Appendix Task:

A newly established ACME Corporation has recently acquired offices in the UK, India, and the US. The number of employees in each office is 300, 200, and 100, respectively. The network resources are scarce; therefore, the network design should be as such that they are used efficiently (Hint: Subnetting required)

Each branch office has three departments i.e. IT, HR and Finance. These three departments should have different broadcast domains, and departments should communicate with each other (Hint: Inter-VLAN configuration required). The company is in the process of setting up its communication and network infrastructure, computers, servers, databases, e-mail, and file sharing facilities. The company requires sharing of technology resources across all offices. The company needs to operate in a very secure environment (Hint: Recommend security measures). Their workforce is also using mobile devices to conduct their "Business as Usual" (BAU) activities.

As a Network Administrator, you are assigned the responsibility of connecting different offices using networking paradigms (Hint: Routing protocols required). A topology diagram must be created using Packet Tracer tool. Evidence of successful end-to-end connectivity must be provided and a report on your selection of technologies must be produced. The devices and protocols you chose to set up the scenario mentioned above must be clearly documented in the report, including the rationale behind choosing them. Optional: You can also provide budgeting.

Furthermore, the company has asked you to recommend cloud-based services (e.g. Email, File share, IIS etc.) using AWS. You are not required to setup servers on AWS but provide recommendations in your report. You are required to compare your selection with other available options, their advantages and disadvantages and give an in-depth analysis of what you have proposed.

Based on the given scenario above, what recommendations will you suggest to ACME Corporation for such implementation? Necessary assumptions can be taken to justify your solutions.

Consider the following points when completing this assignment:

Evaluate and explain the operating principles of commonly used networking devices, their characteristics and performance. Define networking standards and communication with OSI Model

Propose and justify a network infrastructure solution for the given scenario

Use routing algorithms to connect network nodes

Evaluate and explain choices for hardware and software such as cloudbased servers.

Discuss security recommendations as ACME corporation is extremely particular about security implications.

Provide credible references from books, journal articles, conference papers, technical articles and vendor websites (e.g. cisco)
