Overview
When you plan your network infrastructure, you must clarify or determine the key elements because the networks logical infrastructure makes it possible for computers to communicate using the routes defined in the physical network topology. For the final milestone, you will provide a detailed recommendation of components that are able to meet the future communication needs of SNHUEnergy, Inc.
Prompt
In this section, you will provide a future recommendation based on the information presented. In addition, analyze the information provided in the document to develop a visual representation of your recommended network architecture in a network diagram.
Refer to the following files when completing this milestone:
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
- Future Communication Needs: Summarize the future communication needs of the organization.
- Network Architecture: Describe in detail a network architecture that would be appropriate for supporting the ultimate growth of the organization and defend how the future network would improve communication across the company.
- Future Visual Representation: Develop a visual representation of your recommended network architecture by creating a network diagram.
- Use the provided physical network design example as a guide for creating your diagram.
What to Submit
Review each critical element, and use each critical element as a bold subheading to organize your review of the current network architecture. Include an introduction for this assignment that aligns with your analysis from the first milestone (File attached below “IT640 Project Analysis Plan”). Your submission should align to the current APA standards. Submit your finalized network configuration as a network diagram. You will submit two files for this milestone.
