Introduction of the Business & Network Requirements

Overview of the Startup Business

• The development of this network configuration is necessary for a game company that has an internet café on the ground floor, available for public use and for testing their new games. The first floor houses the office where employees work in their respective departments, along with a meeting room and a break room for company's staff and clients who visit the company. The second floor, or top floor, contains the database room, disaster recovery room, control room, and security monitoring room.

• The ground floor is open to the public for gaming and the company will also host events from time to time, while the first floor serves as the main workspace for employees. The second floor is primarily dedicated to maintain the company’s daily operations and ensuring the security of sensitive company information. 

• The company requires an integrated network configuration that ensures security while adequately supporting the network needs of both employees and the public. A high-speed and stable network is essential to meet the demands of both public and employee use, along with a full complement of necessary network devices.
