Your company is expanding by merging with several companies that have offices in other locations and by adding a remote sales workforce that operates from home office locations. You need to configure a network that will allow everyone to work together and access information. One of the companys already has Frame Relay in place between their three offices and suggests this might serve the new, broader company well.

1. What technologies might be utilized to meet this distributed network need?

2. How do these technologies compare?

3. Which set-up do you recommend for the network?

If you did not choose to continue with the Frame Relay, describe how you would justify the change to the company that has already committed to the Frame Relay. You will need to show them that the new set-up will meet all their needs and provide additional benefits.
