Assignment Description -
Business case study: Network design proposal for a School
Description - Located in USA, the Evergreen school campus sits on approximately three acres of land and serves over 400 students from kindergarten to high school with a staff of 40 teachers. With students needing Internet access for their education, the school needed to build a wired network to give students more opportunities to access information online. This historic school also wants to prepare for the future of digital education, which allows E-learning through digital textbooks and online homework and libraries. "Nowadays, no one can live without the Internet. So this is very urgent for the school to build this network" said Carlos, a student at Evergreen. "Not only for students, but also for a more efficient learning environment."
Evergreen needed a comprehensive, technologically advanced Network solution that is cost effective and allow for network monitoring. The solution had to be easy to deploy and manage due to limited staff. The network need to cover the two main buildings of the primary school and high school with 20 classrooms in total. Client is also requesting wireless internet access at both buildings because A powerful wireless network would also allow teachers and students to use their devices at school. Moreover, the staff and students each needed separate log-in credentials, to allow them different levels of Internet access. With students needing Internet access for their education, the school needed to build a network to give students more opportunities to access information online.
