How to design a LAN network
Hello there, i would like to get some help for the solution on design a
LAN network for a company which have the following situation : (the
design must suite it present and future need)
Company B have a main site on the outskirts of the city, with an
area of 6 areas, but, also have a small design office out of the city,
about 1.5 miles away. In addition they have 10 subsidiary firms within
the county which treat Company B as their headquarter(HQ).
Information on the Company B HQ is as follows:
1) There are many PCs throughout the site, but stock control etc, is on
a mainframe computer.
2)The office block has 40 people with a variety of admin duties,
including accounts, typing centre, a pay dept and credit control. New
computers are required for this block.
3)The executive block has 11 offices, each with their own PC, and 3
secretary's terminals. There are 44 remote point of sales terminals
which require access to a data base for prices, stock control and
transactions.
4)The supply dept have 15 PCs which do all the stock control and some of
the stock movement (admission/retrieval) is "robotised" and is computer
controlled. The stock is held in 6 separate buildings (plumbing, wood,
etc).
5)There are 6 different workshops (eg. Making double glazing and kitchen
units) which have no computer facilities, however, it is a
progressive firm and are intending to bring the workshops in line with
the rest of the organisation.
6)There are teams of designers who have their own office, (eg. For
kitchens, glazing and building extensions) and they use advanced CAD
packages: they require to communicate plans, etc regularly, to the
relevant workshops.
7)The subsidiaries rely on communications with the HQ for accountancy
facilities, and the data base for prices and stock records as well as
the design capabilities. As a side issue, the firm have some security
video cameras on site and as they have proved a success, they intend to
have the cameras throughout the site, and viewed/recorded in a central
control room. There is, also, an extensive security system wired
throughout the location.
8)Please include the benefits/drawbacks of each. The interconnection
with the subsidiaries is not part of the task but, clearly must be
considered.
Thank you and hope to hear from you a.s.a.p
From,
Rebecca
