Overview Of The Network Design For XYZ Hospital

Project Background and Scope

XYZ hospital is a fast upcoming hospital in the city center. The growth experienced is as a result of quality services offered by our mentioned hospital  and trust this hospital has won from its customers. As a result of this, XYZ hospital has decided to come up with a spacious offices that will enable the hospital perform its duties with respect to client requirements. In this task we are tasked to design the network and implement it according to XYZ hospital requirements.

Justification

Server

Windows Server 2008 OS, Broadcom Network controller, 4 drive bays, 5 USB port, 64gb RAM,  RAID controllers, Intel C236 Chipset

Is used hosting printing services, messaging and webserver, file sharing, DHCP, mailing, DN, services

PC

4gb RAM, 500gb HDD, Windows 10 Pro, 26 inch monitor, DVD reader, Keyboard and Mouse

These computers will be used for daily activities by employees.

Laptops

Windows 10 Pro, 2*USB 3.1 Gen 1,i7, 1TB HDD,4gb, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

For use by employees who will be outside in the field.

In the above network design diagram, it has the flowing elements:

Building 1

Building 1 requires 4-48port switches and a wireless router to accommodate this floor’s population of 175 (ie 5 floors*10 small rooms*2 +5 floors *5 wards *3 )data points. Wireless router to be used for devices that are not supported by Ethernet LAN.

Distribution layer switch will be used as a stub network to bring switches’ data communication to the router.

The router is used to route packets from client workstation to outside world.

Building 2

This building requires four 48-port switches and wireless router to accommodate this floor’s population of 195 (ie 5 floors*10 small rooms*2 +5 floors *5 wards *3+20 data points of server room) data points. Wireless router to be used for devices that are not supported by Ethernet LAN.

Building 3

Building 1 requires 4-48port switches and a wireless router to accommodate this floor’s population of 175 (ie 5 floors*10 small rooms*2 +5 floors *5 wards *3) data points. Wireless router to be used for devices that are not supported by Ethernet LAN.
