Network Infrastructure Design

Upgrade Team IT Infrastructure

Network infrastructure design involves several key aspects:

1. Requirements Definition:
• Needs Analysis: Understanding business, application, and user requirements.
• Performance and Capacity: Estimating expected data volume and determining required capacity.

2. Structural Planning:
• Topology Design: Choosing the appropriate topology type (star, ring, mesh).
•Layered Architecture: Using a layered network model
(OSI model) to divide the network into functional layers.

3. Equipment Selection:
•Routers and Switches: Selecting appropriate devices based on performance and features.
•Servers: Specifying: the required server specifications.
•Wireless Access Points: Determining their locations and quantity.

4. Security:
•Firewalls: Defining security policies and setting up firewalls.
•VPNs: Implementing virtual private networks for secure remote access.

5. Physical Infrastructure:
•Cabling: Choosing cable types ( fiber optic, copper cables).
•Cable Management: Planning cable management for organization and ease of maintenance.

Network Installations & Implementations

The installation and implementation process involves several steps:

1. Planning and Preparation:
•Site Preparation: Preparing physical sites for equipment installation.
•Device Preparation: Installing and setting up network devices.

2. Configuration:
•Device Configuration: Setting up routers, switches, and wireless access points.
•IP Addressing: Assigning addresses and configuring DHCP.

3. Network Testing:
•Connectivity Testing: Verifying connectivity between devices.
•Performance Testing: Measuring network speed and performance.

4. Documentation:
•Technical Documentation: Creating detailed documents including configurations and architecture.
•Training: Training staff on network management and maintenance.

5. Maintenance and Support:
•Continuous Monitoring: Using monitoring tools to track network performance.
•Technical Support: Providing ongoing technical support to users.
