Design a LAN

Your team has been asked to design a LAN for a very successful CPA firm with five departments in one building and a total of 560 employees. Currently, the firm has no networked computers, and it is open to any suggestions your team can offer. The firm does have a few requirements:

• It wants to make sure that it can easily expand its LAN in the future without exorbitant costs and moving a lot of equipment.
• Every department must have very fast access to the LAN.
• The LAN must remain up at all times.
• Must use Windows 7 operating system.

As a team, determine what kind of LAN your team will design for this company.

• Use your group discussion board or group virtual classroom to discuss the approach your team will take.
• As a team, create a 1 page executive summary to summarize your design, and 2-3 page paper with diagrams about the detailed network design.
