known for its networking security products is selected. Choosing this device means that there is plenty of support for the firewall, and it should stay up to date on various attack strategies. The device is the Cisco ASA 5510. This device is a tried and tested Intrusion Prevention System. It offers much throughput from the ISP while still actively protecting the network (broadbandbuyer.co.uk, 2015). There are other firewall companies that have good reviews such as Barracuda and Dell, but Cisco products have always stood
1. Describe some reasons why Linux is installed on only a very small fraction of desktop computers. Are there particular categories of products or users who might see Linux as more appealing than conventional operating systems? Do you think Linux's share of the desktop market will increase? Why or why not?

System extension used to make an association between two different PC systems or to gap one system into two. LAN switch-gives a focal association between two or more PCs on a system.
In 2005, Campbell County operated 26 servers and 400 computers. As the County looked for ways to utilize technology to provide new and improved services, the number of servers has risen to 105, while end-user devices now hover around 630. As demand for more servers continued, it soon became apparent the server room at the Courthouse was no longer adequate for size or power requirements. Faced with the prospect of a difficult and expensive remodel, Administrative and Network staff proposed an alternative; rather than continue utilizing traditional “pizza box” servers, a strategic plan to migrate to virtual servers was created. Moving to virtual computing allowed ITS staff to administer a large number of servers much more efficiently. This move

I comunicated ideas and points with my group during the lab and during the poster to better understand it. I introduced ideas that would make the poster look nicer with better sticky notes that were colorful and i talked to them about wh was doing what for the poster so everyone had something to do and no one was left with
While the name alone is catchy in itself, this new emerging wireless internet service is rapidly becoming a popular alternative to more higher priced but similar ISP services now available. In keeping with the volatile, roller-coaster environment currently taking place world-wide, one company seems intent in offering the masses what it perceives the public should have: a free alternative to current mega-carriers. This FreedomPop review hopes to shed more latest news on this new kid on the proverbial block.
The assignment given to the peer student for the second week said to give as much information on the subject of the tree structure directory and explain some of the strength and weaknesses associated with the application.It seems to me that you have given the peer students in the class a wealth of information on the tree structure and the concepts that may support the achievement and the function that which will be applied to the command prompt function and its usage.
When it comes to smartphones, people make choice which smartphones is suitable for them and, sometimes people look at who gives more feature. In this project, the populations is representing are Population 1 which is all iPhone users in Montclair State University and, Population 2 is all Samsung users in Montclair State University. The quantitative variable I will using is cost. I will compare this two major population iPhone vs. Samsung. Also, the I will use this variable cost because I will be comparing iPhone models like five se, six s, six s plus, seven and, seven plus to Samsung s six, s six edge, s seven edge, note five and note seven. This data will show; how much people spend money on this device.
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.
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
Ideally, each local office would integrate its computers with a LAN, so that all employees would be able to share information, and resources such as printers. In case there are multiple buildings in an office (like in the corporate office), each building would have its own LAN, and the LANs could be connected by a Backbone Network.
A firewall may also include a default gateway or a proxy server which helps to make network request on the behalf of a user. I will utilize Cisco-Linksys BEFSX41 EtherFast Cable/DSL Firewall Router (4-Port 10/100 Switch / VPN Endpoint) for this network. The device costs $150.
These important factors of something to think about include such factors as the topology and placement of hosts within the network, the selection of hardware and software technologies for the network setup, and the careful setup of each part within the network in order to make sure that an effective system is developed linking all user departments and smaller companies (owned by larger companies) to the main office.
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
