The 5-star company was two dedicated computer rooms. Each room contains the 10 computers and 1 printers. It currently having the 250 staffs. Most of the staffs are worked in production field. So, there is no need of computers. The computer room is placed in one building. Another building has the technical development (Oppenheimer, 2011). The Proposed network infrastructure provides the 20 computers for each room. The software programmers and web designers are using the computer rooms computers and printers. The 5-star company decided to create the virtual machines to be delivers online as well as their current machines. The production field has the 60 new computers to control and manage the 3D printers. The admin building also has the 60 new computers to manage the overall organization. The branch offices need to connect the wireless connection between the employees. It also requires the videoconferencing between the main office and branch offices (Kurose and Ross, n.d.). The proposed network infrastructure using the peer to peer network architecture to provide the secure network connection for a 5-star company. The Proposed network design was divided in to two types of network design such as logical and physical network design.
Physical Network Design
The Proposed network infrastructure physical network design is shown in below. It provides the overall network infrastructure for a 5-star company. The proposed network infrastructure provides the effective network connection for an organization. The Physical network design is display the physical structure of the network infrastructure (Hagan et al., 2016).
Logical Network Design
The Logical network design for proposed network infrastructure is shown in below. The logical network design provides the logical view of the overall network infrastructure (Sites.google.com, 2017). The Logical view of network design display the network device IP address and their subnet mask.
Network Components
The 5star company network design components are listed below.
- Cisco Routers
- Cisco Switches
- Cisco Firewall
- Cisco Wireless access point
- Cisco Server
- Cisco RJ45 connector
- Dell PC or computers
- Canon Printers
The Network components specification and functionality is discussed in below (NETworking, 2013).
Cisco 1900 Series Routers
The cisco 1900 series routers are used to provide the best application, voice and video application for an organization (Pjnetworks.com, 2017). It also provides the secure wireless connection. This router satisfies the 5star company business goals and technical goals. Because, it improves the voice and video quality and provides the availability and scalability of the network. It easily enhanced the wireless and security options on the network. It simultaneously run the more than one applications in the network. It provides the high WAN connectivity and secure connectivity. It integrated the application and security services. It delivers the virtualized applications and highly secure collaboration. It designed to meet the network applications and services. It offers the concurrent services. It optimizes the WAN connectivity with support for router integrated ad application acceleration through service module.
Cisco Catalyst 2960-48TC-S Switch
Cisco Catalyst switch is used to providing the high levels of network resilience. It provides the higher user productivity and business resiliency by using the maximum network up time (Tech.proact.co.uk, 2017). It has long product lifecycle and investment protection by supporting the various generations. It also provides the high operational consistency to standardize on a network platform and it is used to addresses the overall network deployment requirements. It easily integrating the network services by supporting the application aware convergence of data, video and voice on to a high and single manageable platform.
Cisco ASA 5510 Adaptive Security Appliance
The cisco firewall is used to comprehensive control and visibility. It provides the cloud drive and mobility productivity (Services, 2017). It protects the network asset on user networks. It securely delivers the network visibility and superior threat and great automation and advanced malware protection to reduce the complexity and cost. It mainly focused on balance security and effectiveness with security and productivity. It also provides the highly secure remote access on the user network.
Cisco UCS C220 M4 Rack Server
Cisco rack server is used to provide the superior performance and expandability for an organization. It is the most versatile. general purpose enterprise infrastructure and high density in the industry (Services, Computing and Servers, 2017). It securely delivers the world record performance for an organization It reduce the network work load including bare metal applications, collaboration and virtualization. It improves the socket application because it has dual intel Xeon v4 or v3 processors. It supports the PCle LAN and modular LAN on the network by using the virtual interface card on the server. It offers the maximum serviceability. availability and reliability. It helps to enable the end to end server visibility, control and management.
Cisco RJ45 Connectors
The cisco RJ45 cable is used to converting the ethernet cable into a rollover cable. It is designed as a replacement cable for use with various cisco routers including 1700, 800, 600 and 1600 series (M/F, 2017). It provides the reliable and durable performance.
