Introduction
AnyCompany Corporation is a small advertising company as their customer list increasing
and also they are demanding for video presentation in advertising media a review is made on
their existing IT resources. The required information is gathered by reviewing the available
information and a verbal interview is made with the manager. Since AnyCompany Corporation
is small company it has no appropriate IT department. A research is made after gathering these
required information. A propose computer system will be for each and every employee of
AnyCompany Corporation and a server is proposed that supports their FTP requirements.
Changes in the network infrastructure will be made with new architecture, the floor plan of
AnyCompany Corporation is given with the Visio software, and all the required setup of the
servers and computers for the employees in the company will be provided. After the
completion of the project a chart for filling the assignment will be provided. End devices such as
laser printers, scanners will be established in the network setup. All the systems in
AnyCompany Corporation supports windows 7, hence these operating system is not supported
for video development. A suitable network structure along with a printer with appropriate
speed and color will be implemented. All the necessary in-house services will be provided in
AnyCompany Corporation, for the connectivity in AnyCompany Corporation ISP will be
provided. Logical and physical installation of the network in AnyCompany Corporation is done
by using the Visio software. A scheme is provided for the network devices that are configured
through DHCP. A proper security plan will be implemented for the security purpose.

Project proposal
Goals
The goal is to satisfy the requirements of increasing number of customers with a more
interactive advertising media that includes presentations in video format and for the business
potential in this new market and have contracted you to survey the current IT resources and
deliver a recommendation that enables the organization to exploit this new market.
Objectives
The objective is to establish a network technology in AnyCompany Corporation to meet the
customer requirements and to take advantage of the new market. And to propose the physical and
logical layout of AnyCompany Corporation through Visio software and to provide reckless and easy
networking services in AnyCompany Corporation to meet their customer requirements. The necessary
in-house services should be made by ISP for communicating all of the members in the company for
24hrs. A well secured security services should be provide for safety purpose.
Methodology and timetable
Physical Layout
The physical medium was used wireless networks it means to the arrangement of equipment
for reaching the wireless clients. It has three types of configuration peer to peer connection,
multipoint to multipoint connection and point to multipoint connection (Seo and Schmidt,
2013) (Davis, 2012).
Peer To Peer Connection
Point-to-point interfaces or peer to peer connections regularly gives internet connection
wherever the access is not usually available. To achieve web connection alternate uses the
connection to achieve the Internet, this is unique side of a point-to-point linking will have a
Web association. For illustration, AnyCompany Corporation might consume a rapid edge hand-
off or VSAT association in the center of lands, however, may not bear the association cost for an
essential assembling just off the grounds. On the off chance that the principal building has an
unhindered viewpoint of remote site, a point-to-point association can be used for the purpose
to interface the two connections together (Heeks and Stanforth, 2014). This connection can
expand or even displace current dial-up joins. With genuine reception apparatuses

furthermore, strong viewable pathway, hard point-to-point connection gives in the excess of
around thirty to thirty five kilometers are possible (Kitching, 2016) (Dabibbi and Guirguis,
2015).
Point to Multipoint Connection
The most habitually knowledgeable arrangement format is point-to-multipoint. At whatever
point a few nodes are communicating with an essential question of accessing the network, this
is a point-to-multipoint connection. The commonplace circumstance of a point-to-multipoint
the arrangement is the application of a wireless communication point that gives an association
to a few portable workstations (Sun and Li, 2011). The manageable PCs do not communicate
with individually in a specific manner, yet the connection must be in the possibility of the entry
point with a specific end goal to utilize the system (Hongwei, Qingmin and Yongfei, 2014).
Multipoint to Multipoint Connection
The third sort of framework configuration is multipoint-to-multipoint, which is
excessively insinuated, making it impossible to as a uniquely delegated or work organize. In a
multipoint-to-multipoint arrange, there is no central master. Every center point on the
framework passes on the movement of each extraordinary as required and all center points talk
with each other clearly.It is also termed as ad-hoc or mesh (Gassmann, Widenmayer and
Zeschky, 2012).
The upside of this framework configuration is that paying little heed to the likelihood
that none of the centers are to the extent of a central access point, they can, regardless, talk
with each other. Awesome work composes executions are self-retouching, which suggests that
they, therefore, distinguish guiding issues and fix them as required. Growing a work sort out is
as clear as including more center points. In case one of the center points in the "cloud" happens
to be an Internet entry, by then that affiliation can be shared among most of the clients (Zhang,
Li and Xu, 2014).
Logical Layout
Since AnyCompany Corporation is a small company, the network is designed for 10-15
users. The proposed network will have file server, laser printer and disaster recovery. For LAN
8

connection coax cables is used mainly cat6 cables is used which is a standardized twisted pair
cable. Cat6 cable provides higher signal to noise ration and lower crosstalk and its suits for 10-
gigabite. It also connects with Ethernet (Tekin and Liu, 2013). LAN have IEE 802.11n for higher
coverage of the Wi-Fi. The following diagram gives the floor plan for AnyCompany
Corporations.
