Consider the following scenario:
Your Learning Team has been hired to set up a local area network with a firewall for a Windows® network at a medium-sized company, Taylor & Sons Financial Consulting. The network will have 100 users and 10 applications used extensively by 80 of the employees. Ten of the employees are clerks and should have read-only access to the databases generated by the applications. The owner is worried about security and wants a firewall installed. The company is physically located on the first three floors of one building.
Develop a local area network plan for Taylor & Sons Financial Consulting, including the layout of the network, user and group access, and security.
Create a boardroom-quality Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation of 10-12 slides detailing your plan.
Be sure to include flowcharts of the physical and logical network and an explanation of why you would choose to develop the network in the format you select.
Include details regarding the technology needed for your plan and what benefits that technology would have.
Include speaker notes to elaborate on the key points of your plan.
The Local Area Network for Taylor & Sons Financial Consulting plan and presentation are due in Week Five.
