Introduction
The proposal is about the deployment of the IT network at the medical center in which the
medical center wants to open a new branch in another city. The current network is based on the
LAN connection in which the access of the servers are limited. This report will described the
core functional information about the deployment of the network and synchronized the
information at one data center which can control the cost of the services as the existing branch of
the medical center is having local database server to which the access is only limited to the area
of the branch whereas the business required the more vast access to connect with the systems.
Background
The current network system of the medical center is based on the wired connection and the
Macintosh computer systems which are comparatively fast than the windows based computer
system, the current network is based on the giga bit fibre connection which makes the complete
connection between the systems and the networks to ensure the connectivity of the computers
with the database server in which the information about the 5500 clients are stored. There are
also the data about the patients who will be existing in the medical center. The current structure
of the medical center is for the limited number of users who will be managing the bookings on
daily basis.
The system access is available for a certain local area.

The existing network is not efficient enough for the operational management and hence, cost-
effective measure is necessary for the enhancement in the security and othwer factors of the
organization. The present network is not very secured and thus, the transformation needs to be
capable of restoring the security of the dsata and information being exchanged over the network.
The manual input data and information needs to be manipulated and transformed with an online
services. One of the major issue is based on the data security in every forum such as the existing
system is based on the one server where the data about the 5500 clients has been stored can be
crashed at any moment as the local databases cannot get the load more than the capacity.
Problem Statement
The existing system of the medical center is limited for the users and the access is also limited ,
the company management face the issues in the monitoring as well as the clients also have to
spend a lot of time for the booking which is based on the software which only work in limited
area. The current system will not be enough in the case if the company wants to open a new
branch of the medical center whereas the accessibility will be more complex and the workflow
would be managed by the existing systems.
The current network of the system is based on the wired connection and if the second branch also
integrates the services of same system, then it would not be able to manage the complete
workflow of the organization that is why the management of the medical center should have to
upgrade the services which enables the users to get register. Also the services of the online
bookings and the appointments should be integrated for the service optimizations.

Aims and Objectives
The aims and the objectives of the proposed network system is to initialize the complete
infrastructure which will be managing the complete workflow of the system to ensure the proper
quality of the services of the medical center. There should be a data center from the both
branches will be having the access to the servers. The clients found it difficult to get the
bookings and the appointments, the proposed system will be having an online web interface
where the users can select the branches, see the timings of the consultants, and make their
bookings at the given time that would be time saving for the client as well.
Deployment of new system
The proposed system should be based on the complete virtualization where every operating
system will be supporting the system in manner to meet the increased needs and demands.
The VOIP (Voice over Internet protocol) or a specific video conference can be installed for
enhancing the communication between the different branches. Quality of the service is most
important factor in case of video streaming that is the broadband companies have optimized the
wireless services such as the integration of WiMAX services which specifically allocate more
bandwidth to the video conference session. In this research the integration and the simulation of
WiMAX would also be discussed and the video frame algorithms will be implemented to
calculate the efficiency of the video streaming overlays based on the given bandwidth (Khan,
2006).
BYOD can be implemented withint the existing system for enhancing the functioning and
delivery of the project operations.
