3ANALYSIS OF THE NETWORK ARCHITECTURE OF A HOSPITAL
Introduction
Due to the need for addressing the increase in allotting health care in hospitals, the
increasing concern for adopting a strong network is a necessity. This is the main cause for
strengthening the network of a hospital in terms of security and reliance. As such, the need for
network infrastructure and information technology is also a concern and many hospitals are
reinventing their network infrastructure. This report includes a discussion about the development
of a new network infrastructure for a hospital. Moreover, this report also includes a discussion of
the general resource and requirements that will be used. Lastly, this report presents various risks
and mitigation strategies that will be utilized for the architecture.
Discussion
This section discusses the main contents of the report.
Identification and analysis of the requirements
The main objective of this report includes the deployment of a new network
infrastructure for a hospital that will be effective in addressing to the needs of the
communication. This includes deployment of the dual MAN (metro area network) and the SnMP
tool (Simple network management protocol) which helps in efficient network management
(Mandl et al., 2014). The various centers in the healthcare facility will be connected by using the
Dual-MAN network. This will be made by taking connections from service providers who will
be addressing the faulty issues or other problems associated.
Another requirement to consider is wired and wireless access to the system. This will also
be addressed for utilizing mobile devices. Network access points and quality of service balancing
