Case Study

You are a consultant working with an architectural firm that has just merged with another team of architects and construction project managers. The original New York office housed:

· 5 architects,

· 3 construction project managers,

· 3 executives and business managers,

· 3 administrative (HR, Finance & Accounting, Sales & Marketing, etc.) staff members, and

· 1 receptionist/office assistant

When the merger is completed, there will be five (5) offices located in New York, Miami, San Diego, Seattle, and Las Vegas.

The combined offices will have:

· 17 architects,

· 13 construction project managers,

· 7 executives and business managers,

· 12 administrative (HR, Finance & Accounting, Sales & Marketing, etc.) staff members, and

· 5 receptionists/office assistants.

All of the managers and staff work in the various offices, but 25 architects and construction project managers also work remotely when they are at construction sites located throughout the United States and Canada.

When remote, the architects need to be able to access, download, and upload architectural drawings and the associated documents on a daily basis. The construction project managers must have real-time access to all financial and accounting documents, client records and daily schedules. The CIO has reminded you that they are required to meet Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB) and Right to Financial Privacy Act requirements for protecting client financial information.

You, as a telecommunications/communications consultant, have been asked to design the telecommunications network to support this new multi-location company. Others on the team (not you) will develop the applications and databases.Your task is toidentify the requirements and design a network solution that will meet those requirements (including security and privacy requirements).
