CONTEXT:

You have been tasked with designing and putting into place a new enterprise network architecture based on conventional technologies and IPv4 addressing for the business while working as a network engineer for an IT company named ShibaInc.

The company offers wired LAN connection and PC desktop workstations for office users and is made up of four departments: Marketing, Research and Development, Operations, and Human Resources.

The network needs five servers: a File/Print server, a Web server, an Email server, a DNS server, and an Authorization server. All office-based users must have access to all five servers. External users can only visit its external website.

The company allows employees to access the internet via wireless networks on their personal devices, such as iPhones and iPads. However, these devices should only be able to access servers and not be allowed to access departmental networks. The business also wants to test using IoT devices to monitor the server room.

The distribution of workstations is shown in Table 1, which describes the high-level network requirements for each department.

TASK:

Describe any additional network components that could be included to meet the needs for scalability and availability and to enable future network expansion.

Describe any auxiliary technologies or protocols that were employed, such as the routing and addressing protocols.

The network components that have already been in used for this assignment are:

- Routers

- Switches

- Wireless Access Point

- IoT Devices (Sensors, Microcontroller, Gateway and Cloud)

- The 5 Servers

- 2 Firewalls

- A VPN and a DMZ

I have to come up with at least 1000 words for this task so I need some ideas as to what I can say to make the word count.

The components that I am thinking of include: Load balancers, redundant components, VLANs, virtualization, routing protocols and NAS devices. What other components and supporting technologies/protocols can I use?
