ITM 610 Networking Management

You have been tasked with setting up a new company branch office for an existing organization. The company headquarters is in a different state but houses the main accounting server and company databases. The new branch office will need high speed Internet access and a VPN connection to the main office. The branch is expected to host 15 to 20 users. Due to the secure nature of the accounting and database systems that must be connected, you also must develop a plan to incorporate network security to meet their needs.

Research and design a solution to address these requirements. While cost is always a factor to some degree, it would be best to recommend two options, good and optimal. Write your plan in a minimum 4-5 page APA-formatted paper, including network maps and pricing charts as appropriate. You will deliver your proposed solution in the Week 8 live class session.
