Business History: CR Media is a business that provides rentals of video games and movies. The business came to life in December of 2011 and is in the process of becoming established. Movies and Games can be rented via the internet and mailed to the home address in addition to visiting a physical location in the above mentioned cites.
Network Architecture
The network architecture that will be used for the organization will be the client/server network. A client/server network would be more suitable because this is a business that is growing thus it will be easier to make changes and additions to the network. A WLAN Star Topology is going to be used because it will be cost effective and will allow room for future growth. The client/server network will be composed of Windows 2000 File Server, Exchange Server and Firewall Server. We plan to connect 17 users in three locations with 5 users in our main location. Internet access would be controlled through the main location.
