computer knowledge so that they can excel in their professional field. The company
presently has a small training facility in the city of Perth that has two training rooms,
reception area, one meeting room, one staff room and one executive office. Wiz Train is
growing with expansion in the number of clients and hence there is a need to develop their

expand the facility by addition of two training rooms and one separate staff room for
trainers. This report focuses on the business case of expanding the existing facility so as to
ensure profitability and smooth running of the business processes within the organization.
This project relates to expansion of the existing training facility of Wiz Train so as to meet
the increase in number of clients. The aim of this project is to design a network based on the
existing network infrastructure so that the two additional training rooms and one room for
staffs can be accommodated within the existing facility. The hardware specifications and
operating system that are used on the server are listed as below:
Hardware:
CPU: Intel Core i7 Quad Core 2.0 GHz Processor
RAM: 16 GB.
2x 2 TB Hard Disk
256 GB SSDs
DVD ROM Drive
