Using the building layout, your role is to provide DesignIT with a network design that interconnects the following considerations:

DesignIT plans to relocate three (3) servers already configured as follows:

1 Web Server - Microsoft IIS Server

1 File Server - Microsoft Server 2008

1 Server - Server 2008 Small Business Server

DesignIT has requested that the design include the following:

High speed Internet access

Firewall

Antivirus / malware protection

Six (6) computers

Three (3) color laser printers

Wireless access for portable devices

DesignIT has requested the consideration of all interconnected devices and wiring, along with speeds, for best performance.
