Introduction
The report is prepared for Booksforyou for the upgradation of the current
information system from the manual system. The main aim of the development
of the new information system is to gain competitive advantage in the current
market and increase the efficiency of the current business process. An evaluation
is made on the current hardware device used by the network and the scope of
upgradation of the information system. The requirement of the client is
evaluated for identifying the hardware device that can be reused for the
development of information and the data system for the company. A network is
designed for the organization that helps in identifying the network device
hardware and software that are needed for the development of the network
solution and the interconnection between the branches of the organization. The
new hardware devices that are needed to be purchased for the upgradation of
the system is evaluated along with the need of outsourcing and contracts for the
implementation of the new system. The protocols and technology that is used for
configuration of the network device is also demonstrated in the report. The
network is developed such that a new store can be opened in a different location
without modifying the framework of the system.
Project Scope
The scope of the project for the development of new information and data
system for Booksforyou are given below:
 To develop a new network framework for connecting the two offices
located at a distance of 1000 meters
 To create different subnet for the different floors of the building according
to the different departments of the organization.
 To replace the old desktop workstation with laptop in office 1 and with new
desktop in office 2.
 Installation of two new servers for management of expansion of the
current business and create a database for recording the company
information [6].
 To install wireless access point in each of the floor for enabling the user to
connect their wireless device and enabling them to access internet from
their wireless devices.

INTERNETWORKING TECHNOLOGIES
 To use redundant network device for increasing the availability of the
network and allow the user to reach different parts of the network
 To identify the cable that is needed for interconnecting the network device
and allow sufficient bandwidth for sending and receiving data packets in
the network.
Project Hardware and Software Requirement
For the upgradation of current information and data system the following
hardware devices are needed to be installed such that a scalable and efficient
network solution is developed.
Database Server
It is used for storing the organizational information and eliminating the manual
system in the business for reducing the effort of the employees and enabling
access of information from remote location.
 Recommended Configuration Database servers:
 Processor - 4 x 4 CPU at 2.0 GHz [8]
 RAM - 16 GB
 Sufficient high speed storage and backup allocation.
 SCSI RAID Disk Array with a minimum of 100 GB free disk space (250 GB
or more is recommended).
RADIUS Server
The radius server is used for the management of remote authentication and
enabling a centralized authentication, authorization and accounting of the user
[4]. It is used by the organization for management of internet access to the user
connected in the organizational network.
 Processor - 2 or more logical cores
 HDD – 500 GB
 Operating System - Windows® 2016 data centre edition 32/ 64-bit OS are
supported
 RAM: 4 GB
WEB Server
