Scenario-
Worldwide Advertising, Inc. (referred to as "WAI") has hired you as an IT consultant for implementing their Windows network infrastructure. WAI is a new advertising firm, and they are currently hiring staff, establishing two locations, and have a need to get their internal IT services configured. They do not yet have an IT staff, but when they do, the IT staff will take over all aspects of IT administration. You are required to supply WAI with a solution which describes the implementation and configuration of their core IT services. Cost is not a significant concern - WAI wishes to implement the "right" solution to fit their needs now and for the next 2-3 years.
There are several details about WAI which will have an impact on your choices:
WAI will start with 90 employees, in the following departments:
Executives (9 employees) - manage and run the company
Accounts and Sales Department (15 employees) - perform market research and maintain accounts
Creative, Media and Production Department (49 employees) - advertising
Human Resources and Finances (12 employees) - perform HR and financial duties
IT (5 employees) - manage IT for the company
WAI will have two sites, one in Los Angeles and one in New York. Most staff will be located in LA, with at least 1 person from each of the departments above located in NY.
Networking equipment is already in place for both sites. A secure tunnel (using IPSec) will be established between the two sites so that inter-site traffic will be securely tunneled over the Internet. You may make whatever other assumptions you wish about intra-and inter-site connectivity.
Security mechanisms (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection) will be handled separately, and there is no need to describe them.
Some departments will want their data to remain private from other departments (e.g., Finances personnel will not want Production staff to see the company's financial details). Your team may make assumptions about how data should be shared or kept private.
Assumptions can be made regarding any information not included here; all assumptions should be identified, however.
