INDP Final Project
Kudler Fine Foods is an upscale food store that is located in the San Diego metropolitan area. There are three locations, La Jolla, Del Mar, and Encinitas, that make up this company. With each store there is approximately 8,000 sq. ft. of space that is located in fashionable shopping centers. Each of the stores are stocked with fresh produce, meat and seafood, and bakery and pastries. In order to better serve their customers Kudler Fine Foods is looking to tie all three of the stores into one wide area network (WAN). They are also looking to include a wireless local area network (WLAN), and add Voice over Internet Phone (VOIP) to the multi-store network. KFF wants to define just which store will house the central servers and to design the network to be expandable beyond the existing stores.
Network Characteristics Each store has a 100 Base T Ethernet connection on a bus topology that connects all equipment to the Internet. Each store also has two routers that are behind firewalls, one that has a dedicated OC 1 SONET connection and the other router is a 25Mbps connection to the Internet. Del Mar and Encinitas stores have a POS server and an HP Blade Server 3000 system that runs on both UNIX OS and LAN OS. The blade servers that are used in these stores are communications, email, storage, and web. Each of these stores also have an HP LaserJet multifunction printer for managerial use. The La Jolla store uses all of those blade servers and also uses a print/file server as well. Along with the blade server storage the La Jolla store also uses a network attached storage (NAS) that is attached with a fiber link. The software that the La Jolla store uses is UNIX OS, SAP Retail software, and NCR POS management software. The La Jolla store is using an APC Smart UPS that is 5000VA/208V. This device has an estimated run time of 14 hours and three minutes and

    With only three stores, their company is structured with only a few departments: Administration, consisting of Finance & Accounting, Sales & Marketing, Human Resources, Operations, and Information Technology. With only three locations, Kudler does not need an extensive organization. They currently have a Bus Topology implemented that does not allow the stores to communicate with each other. The networks are separate and if a network server goes down, there are not any backups or securities set up. The ability to communicate wirelessly will give Kudler some mobility and will allow the locations to be centralized. The La Jolla and Del Mar locations each have a Novel 4.11 Server for POS as well as a UPS-Standalone tower, a bublejet printer, and a 56k modem. Their six computers are hooked up to a 10.1.50.0 Ethernet Network and all systems use the Ethernet Network to hook on to the Internet. The Encinitas location has a Novell 4.11 Server for POS as well. Their location is a bit smaller with only three computers. Their network includes a 56k modem and Internet.…

    In this scenario I will be providing information associated with the creation of a WAN for ACME Manufacturing. This business has several locations spread out all over America and requires a WAN to connect their locations in America with their newly build plant in China. With the headquarters and engineering offices in Atlanta, which are right across the street from each other, the plan would make sense to connect all communication here. There are also distribution offices in New York, Chicago, and Phoenix which will have to be connected to this network to attend the weekly company meetings and have access to information stored at headquarters.…

    Sunica Music and Movies is a small but growing multimedia chain with currently four locations. These locations currently act independently from each other and have little to no communication between each other and each other’s stock.

    Graduating college, getting a job, getting married, buying a house and having kids. For most people these are joyous events that are celebrated with family and friends; and come with hard work. However some people have a different mindset towards life. They perform tasks for the mere sake of getting the job done and life almost seems like a check list.
