Recommended: Network physical design

At the core of any successful business is a functioning, well-organized network. The design of that network can be a daunting task for even the most skilled of Information Technology and Networking Professionals. To make that task more manageable it’s easier to divide it up into the key components needed to implement a successful network design. In this proposal we will go through those key areas and understand the needs of Worldwide Advertising Inc. and some of the suggested solutions specific to the organization.

Deployment and Server Editions

Server Editions

WAI is a relatively small sized company in regards to IT needs and specifically when it comes to determining the Windows Server 2012 edition that is appropriate. It’s our recommendation that WAI purchase the Standard Edition of Windows Server 2012. This edition may limit the number of virtual servers to only two instances but the cost is roughly one eighth the cost of the datacenter edition. The virtual server limitations can be resolved in a more cost effective way for the organization.

Server Equipment and Roles

As far as physical equipment is concerned we recommend just two installations. The first installation should be at the home office in Los Angeles and the other at the satellite office in New York. Although there are only two physical locations those machines will be expected to perform a variety of tasks. The various functions a server provides are called roles. “A server role is a set of software programs that, when they are installed and properly configured, lets a computer perform a specific function for multiple users or other computers within a network” (Microsoft, 2013).

For the most part people understand that a server hold informati...

  • Corporate Network Management

    1882 Words  | 4 Pages

    Corporate Networks in organisations can be complex structures that “requires a great deal of attention” (Clemm 2007). Even small companies can have quite complex networks that are a considerable investment to the business. The notion that corporate network management is a cost to a business rather than a continual beneficial investment is a naive assumption that requires further investigation to the benefits that network management brings. Clemm (Clemm 2007) states in his text that the ultimate goal of network management “is to reduce and minimize total cost of ownership”, improving operational efficiency and lowering cost. Clemm (Clemm 2007) also notes that “Network Management is not just related to cost and quality”, which will be an continual concept presented throughout the report. The report will address key issues with corporate network management and ultimately argue and justify that corporate network management must be seen as a positive benefit to the business and not as a continual expense. The supporting articles will also provide sound evidence that networking is crucial to a business’s processes and production which can be seen from the OpenSSL Heartbleed Security vulnerability fiasco (Nieva 2014) or the QANTAS Amadeus system failure (Heasley 2012).
