Question 1: Annual meeting at the Moscone center , and needs networking to communicate with each other . What would you recommend for their networking?
Answering Question 1 : Casey and Andy
Situation #1
Wireless Connections For Human Connections
Network Solutions
o Wireless networking offers a clean and modern environment for all of your networking needs.
o Routing and switching for efficient and uncongested network traffic.
o Fiber optic cabling for higher speeds and greater throughput.
Advantages of Wireless Networkingo Efficient and convenient.
o Allows ease of access. Bring in your laptop or tablet and get connected with a few small steps.
o Minimize hardware requirements for easy maintenance and reduced cost.
o Information can be stored and shared from a central server and enhanced with access to the world wide web.
Wireless Brings Flexibility
o Allows users to bring in their own laptops to connect.
o Also works with tablets and smartphones, allowing for more portable ways to connect.
o Convention operators can install wired workstations to broaden access and provide backup for unexpected contingencies.
Question 2 : San Francisco law firm moving to a new high rise building with two hundred people. What would you recommend for their networking?
Answering Question 2 : Damen and Wilton
Situation #2
Law Firm
High Rise Building
Two Hundred Employees
Analyzing The Needs
Satellite
Only one location Needs clear line of
sight Expensive Slow
Highly unnecessary and inefficient.
Cable Modem + Copper Twisted Pair
Put this together because one needs the other.
Inefficient Slow Not very secure
Wireless
Not very secure Short range Needs to be able to
reach throughout the building
Repeaters/bridges add to the security risk
Fiber Optics
Secure New building =
Probably installed already
Fast Low power Effective
Most effective networking option based on the needs of this law firm
Why Fiber Optics?
Less expensive than copper twisted pair
Cables are thinner than copper twisted pair
Less signal degradation Less interference Lower power
consumption Degrades slower Non flammable Lightweight Durable Flexible
Security
Harder to tap into compared to other networking options
“Unlike metallic-based systems, the dielectric nature of fiber optic cables makes it impossible to remotely detect the signal being transmitted within the cable. The only way to do so is by actually accessing the fiber optic itself.”
Workgroup
Easier to share/access files and data
Makes it easier for intruders to access files unnoticed
Domain Based Server
More secure for a law firm carrying sensitive data
Keeps data together
Question 3 : A small criminal law firm with three people in an old Victorian building in the mission district. They need to be careful with the security of their data. What would you recommend for their networking? Do they need networking?
Answering Question 3 : Kyle and Damien
Peer to Peer Network / Workgroup
All nodes in the network are equal and can communicate directly with each other:
o File sharingo Internet sharingo Peripheral sharing
(printers, copiers)
Network Needs
Unshielded Twisted-Pair cables with RJ-45 connectors (Cat-5 or 6)
Modem (Cable or DSL) w/Internet Service Provider
Router/Switch/Firewall combo
Network Attached Storage (NAS)
Centralized storage and access of data on a network
Network Structure
Security Needs
Password-protected network/Workgroup Firewall (software or hardware) Wired network w/option of wireless (via router) Disable network name (SSID) broadcast and limit signal
range Use WPA protocol Anti-Virus Software (Avast, Norton) Train employees about smart internet use.
Protect your information
Scheduled back-ups to NAS
Back-up NAS to External HD
Answering Question 4 : Simon and Marcos
Question 4 : Venture Capital provide money for startup and other companies. They have three different location San Francisco, London and Rome. What would you recommend for their networking?
We will being using satellite connection and server based with central server.
Each location will have its own server while San Francisco server will be the central server.
The reason for satellite connection is because each office is at different location.
In case of an emergency where satellite is not able to be used the company will be using cable wire for their connections.
Paolo Capitale
A Venture Capital Company
They provide Money to companies in return for ownership
Paolo Capitale3 Locations
Satellite Communications
3 Offices around the world
Satellite as main communication between servers
Cable Communications
In the event that the satellite connection goes down, we will have cable connection as back up
