Faster Networking for the Multimedia Department
Currently, the multimedia department at your school provides twenty Mac desktop computers in a wired Ethernet network for students to use to develop their multimedia projects. The lab uses one switch to connect all the computers, and the cabling is Cat 6 cable. The students are complaining about data transfers taking a long time on the network. In this chapter, we mentioned 10 Gigabit networks, which are used to provide extremely fast wired throughput. Research 10 Gigabit network equipment. Write a proposal to explain how to convert the Mac network to a 10 Gigabit network. Make sure to fully explain what equipment and cabling will be required and how much each component of the new network will cost.
