Project Background

• Fictitious Company, “A Company Making Everything”, aka ACME Corporation

• Arizona HQ with 125 employees and 4 departments

‒ R&D (~25), Manufacturing (~25), Sales (~50), HR (~25)

‒ A group within HQ R&D also provides IT support company-wide

• 2 manufacturing branch offices, one in Nevada with 300 individuals, the other in

New Mexico with 100

‒ Small HR group at each branch office (5-10 individuals)

• Exclusively uses Google gSuite for all office automation, voice & video

• Uses proprietary CNC (computer numerical control) system for manufacturing which uses design files hosted on a restricted file server (competition sensitive)

Assignment

• Using the top-down approach that we have covered in this course, propose a 5- 10 page high level network architecture and design for ACME Corporation, addressing:

‒ WAN and LAN architectures and topologies

‒ Network protocols and services, including location(s)

‒ Domain naming and IP addressing

‒ Security and Network Management

• No need for specific vendor product recommendations, as this report will be the

basis of an RFP (request for proposal) which will be vendor agnostic

• Fill in any needed details as needed (i.e., assumptions), especially to make the

effort of personal interest

• Prepare a 5-10 page slide presentation with highlights of the proposal

‒ (With per-slide narrations or notes)
