The document proposes a new network for Preston University to improve security, data backup, and network scalability. It details the campus details with one building, one computer lab, and other facilities serving around 560 students and staff in 2015. An inventory lists the required network devices, server equipment, and workstations to implement the new network using a mesh topology. Software requirements and a disaster recovery plan are also outlined. A cost analysis estimates the total cost to develop the network will be 60,000 rupees and examines costs from the perspective of servers going down. Network testing is recommended to ensure the new network is problem-free once implemented.

3. Network Proposal
Introduction
The scope of this proposal is to create a
better network for the Preston University
that will allow them flexibility in the
following categories:
• Security
• Data Backup
• Network Scalability
Prepared By hamza khan

4. Campus Details (2015)
• 1 buildings on campus
• 1computer lab
• 4 administration / support facilities
• Population (2015)
• Total 2015 Population – approx 560
• 380 Full time Students, 120 Part time
Students, 500 Total Students , 25 Academic
Staff, 35 Support Staff / Management

5. Inventory of Network Devices
Devices Need
• 2Switches
• 2Routers
• 57 computers (50 for lab ,7 for
Support Staff /
Management Server Equipment
• coaxial cable roll 1000 ft
• 3 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
• 3 Workstations
• 3 Printers
We are using mesh topology

6. 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.

7. 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
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.

8. 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 Preston University is its
servers to do business with the insurance companies.
Example: 3 Servers are down and none operational. Each
server costs 6000rs and it will take 4 hours each to get new
servers online and operational.

9. 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 preston university
Total cost required to develop this network is 60000rs

10. Testing New Network
• Through using a
Network Testing
Script, many areas
of the network can
be tested at once.
This will ensure that
there are no
problems once the
network is in place
for business.
