Assignment title: Management
Sheehan Marketing and Public RelationsThe networked computers that are used by Sheehan Marketing and Public Relations are cabled together with Cat-5 UTP Ethernet. The Los Angeles facility is composed of a separate room for the president, a reception area for the secretary, and a large open floor space for the rest of the staff. The total office is approximately 2,000 square feet. Three passive hubs connect all the computers together. The hubs are in the general office space. Wires connecting the computers to the hubs run along the perimeters of the wall and, in a few cases, cross floor space where staff frequently walk. Over the past two years, SMPR has acquired more clients who are involved in video and audio work. Currently, because these files do not transport well across the network, when someone needs access to a client's video or audio file, the person must physically access the file from the computer on which it is stored. The staff is finding it difficult to work cohesively as a team because only one person at a time can access a particular file. Also, the different branch offices need to be able to access resources remotely.Case Study QuestionsUsing the information just provided, answer the following questions.1. Focusing on the physical part of the Los Angeles network, research and prepare a report on the costs of upgrading a 24-computer network with Cat-5e UTP, NICs capable of 10/100 Mbps, and 3 active hubs. Include in your report the cost of a standard tool kit for yourself. Are there any problems with how the wiring is currently set up? If so, what do you plan to recommend? Don't forget to include in the report any labor costs for installing the new Cat-5 wiring. Assume you can hire a wiring technician for $40 an hour.2. Do you have any concerns with the level of documentation at SMPR? If so, what steps would you take to improve the situation and why?
