Executive summary
This paper will contain six sections. Specifically the paper will design a network for
Bethseda hospital in Australia. Bethseda is an independent hospital which is situated in Swan
River. The hospital began as a minor group of community-minded area residents who shared a
dream to create a big hospital in 1993. For 20 years, the hospital management has supported the
mission of the hospital to become one of the best hospitals in Australia. In 2013 the hospital, the
hospital celebrated 20 years of success. The hospital has used information technology to
implement its business operations. The hospital also has a website under the banner
bethseda.org.au. In addition, the hospital uses email services for each of staff member and with
more than one campus at different locations across Australia. Also, to support some of its
operations the organization has wireless network services within the hospital campuses, and
back-up servers to regularly backup its important documents and share files between its staff
members. The hospital wishes to open a new branch in one of the building located in Sydney city
Centre. The building has about eight floors where each floor has 30 rooms. As It specialist, this
paper will critically analyze the network design of Bethseda hospital and recommend the best
cloud providers that the organization can take advantage of.
Introduction
Bethseda is concerned in the elevation to its network systems. The present network
system support few specialized medical software tools and basic internet access. The network
users have complained about occasional downtime of the hospital network and the slow response
of the network especially at the peak access times. This has been brought about due to the
expansion of the network users. The hospital management would need to collect these issues
through network upgrade of their systems, but the hospital management is looking to increase

network security to be compliance with HIPPA standard and also improve productivity of its
employees. This proposal will include significant changes in the logical network design. In
addition, to the changes in logical design, this paper also includes changes in the IP addressing
scheme. These changes will provide greater security and reliability for all the network users of
the organization network. Along with a new logical design, the new design will open door for the
hospital to explore new possibilities in using the network as well as increase the overall network
productivity. The solution provided by this paper will provide the greatest benefit for Bethseda
hospital that the management has have ever hand. The estimated cost for network upgrade is
estimated to be under 900,000 dollars which takes into account the current network issues.
The project objectives
The main objectives of this paper is to upgrade the network of Bethseda hospital so as to;
 Accommodate the new Sydney branch
 Recommend the best network security for the hospital
 Improve the network speed and fault tolerance
 Provide more bandwidth to the new Sydney location and more bandwidth to the remote
clinics (AM Fremont, 2013, p. 57).
Geographical scope
Bethseda is a medium-sized hospital which is located in Australia. Currently the hospital
have about five hundred staff members who supports up one thousand patients on daily basis. In
addition the hospital carries critical patients’ data in the organization servers and on mainframe
hosts. Currently the hospital has one main hospital at Melbourne, and about four clinics. The
main hospital located in Melbourne is located into a four floors. The hospital plans to expand its
