Connectivity Strategy

ITT Capstone Project

Fifth Element, Inc

Protocols

Protocols utilized by this network include, but are not limited to:

TCP/IP, for traffic into and out of the network.

HTTP, for transmitting data to and from the internet.

FTP, for uploading and downloading data to the FTP server.

SMTP, used by Exchange for sending and receiving email.

Hardware

Most current hardware is to be replaced and upgraded. Servers will be upgraded

to Dell PowerEdge T605 Towers. All workstations will be upgraded to Dell Precision

T3400 workstations. The network will be configured with Cisco 800 model routers,

Dell PowerConnect 2724 model switches, and Netgear Prosafe FVX538 model

firewalls. The standalone printers will be replaced by networked Brother MFC-

8860DN All in One multifunction printers, which handle printing, scanning and

faxing. Lenovo ThinkPad W500 laptops will be provided.

Software

Each workstation will be configured with Windows XP Service Pack 3. They will

include licensed copies of Microsoft Office 2003 Professional, Adobe Acrobat Reader

9 and Norton Anti-Virus 360.

The servers will be configured with Windows Server 2003 and Ubuntu Linux. The

Windows Servers will be set up for Exchange, DNS, DHCP and Active Directory.

The Ubuntu Linux server will use Apache for Web services, including the office

Intranet, and MySQL for the patient database.

Implementation and post-implementation procedures

Connectivity Strategy of 5



All implementation and post-implementation procedures are provided on

separate worksheets. In brief, implementation will consist of the following:

Installing and configuring new equipment.

Testing systems according to Test and Quality Assurance plan.

Physical Topology

The physical topology of the network will be what is known as a “star” topology.

A star topology is the most common form of physical topology, which consists of a

central switch that acts as a central point for transmitting and receiving data between

servers, workstations and other devices.
