SCU needs your expertise to plan a network upgrade. They have bought an old school with an old network which will need to be replaced. It has four buildings each with a Server 2008 and a hub/switch network. The buildings cannot network between each other. Each building has 30 computers. These buildings are located 200km from the various SCU campuses. They need to be linked to the existing SCU network. This is a case for understanding distance remote situations for WAN. Each building has a new function with SCU. One building will be Macs for multimedia. One building will have Programmers and the other building Business students. The fourth building has the teachers and admin. Each building needs to connect to SCU. The teachers and students each form communities of users with different needs and loads on the network. The new school complex will be known as SCU Design School. It will teach new product design using 3D printers. It needs wireless for the students to check websites while sitting outside. Important objectives: The two main objectives are a modern network and to ensure that the students in the school have access to the best computer facilities. To achieve this, the school has business goals:  Improved communications,  Spare no expense  Protect our information  The classrooms will attract more students  Be excellent in technology They also the school has technical goals  The current network will be upgraded and/or redesigned to a modern network to meet student and teacher needs,  Scalability – remember they plan to double student numbers in size  Availability Wireless network access is available in all classrooms as well as some outdoor areas for teachers and students,  Students have access to study resources from school and home,  Network performance must be high  Reliability No single point of failure  Multimedia classrooms and high speed videoconferencing facilities for the design classes. What you need to do You are required to design the network you would recommend and how it would be configured. Remember the goal of building a new network is that it will support the schools needs for the next five years. Your recommendations are to be submitted as a formal report containing your analysis of the present situation, and your recommended network solution. As part of your report, you are required to: Executive summary Explain why your design meets the business and technical goals  Analysis of user requirements  Description and analysis of the current network,  Network Design Proposed Suggest a type of network architecture that is suitable for the organisation. You will need to identify all the circuits (cabling), network hardware necessary to build the network(s) you are proposing and to justify your choice, i.e., you will need to explain the function of the hardware and network choice in your solution, and  You will also need to include logical/physical network diagrams for the current and proposed network. Your report will include the above headings. You will also need to provide a layout of your high school showing where your network devices are located. Presentation and referencing are important. Remember that it is a school and access to the internet will need to be controlled and some sites blocked. You will need to make a number of assumptions regarding the existing organisational structure including management hierarchy, software, hardware, circuit, user communities and network use patterns , etc. which will need to be documented in the appropriate sections of your report. Your report must also include explanations justifying the design decisions you have made. To help with these assumptions the following information is available: SCU IT Platform: Server 2012 Microsoft Office/Adobe Cisco hubs/switches/routers Hosted Messaging to contact students/teachers Students form communities of users based on their subjects. Some do multimedia design while others do less computer intensive subjects. Each lab needs a suite of software which matches the interests of these communities of students. Assume one computer building is multimedia, one building is programming and the third building is business studies. Hint Work out the needs for each of these communities of users.
