Scenario 1: Client-Server Network of Company ABC From a

business standpoint:
Benefits for Company ABC's business perspective:

Enhanced workflow efficiency: A centralized network makes it simple for departments to access
and share data, which cuts down on paperwork and boosts output.

Improved data management: Each building's independent data storage guarantees that data is
arranged and easily accessible, lowering the possibility of data loss or improper handling.

Cost savings: The business can cut expenses associated with operations and better allocate
resources by decreasing paperwork and enhancing workflow efficiency.

Scalability: The suggested network design is adaptable and future-proof since it makes it simple
to scale up or down as the business develops or changes.

The following organizational expectations will be accomplished:

- Enhanced departmental cooperation and communication
- Improved data administration and security
- Enhanced efficiency and productivity
- Enhanced decision-making through the availability of precise and current data

Regarding opportunities for rightsizing, upsizing, or downsizing, the business might take into
account:
- Combining divisions or positions, lowering the requirement for hardware and physical space
- Easily adding new computers and servers to the network and growing to new locations
- Putting automation or artificial intelligence (AI) into practice to increase workflow efficiency

Technical perspective:
- The client-server network that Company ABC proposing has the following technological
benefits:
- Centralized management: The server-based network makes system administration and
maintenance simple, which lowers IT expenses and boosts network dependability.
- Data independence: Data is stored separately in each building, guaranteeing data security
and accessibility.
 - Scalability: As the business develops or changes, the network design makes it simple to
expand or contract.

In this case, the following standards are applicable:

Devices connected to the internet are connected via a set of communication protocols called
TCP/IP, or Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. It will be employed to make
network device communication easier.

For wired connections between devices, the Ethernet protocol, defined by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers, will be utilized.

Phases of Development:

A. Planning: To determine the needs of the organization and create a network that satisfies those
needs, conduct a comprehensive needs assessment.
B. Design: Draft a thorough design document that outlines the hardware, software, and network
architecture specifications.

C. Implementation: Set up servers, switches, and routers, as well as other network hardware and
software.

D. Testing: Make sure the network is meeting the needs of the business and operating as planned
by carrying out extensive testing.

E. Installation: Install the network throughout the company's buildings to facilitate a seamless
transfer from the paper-based system.

F. Maintenance: To guarantee that the network stays safe, dependable, and effective, provide
continuous maintenance and assistance.

Some potential security problems that could occur are:

- Unauthorized access: To stop unauthorized users from accessing the network and data, make
sure that access controls and strong passwords are in place.
- Data breaches: To stop data loss or theft, put strong data encryption and backup measures in
place.
- Network vulnerabilities: To stop the exploitation of known vulnerabilities, patch and update
network hardware and software on a regular basis.
Scenario 2: Tito's Computer Shop Network
Business Perspective:
Tito's computer shop offers several business-related advantages:

Improved customer experience: With WIFI enabled, customers can easily access the internet and
use their laptops and mobile devices while in the shop.

Increased sales: By providing a convenient and comfortable environment, customers are more
likely to linger and make purchases.

Competitive advantage: Offering WIFI sets Tito's computer shop apart from competitors and
attracts more customers.

Organizational expectations that will be satisfied include:

- Providing a convenient and comfortable environment for customers

- Increasing sales and revenue
- Enhancing the shop's reputation and competitiveness

In terms of downsizing, rightsizing, or upsizing opportunities, the shop may consider:

- Expanding to new locations, easily adding new computers and servers to the network
- Implementing automation or AI solutions to further improve customer experience
- Consolidating services or roles, reducing the need for physical space and hardware

Technological Perspective:
The proposed client-server network for Tito's computer shop offers several technology-related
advantages:

Convenience: WIFI enables customers to easily access the internet and use their devices while in
the shop.

Scalability: The network design allows for easy expansion or contraction as the shop grows or
changes.

Centralized management: The server-based network allows for easy management and
maintenance of the system, reducing IT costs and improving network reliability.
Applicable standards in this scenario include:

TCP/IP: The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is a suite of communication

protocols used to interconnect devices on the internet. It will be used to facilitate communication
between devices on the network.

**IEEE 802.11 **: The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard
defines the WIFI protocol, which will be used for wireless connections between devices.
Development Phases:

A. Planning: Conduct a thorough needs assessment to determine the shop's requirements and
design a network that meets those needs.

B. Design: Create a detailed design document outlining the network architecture, hardware, and
software requirements.

C. Implementation: Install and configure the network hardware and software, including servers,
switches, and routers.

D. Testing: Conduct thorough testing to ensure the network is functioning as expected and meets
the shop's requirements.

E. Deployment: Deploy the network to the shop, ensuring a smooth transition from the current
system.

F. Maintenance: Provide ongoing maintenance and support to ensure the network remains secure,
reliable, and efficient.

Possible security issues that may arise include:

Unauthorized access: Ensure that strong passwords and access controls are in place to prevent
unauthorized access to the network and data.

Data breaches: Implement robust data encryption and backup procedures to prevent data loss or
theft.
Network vulnerabilities: Regularly update and patch network software and hardware to prevent
exploitation of known vulnerabilities.
