Case Study:
UniversityNet is a growing tech startup that specialises in building online learning platforms for schools and universities. The organisation has 50 employees who work remotely from various locations around the world. The organisation's current network infrastructure consists of a router, two switches, and 50 laptops. Each laptop is connected to the switches via Ethernet cables, and the switches are connected to the router. The router is connected to a fibre optic internet connection that provides 100 Mbps download and upload speed. The organisation's online learning platform is hosted on a cloud server.

The organisation has recently experienced network performance issues, including slow download and upload speeds, dropped connections, and difficulty accessing cloud-based applications. The company has also expressed concerns about network security and wants to ensure that their network infrastructure is secure and reliable.

Your task is to analyse the current network infrastructure and propose a solution that addresses the identified problems and improves the network performance, reliability, and security. Your proposal should include a network diagram, a description of the proposed network architecture, a list of recommended hardware and software components, and a cost estimate.

Learning outcome 1: Describe the main technologies, models and protocols used in data communications and networking.
