Network Design Help
LockedMy project is to design, at a top level, an enterprise-wide telecommunications network for the company described below:
The Company is a worldwide company with offices in the U.S. (Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Miami), in Europe (London, Frankfurt), in Japan (Tokyo), and in South America (Rio de Janeiro). The Company is engaged in the development of audio and video special effects for the entertainment and advertising industry. The main design centers are in Los Angeles, New York, Frankfurt, Tokyo and Rio. Corporate Headquarters are in Los Angeles. The remaining offices are sales offices. Consider the Company to operate on a 24-7 basis, since it is global.
My task is to design a network structure, which will handle a constant stream of multimedia traffic between offices, with average file sizes being 25MB. Response time, any office to any office, for file transfers of this size file must be no more than 5 seconds. In the design centers, multimedia (audio and video) files are the general files worked on and average file sizes are 50MB of combined data. Response time between workstations for this data transfer is desired to be no more than 20 seconds. The Company maintains an intranet with servers in New York, London, and Tokyo. Every location must have Internet access. Full telephone voice capability with conferencing is required, with speed dialing to any location in the company.
I’m fairly new at this so any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
