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

• 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.

Disaster Recovery

Disaster Recovery• Being able to recover fast

• Backups• Software errors• Knowing the legal

ramifications

BENEFITSPlanning 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.

Cost AnalysisAfter 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.

Cost Analysis ContinueNow, I have created a percentage in which is more important to the company or should be of importance.

Application Server 20% of the businessWeb Server 10% of the businessDatabase Server 30% of the preston university

The Servers are60% of the university

Total cost required to develop this network is 60000rs

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.
