Sample Network Proposal that I created just for fun.

1. Network Proposal By Franklin B. Williams II 5 Location Network Design

2. Index Introduction ABC Medical Practice Current Network Network Planning (WBS) Inventory of Hardware & Network Devices Software Requirement Disaster Recovery & Cost Analysis Proposed Network Design Implementing New Network (WBS) Staff Training

3. Network ProposalIntroduction Prepared By Franklin Williams The scope of this proposal is to create a better network for the Medical Practice that will allow them flexibility in the following categories: Security Data Backup Network Scalability

4. ABC Medical PracticeCurrent Network Design The current network is nothing of a business network. None of the locations are connected; each of the locations is running its own Local Area Network(LAN). There is no Virtual Private Network(VPN) for the company to provide separation from the public network. Some of the Hardware used in this network needs to be upgraded and additional systems added to ensure productivity among departments. 5 Locations within the same city

5. Network Planning Work Break-Down Structure(WBS) Planning will help keep the project in order and done in a timely manner.

6. Inventory of Hardware Network DevicesA complete audit of network combined with current & new devices

7. Inventory of Network Devices Network Devices Need 10 Switches 5 Routers 5 DSU/CSU (Optional, routers can possess this particular feature to cut cost.) Server Equipment 5 Print Servers 1 Web Server 1 Application Server 1 Server (Linux OS) Server Equipment Continue: 1 Directory Server for the Windows Server 2003/2008 1 Database Server Workstations 48 Workstations 11 Printers

8. Software Requirements All workstation will be configured in the same manner. An image disk will be created to allow greater flexibility when troubleshooting. All workstations will be running Virus Scan, Microsoft Office and Microsoft Live for email solutions. Applications such as Medical Management, Windows Server 2003, SQL and Fedora 8 will be hosted at the City Center location via VPN.

9. Disaster Recovery Disaster Recovery Being able to recover fast is key to the continuation of a business. Fixing or Replacing hardware Backups Software errors Knowing the legal ramifications Benefits Planning before it happens saves time and prevents the company from losing generated income. The scope of the Disaster Recovery Plan is to give the IT Admin a general idea of what to do in the event of an emergency.

10. Cost Analysis After examining the Disaster Recovery Plan, lets take a look at the cost of a disaster from an extreme point of view. The most valued components of the Medical Practice is its servers to do business with the insurance companies. Example: 3 Servers are down and none operational. Each server costs $6000 and it will take 4 hours each to get new servers online and operational. In a single day, these servers generates $20,000.00.

11. Cost Analysis Continue Now, I have created a percentage in which is more important to the company or should be of importance. Application Server 20% of the business Web Server 10% of the business Database Server 30% of the business Known as Annual Rate of Occurrence = .6% Company Generated Income = $20,000.00 a day Cost of replacing servers 3 x $6000 = $18,000 Known as Single Loss Expectancy = (20,000 + 18,000) = $38,000 Now we need to Multiply both ARO and SLE .6($38,000) = $22,800 The Medical Practice needs to budget at least $22,800 In order to deal with failed servers. The Servers are 60% of the Business

12. New Network Design Proposal Benefits of New Network Offers scalability - Hardware - Network - Wirelessly One central location for backups Multiple Networks (VPN, WAN, and LAN). Security Allows the IT Admin to work remotely.

14. Ordering Equipment

15. Installing Equipment

17. Organization Training Network Handbook Once the network is in place, each department will be trained specifically for their position within the organization. I will also develop a section on the company’s intranet for further training of the network and how things work.
