You work as one of five senior networking engineers in a large insurance company with 500 small offices located across the United States. The headquarters, where you work, relies on 10 Windows Server 2008 servers, each with 8 GB of RAM, 4-Ghz processors, and redundant disk arrays; roughly half of these disk arrays provide remote access for field users, and the other half provide applications to headquarters. You have migrated most of your routers to switches this year, and you run an Ethernet 100-Mbps LAN at headquarters. All of the 500 field offices have their own Windows Server 2008 servers, but the remote users often complain of poor support and slow or unreliable access to headquarters. Managers are also concerned about security and a need to update the company’s intranet. Your manager is currently developing next year’s budget. She tells you that she has more than $500,000 to spend on networking upgrades, both hardware and software. She asks your opinion about which items to include in the budget. How would you research your recommendations? What factors would influence you? What additional information should you gather? What kinds of immediate upgrades would you suggest, and which ones are optional or could wait another year?
