Design Proposal
Design Proposal for a Small Pharmaceutical Regional Sales Office in New York City
A comprehensive office layout was designed for the office space. The layout takes into consideration the specific needs of a pharmaceutical regional sales office, including private offices, meeting rooms, and collaborative workspaces. A wiring layout was developed to ensure efficient connectivity and data transfer throughout the office. A logical network diagram was created to visualize the network infrastructure and its components. This diagram serves as a blueprint for the hardware and software selection process. Based on the logical network diagram, a detailed hardware list was compiled. The hardware selection includes networking equipment, servers, workstations, printers, and other necessary devices. A software list was also created, ensuring all essential applications and tools are included.
Pricing Analysis:
- A comprehensive price list was generated for all the required hardware and software.
- Services such as web hosting, off-site tape storage, training, and internet access were also considered.
- To reduce hardware and software costs, an exchange hosting provider was chosen for email services, eliminating the need for in-house mail servers.
- A detailed implementation plan was developed to ensure the smooth deployment of the network infrastructure.
- The plan includes a timeline with clear milestones, allowing for the office to be fully operational by the targeted mid-June deadline.
In conclusion, this design proposal outlines a comprehensive plan for a small pharmaceutical regional sales office in New York City. The proposal includes an office layout, wiring design, logical network diagram, hardware and software selection, pricing analysis, and an implementation plan. By considering the specific needs of the office and leveraging cost-effective solutions, we aim to provide PharmCo with an efficient and functional network infrastructure.
Hosted Exchange Solution
