Address the current design flaws per figure

Figure 1. Global Hospital Network Design

Jane Doe Global Hospital owns a network of hospitals supported by four (4) office buildings. Their original design, depicted in Figure 1, was categorized as a medium-size network for 200 to 1,000 devices. They have well surpassed this and added new services in telemedicine. In addition, it has several flaws. You, as their senior network engineer, are tasked with the job of a complete re-design. This design must support a large-size network for over 1,000 devices, address the current design flaws per figure 1, and meet the future needs of a globally capable hospital IT infrastructure. *Note, each of the office buildings in Figure 1 also contains additional routers, switches, workstations, and servers that would support a typical hospital office building of this hospital size. Include these devices to meet the rubric requirements as you design the detailed version of this network. Regardless, only one workstation is needed per network switch to show working functionality.

• Take screenshots demonstrating your network, servers, configurations, and protocols properly functioning in the new design. Screenshots must include a unique piece of information identifying the student’s computer along with a proper operating system date/time. Submit these as appendices in the Word document.

• Submit a working Packet Tracer lab, typically this file has a .pkt file extension.

• Packet Tracer IT Infrastructure Re-Design Requirements

  • You must start with a blank/new Packet Tracer file, existing labs or modified labs of existing solutions will receive a zero without exception

  • • An appropriate WAN design supported by research is necessary

    • Add appropriate routers and switches to support this new design

  • Add sufficient modularity, resiliency, and flexibility into the design, at least one significant improvement for each for a total of three (3) optimizations

  • Design and implement the following new services and systems

    • • Requires two database servers

      • Requires a storage area network (SAN) to store all data

• • Submit a properly formatted APA paper in Microsoft Word

  • Here is an example paper: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/18/

  • Review of literature that supports the new system simulation, model, and design

    • Include appropriate IT frameworks and standards in which to design a large enterprise class IT infrastructure and network

  • • Explain each of the additions and improvements

    • Reference the primary configurations and how these were developed

• Save the file as Lastname_Firstname_ProjectPhaseI. Include your name in the assignment file itself and submit your file to Blackboard.

• Any assignment without working Packet Tracer files or without screenshots that do not include a visible date and timestamp from the operating system and a unique desktop element to identify the student’s work will not be accepted.

• • In “Paint”, select the graph or area needed and copy it. You need to click this icon in order to be able to select an area. The icon is listed on the left side of the window.

  • Paste the selected area to a word processor.
