You are required to create a network design for a small company that has 10 computers and one business class connection to the Internet. The network provider hosts the web server used for this company. In this design, you will show computers, network components, a single wired network, a wireless network for staff and visitors, and a plan for network monitoring. The staff wireless network will be secure, but the guest wireless network will be unsecured. The submission will be two documents: a .PPT or .PPTX presentation file and an Excel spreadsheet. In the notes section of the presentation file, you are to support the information found in the presentation by writing in paragraphs and/or bulleted format using proper grammar, capitalization, and punctuation. The spreadsheet is used to document the computer/network equipment in a professional format. One graph is required to be created as part of the spreadsheet and to be included inside the presentation. You will not be required to present this design. You may name this company anything you want and it may be for any industry.  To recap, you must produce the following business professional documents:

• A PPT or PPTX Powerpoint presentation that includes the following: (1) a network drawing that includes the computers and network equipment for the wired and wireless networks as well as the Internet connectivity, (2) a chart that was created and saved in Excel that shows either pricing or equipment, (3) a plan for monitoring the network performance.  
• An XLS or XLSX Excel spreadsheet that shows either equipment costs and/or inventory. From this data, you will create a chart that is copied into your presentation.

Your supervisor is excited about your first proposal but warns you of time constraints and the type of audience you have. Your supervisor outlined the following requirements for you to follow:

• You must use no more than 10 slides including text, figures, and diagrams.
• You should use Powerpoint or Visio to create your network drawing.
• Be consistent in how you use capitalization and punctuation in Powerpoint.
• Do not use Powerpoint as you would Word. Use professional presentation creation techniques.
• Be professional in your spreadsheet creation (consistent capitalization and professional graphic)
