Can someone from you help me with this?

Research and produce a report from vendor configurator website for a physical server that will be used in a business. Server design should be for the primary administration sor the network. The report must addess processor type, disk capacity (including proposed setup, drives used and partitioning), memory, NIC, PSUs.

These are the current setup:

Hardware purchases $140,000 Software Purchases $140,000

Current Configuration:

• There are no servers, only peer-to-peer networks
• Wired LAN is 10/100 Ethernet with an ad-hoc topology
• The storage of files on staff computers is unstable and unreliable
• The desktop computers in the admin areas have several different operating systems installed
• The company pays an Internet service provider to host web services
• Staff members use email rarely; all mailboxes are at internet sites
• The internet works for admin staff only. Wi-Fi is used by IT staff only
• One member of the IT team has been experimenting with VOIP but no implementation yet

Business Needs:

• The CEO is concerned that the old technology is costing them money and has decided that it is time to upgrade
• The IT Manager has stated that the company wants to introduce a Microsoft LAN for administration staff and customers
• Full wireless integration
• On-site web and email services
• Web services and network administration to run on a Intel/Linux server
• Directory services and email to run on an Intel/Microsoft server
• An additional $20,000 has been allocated for network improvements
• The IT team has been asked to devise a strategic plan for growth of the IT infrastructure
• The new IT infrastructure must be based on clearly defined business requirements

Technical Requirements:

• The clients are currently using a peer-to-peer network design which needs to be replaced by an up-to-date Ethernet client/server network
• Many staff members complain that the peer-to-peer network is too slow, the network needs to be more reliable
• The CEO has stated that she wants State-of-the-art technology on every desk
• The company has purchased a new software package for running accounts receivable and accounts payable which needs to be made available to members of the Administration and Finance departments
• Error messages on desktop workstations suggest that memory and disk upgrades are needed
• All Microsoft operating systems on both servers and workstations need to be upgraded to current versions
• The proposed server & network must be agile and redundant (easily recoverable think server clustering)
• Linux servers are to be introduced into the network and fully integrated so that Microsoft and Linux systems can share disk resources
• Single-sign on authentication must be configured so that anyone logging on to the network will be able to access both Microsoft and Linux resources.

1. Produce a report from a vendor configurator with specifications for a server that meets requirements for the case study company. Your server design should be for the primary Administration server for the case study network. The specifications should align to the business requirements. The report specifications must address:

1. Processor type
2. Disk capacity including proposed setup, drives used and partitioning
3. Memory
4. Network interfaces
5. PSUs

2. Review an article from the vendor configurator web site:

1. Name the article
2. Provide a brief description
3. Discuss how this article is helpful in designing a server

3. Detail how your server design provides for high availability ie clustering of servers, RAID, etc.

To successfully submit your work you must:

1. The complete specifications report from the vendor configurator
   1. Your article review
   2. Drawings for your servers design/layout including how high availability has been factored into your design
   3. A brief of your finding for the data migration options.
