Networking Assignment

Scenario: Throughout the course you will be working with improvements to the Bedford Campus and its satellite campus in Mayberry. The Bedford Campus, with its 12 full-time employees and two classrooms, has recently increased its online enrollment to 1,500 students working asynchronously. This increase in student enrollment has caused a significant slowdown in network connectivity in the classrooms. Reports have stated that it can take up to twenty minutes (and sometimes longer) to get connected to the online classroom or to get to the Internet. While on campus, students are only able to access campus resources on school computers. The campus does not have a wireless network that would allow for students to use their own personal devices (BYOD).

Based on the Week 2 learning team assignment, Week 2 individual assignments, and Week 3 discussions, develop an 8-10 slide presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint® which highlights the network improvements that are proposed for the Bedford Campus and the Mayberry Satellite. The presentation should address the following points:

• A list of issues identified for the current networks
• How the issues were identified
• Specific solutions which solve the current connectivity issues
  • Wired
  • Wireless
  • Cloud-hosted
• A proposed timeline for implementing the solutions
• Personnel resources needed to implement the solutions
• A proposed budget for implementing the solutions
