• the CTO is due to retire from ACME, Inc. and you are on the finalist list for your excellent work.
• The CEO has decided that he wants a forward thinking individual in the CTO spot, so he has asked the finalist to provide him a report.
• The report, which should be in a Word document, is your vision for the Network in 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years down the road. Some of the items to include are listed below.
  • What is the expected lifespan of our current network
  • What is the standard lifespan for networks?
  • What upgrades would you suggest each of the intervals listed?
  • What technologies should we be aware of coming down the pipeline?

Attached is the network I have built so far over the past several weeks any help would be greatly appreciated it.
