The Scenario
The Top Network Company is located in Sydney occupying a three floor building. The office
is divided into three teams working together. Each team namely Administration, Marketing
and Sales have their own requirements in terms of number of workstations. Administration
department employs 13 people, Marketing has 26 and Sales department has 39 people in it.
All employees need access to the internet, use the Email service, make data transfer with in
company network and connect to company servers. The company can be designed a mid-
sized organization.
Apart from workstations, the company will also need to connect its servers, printers and
other storage devices to the network for smooth operations.
The network design must also consider the addition of employees in each of its division as
company progresses. So sufficient provisions need to be made to make sure expansion is
smooth and doesn’t needs any major hardware upgrade.
