OVERVIEW
Short Description of network, computers, technical systems at TDA, further detailed in the rest of
the document.
Example:
TDA is a seventy staff person incorporation. “They currently have 10 computers that are
networked to a server running Windows NT. They are sharing a 384K SDSL internet connection,
and have a website and hosted email under the domain name of I&I
Overall, TDA has computers ranging from five-year-old Pentiums to new PIII computers, though
most of their computers are 2-3 years old.
Their network is also showing its age, the wiring is all CAT6 but is not organized in any way, and
is chaotically connect to the switches in the back room. The server is having a few problems,
crashing occasionally and losing print jobs, but overall has been functioning well for the last
couple of years. The hubs (2 - 8 ports) are both 1Gbps, and are completely full, though there is a
few slots available on the DSL router.
