The Corporation is moving to new quarters. They will occupy space in three buildings in
a new office park. Each of the three buildings has two floors with 40 employees in each
building. There are four networked laser printers located on each floor. Each floor has a
cabling closet which means that all computers are within 75 meters of the closet. (lrtro
cable run greater thartT5 meters). Obviously, no wires or cables can be run between
buildings.
Building 3 is the technical building and contains a computer control center on the first
floor and all the servers are housed in this control center. Security, speed and fault
tolerance are major priorities in the control center.
Many employees are required to do extra work after hours so they would like to be able
to access the network from home.
Management is willing to spend what is necessary to accomplish these goals but the
budget is not unlimited.
You will hand in:
1. An overview of the network. A one page or less description of the proposed
network.
2. A drawing (block diagram) of the proposed network on one page.
3. A justification of the various technologies you selected including the technical
reason behind your choices.
