Network Design
Companies have issues when designing a network that provides access to data and information in a safe and secure environment. A small retail chain store Kudler Fine Foods sells various products and is upgrading the network to monitor and secure information. Kudler Fine Foods has three locations and needs to communicate data quickly so that customer’s accounts are updated and stores can manage inventory. The central network server is located at the home office in La Jolla, California. Kudler has two other locations in Del Mar and Encinitas, California that has a high volume of data that should be available and backed-up daily. The company is updating the network so that data transfers faster and computers are available to process transactions and save incoming data. The company is also upgrading the network so that when additional stores are built in the future communication of data will not slow down. Kudler faces challenges that includes redundancy in the network, loss of data, viruses, hackers, and a backup connection. Each store will maximize efficiency of how computers communicate by installing a WAN (wide area network), LAN (local area network), or WLAN (wide local area network).
The company is upgrading to a Cseries aggregation service router as a WAN solution. The router delivers many advantages such as high performance, integrated software enabled services, and software redundancy on non-redundant hardware. The Cisco ASR 1000 series includes Cisco IOS XE Software that provides separation of the control and data planes, software redundancy, hardware redundancy, modular Cisco IOS XE software to facilitate in-service software upgrade, scalable services embedded in the processor or at wire speeds from 2.5 Gbps to 100 Gbps (n.d.). The WAN allows the three stores to communicate so that data will transmit quickly to each location so that the stores receive and view data within seconds the network transfers information to the main server.
