SCOPE OF WORK
The work that will be performed will include the design and installation of a fully switched star network. This includes the installation and setup of all the network devices, cabling and interfaces but may be limited to workstations, devices, servers, switches, routers, racks and all related software.
NETWORK SCOPE
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.
OBJECTIVES
Secure service: The main objective of this network is to provide secure administrative computing service to DesignIT. It is designed to be functionally and physically isolated from access by people not employed by DesignIT so as to minimize the risk of unauthorized use.
Scalability: The network design is scalable so that more network cable equipment can be added if needed and as funding becomes available without having to redo the installed network
Intended users: The users of the network will be 1 administrator, 2 full time employees and a receptionist.
DESIGN FEATURES
Server Room
The server room shall be a locked room, properly vented and air conditioned where the servers’ switches, firewalls, and an un-interruptible power supply will be housed along with any other electronic interfaces such as telephone systems, cable tv, internet access point of entry.
1. Link to an internet connection
a. Modem
b. Firewall
2. 2 -12 port switches will allow for growth and provide adequate levels of security and speed
3. 1 Server – server 2008 Small Business Server
4. 1 Web Server – Microsoft lls Server
5. 1 File Server – Microsoft Server 2008
6. Wireless Access Point
7. Cable management system to keep cables neat and organized
8. Un-interruptible power supply allowing for a controlled shut down in the event of a power failure
