Company request that you, as the network engineer, to file a
report, discussing the new Cisco solution and what it can offer
AtoZ Insurance. About the organization: AtoZ Insurance

businesses. It supports over one thousand office staff members
in a twenty-story building, as well as one hundred staff
members who work remotely off site in various locations. As an
organization that works with medical information, it is strictly
regulated by government healthcare mandates, so security is a
concern.
