The Project is :

A network solution needs to be designed for the JAN Hospital Group. Each consulting team must

evaluate the hospital's requirements and design a practical solution. At the end of the term, each team will

present their designs in class. Teams should be prepared to answer questions on their design decisions and

justify their costs. The design considered to be the best will be awarded the contract.

The Client

The JAN Hospital Group has operated in New Providence for over $25$ years. Over the years, JAN has

expanded from a single location to a three$-$building main campus and satellite locations in Sea Breeze,

Cable Beach, and Freeport, Grand Bahama. The team$$s network proposal must take into consideration the

following design factors and client requirements:

The hospital campus has a main building $($block$)$ and two wards. The main block is the administrative

block, where new patient registration occurs. The main block has four floors. JAN has identified a backoffice management suite, which should be accessible to all employees. The software will be installed on a

server in the computer room on the second floor of the administrative block. On the ground floor are ten

computers in the billing and operations department and three in the reception area. The remaining floors

hold administrative and doctor offices. Each floor has $20$ offices $(20$ computers, $20$ printers$).$ The wards

and satellite offices have two floors each, with $15$ computers and five printers on each floor. The number

of computers may be increased based on future expansion plans.

The main building, wards, and satellite offices will have wireless access points to which hospital guests

can connect for Internet access. Two or more high$-$speed Internet connections are available at the

administrative building and satellite offices for guest and administrative use. All guest and company

devices $($except for servers and appliances$)$ should receive dynamic IP addressing. A practical business

continuity solution is needed to ensure that if operations are disrupted, the company can recover and

resume operations.

Design a network that connects JAN$$s main administrative building with its wards and satellite offices.
