LAN Consulting Plan
Yesterday I was hired by Taylor and Sons Financial Consulting set up a local area network with a firewall for a Windows® network. Taylor and Sons Financial Consulting is a medium-sized company that is physically located on the first three floors of one building. Taylor and Sons Financial Consulting have approximately 100 employees. For this task I will use a traditional systems development life cycle (SDLC) that consist of planning, analysis, design, development,, testing, implementation, and maintenance.
During the planning phase I was notified that there are 100 users, and 80 of those users will extensively use10 applications, upon analysis Taylor and Sons Financial Consulting determined that 10 of the employees are clerks and should have read-only access to the databases, and due to security risk a firewall will be installed.
The analysis contains the hardware, software, and other equipment that needs to be installed. The hardware that I recommended was 91 personal computers, 9 laptops for the management Taylor and Sons Financial Consulting management buyers will have the exclusive use of the laptops. Each personal computer and laptop will be equipped with a network interface card, and the personal computers will have a standard keyboard and mouse, and a 17-inch CRT monitor. The computers will be equipped with a 2.8 MHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, a CD-RW drive, and an 80 GB hard drive. I recommended that Taylor and Sons Financial Consulting purchase an ink-jet printer for each computer. I also recommended to Taylor and Sons Financial Consulting to purchase three wireless routers, three DSL modems, nine servers, a firewall, and 24 switch’s, six wireless access point’s. I recommended that Taylor and Sons Financial Consulting use the Microsoft Small Business office productive suite (Microsoft Windows, 2009) to handle the need of word processing, and the preparing of presentations as well as preparing spreadsheets.
