- Describe possible networks that might be used to support her business needs
- Explain at least two possible approaches to managing her data for easy access and security

Include introduction and conclusion
The outcome of this effort should provide a list of computer related items to run a small business with enough detail (brand, model, version, size, quantity, etc) for Mary to purchase. Mary also needs to know why these items are necessary, what criteria was used to select these items so in the future she can use this information to expand her small business.
Do not discuss any basic concept like how hardware, operating system, router, encryption, LAN, WLAN, WAN, VPN, etc work unless there is something special or specific about them pertaining to Mary's business. No text book/wikipedia definitions!
