NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE FOR APIC
Summary
This report aims to present the geographical scope of the network of Asia Pacific
International College, followed by the logical design of the newly created branch at Sydney
and talks about the virtualization methodologies in cloud computing. After providing a
graphical representation of the global reach of the institute’s network, a brief description is
given after which the report talks about the backbone devices required to implement such a
network as also the segmentation of the network and then lists the uses and current
implementations. Thereafter the logical design for the Sydney branch of APIC is suggested
with the three-layer hierarchical network diagram following which the network requirements
are discussed as well as type of IP and the method of IP addressing before mentioned detailed
subnet calculation in a tabular format. The report then talks about virtualization in cloud
computing where it suggests the two leading cloud service providers and discusses the
techniques of virtualization. Then after talking about dynamic scaling recommendations are
given and the report ends with concluding notes.

Introduction
This report analyses and discusses the geographical scope of the network of Asia
Pacific International College, followed by the logical design of the network of the newly
created branch at Sydney and talks about the virtualization methodologies in cloud
computing. After providing a graphical representation of the global reach of the institute’s
network, a brief description is given after which the report talks about the backbone devices
required to implement such a network as also the segmentation of the network and then lists
the uses and current implementations. Thereafter the logical design for the Sydney branch of
APIC is suggested with the three-layer hierarchical network diagram following which the
network requirements are discussed as well as type of IP and the method of IP addressing
before mentioned detailed subnet calculation in a tabular format. The report then talks about
virtualization in cloud computing where it suggests the two leading cloud service providers
and discusses the techniques of virtualization (Yang et al. 2016). Then after talking about
dynamic scaling recommendations are given and the report ends with concluding notes.
Problem
Asia Pacific International College (APIC) has set up a new branch at Sydney where
the building has 8 floors. Each of the floors require 115 IP connections. Hence the primary
network to the branch needs must be broken into 8 subnets for ensuring effective and
efficient network access in every floor of the building. It also needs to be ensured that the
branch can connect to other branches of APIC, as well as access cloud services to share
company resources and services from all locations. For this, the required virtualization
techniques of cloud services are to be discussed with respect to requirements of APIC.
