VSS Corporation manufactures and sells pipes and fittings.

They have ten computers in the main office area, which are networked in a star topology using 10 Mbps Ethernet hubs. VSS Corporation needs to add five computers in the manufacturing area. The manufacturing area in a second building from the main office building, but on the same level, and they share adjoining drywall.

One problem with the existing network is data throughput due to the current infrastructure. In addition to the five computers, they have a server located in the main office area used to store and share files.

Moreover, large files are transferred across the network regularly, and the transfers take quite a while. Also, when two or more computers transfer large files, the network becomes unbearably slow for users.

Furthermore, the office staff says that it takes a long time for the files to print. Adding the manufacturing computers will only make this problem worse and result in another problem. Because the ceiling is more than 30 feet high in the manufacturing area, there's no easy way to run cables to computers. Providing a secure pathway for cables is next to impossible.
