| LARGE OFFICE |
A large office design is one step closer to a campus design. In addition to supporting
more users, a large office might also need higher LAN switching capability if supporting
a server farm (DMZ). Support for some of these services requires the use of appliance
devices if higher throughput is required. To meet these requirements, a distribution layer
is added to the small office or medium office topology by introducing a Layer 2/Layer 3
switch to provide the required LAN switching capabilities, port density, and flexibility to
support additional appliances.

The Design should also consider. |
Overview:
|
Voice, data, video network infrastructure cabling. (I.e. Security alerts and
surveillance, CCTV and CATV): |
| Security: |
Don’t forget security !! |
| Cooling: |
Network and server equipment create abundant heat and also tend to
shutdown when over-heated. |
| Wireless: |
The wireless standard that you select should depend on whether you’re
running a thin or fat client. |
Fiber Backbone:
|
Fiber backbones can create options for high bandwidth & long
cabling distances between office locations at rates that are quite competitive. |
Scability
& Availability: |
The design has to be highly Scalable & should also
ensure zero down time. |
