Your supervisor has tasked you with documenting options for the client.

Create the following documents for your client:

• A logical network diagram using Microsoft® Visio® that includes the following:
  • The three city locations
  • Designation of one of the cities as host for the company Data Center
  • A VLAN structure for each location
• A logical network diagram using Microsoft® Visio® that includes the following:
  • The three city locations
  • A fourth location that will represent the cloud service provider hosting the Data Center for the company, including the use of server virtualization in the cloud
  • A VLAN structure  for each location
• A 1-page Microsoft® Word document explaining your network layouts that includes the following:
  • Your rationale for each of the diagramed VLAN structures for the organization
  • The type of cloud service the service provider will provide the company and your rationale (for the cloud data center only)
