Networking and servers
Mrs. Robinson, the director of ExtraMountain Health, is responsible for managing the network infrastructure, as well as Microsoft Active Directory directory service for their Microsoft domain. Mrs. Robinson has requested your assistance in proposing one or more network solutions that will meet several hospital requirements. ExtraMountain Health is growing and has been able to allocate capital funds for the networks improvements.
Current cost and performance issues:1. Patients and medical staff have complained about slow access times.2. The hospital is spending too much money on Class C IP addresses leased from the ISP.3. Need to add wireless connectivity on floors 8 through 10.4. Need redundancy of four infrastructure servers in data center.
Current infrastructure:1. Windows 2012R2 Servers and Active Directory.2. Twelve servers in data center, four infrastructure servers and eight application servers.3. 10 floor building.4. 10 network segments. The network segments are listed below.5. Each floor’s L2 switch, is connected by a single CAT 4 run to enterprise router in data center.6. Data center is on the first floor network segment and must stay on first floor.7. The enterprise router is running RIPv1 routing protocol.8. Bench marking indicate -115dBm at each end of the building on each floor.

You to write a proposal that includes and explains your reasoning:1. Solution to the wasted IP addressing problem.2. Solution to increase network throughput capacity.3. Solution for adding WLAN to floors 8-10.4. Add a L3 switch.5. Change router responsibility to just Internet connectivity. Add a DMZ.6. Propose new routing protocol for the router. What kind of router is it now?7. Propose a server redundancy solution, but ignore applications servers.8. What do the four infrastructure servers do?
Specifics:Write a professional document that you would actually present to IT management in this situation. Include full sentences and prose. Create the document in MS Word. Discuss each of the 8 issues in a separate paragraph. Include your reasoning and be specific about equipment types and components needed,. Create a new table for the IP subnetting solution. Draw a high level network diagram that shows the main components of the overall network and indicate the new solutions that have been upgraded or added.
