Hi all,
Our Co. is in need of upgrading the network as it will be expanding. Currently we use a NetWare Server & Win98 Workstations. Been the most experienced, it was asked of me to determine the current bandwidth and future bandwidth required. The budget doesn’t allow for pro. consultation. There are ~30 employees in HQ, with another ~30 in 3 regional offices. Only HQ is presently networked. With an existing Client base of ~1,000. The upgrade will also include a website with an interactive office layout planner. New equipment & Cat5e or 6 will be used in the network of HQ & the 3 regional offices (with VPN in upgrade for mobile Sales staff).
Possible WAN connections/services available (e.g., ISDN, ADSL, ATM, etc.) considering bandwidth, performance, security, cost, etc..
Replies ASAP with help on websites, course of actions, additional suggestions, etc. are greatly appreciated.
Thank you kindly in advance.
