Executive Summary
With an expectation of significant growth not only in their organizational size but also the in the number of premises that will be utilized alongside the larger organization, XUMUC needs to ensure that the network and infrastructure foundations allow for such growth and expansion opportunities while ensuring at the same time that several already identified network issues are resolved.
The first of these issues relates primarily to the lack of a coherent network structure within XUMUC as there is no consistency applied across the network or the current sites which relates to how the organization itself is structured. As a result the current network implementation is very inefficient and lacking the ability to provide advanced features such as a Quality of Service (QoS) configuration which would offer a substantial improvement in the throughput and responsiveness of the network.
Secondly, the bandwidth allocated as part of the overall network topology between XUMUC locations is severely limited in several instances resulting in throughput and performance bottlenecks and a subsequent effect on organizational processes. As the amount of users integrated into the network will be increasing, all of whom will require a reliable network connection regardless of their location then there needs to be a suitable appraisal of WAN connectivity so that the required bandwidth is always available.
Having addressed these major issues with the core network infrastructure it will also be necessary to address the current issues surrounding the manual configuration requirement for networked
