Networking and Security

Following the purchase of a new headquarters building, H&S intend to relocate their administrative departments (Retail Department, Finance Department, Property Advertising Department, Personnel (HR) Department, IT Support Department, and the Mortgage Brokering Department) and build a new network infrastructure at the new site. Your company has been asked to submit a tender (in the form of a detailed report) in order to bid for the contract to design and build the network. This not only includes the network at the new site, but also recommendations for WAN replacement or upgrade, and a new standard network design and interconnection system for branches. Your report MUST be presented as follows:

1. Introduction. 2. Existing network problems. 3. New network design. This should be in 4 parts: • Design methodology used. • Headquarters office building network(s). • WAN recommendation and description. • A standard configuration for the company’s branches. 4. Conclusions. 5. References. 6. Bibliography (if necessary). 7. Appendices (if necessary) containing supporting documentation (e.g. details of suppliers / services).
