Enterprise Network Design
A typical enterprise network design involves a three-step cycle: needs analysis, technology design, and cost assessment . The cycle is repeated as necessary to complete the design. After the firm-wide infrastructure planning is conducted, the project team starts with a needs analysis of the overall goals of IT maxims. Needs analysis is typically concerned about factors such as geographic scope, application systems to be served using the network, number and types of network users, a rough assessment and classification of the network capacity needs, and so forth.
