| hi
My name is Aisha and im student at college.. im doing a project on network
and i have problem in doing the project.. i would be thankful if you
could help me . the proplem is as below..
the lower college of Technologey (LCT)are currently thinkinig of upgrading
their computer systems to enable them to teach their courses more
efficiently snd effectively.
There are 12 colleges in the LCT.These colleges are spread across the
country - some are hundreds of kilometre apart . The colleges communicate by
attaching a few machines via modems to the national telephone company (
Tisalot)and using email.
In each college there are several buildings which have computer labs in
them . Some of these building are over 100 metres apart.
In the computer labs the machines are 'stand - alone' ( they are not
network)
All application programs ( e.g word , Excel) are stored on every C drive.
All student document files are saved on the internal C drive or on floppy
disk.
To print a document it must be copied to floppy and taken to a machine
with a printer attached . Each lab only has one machine with a printer
attached.
if you have employed to give advice on what kind of LAN/ WAN the LCT
should consider as a replacement for the current environment.
first of all i want you to describe to me the problems with the present
environmet.
and then describe the advantage of networking.
finally suggest a possible choice of networking technology within each
college:
1. wiring
2. type of network ( peer to peer or client/ server)
3. network operating system
4. Topology
5. linking buildings
suggest a better way of connecting colleges
please replay to me as soon as possible.
thank you
yours faithfully

| Simple.
Current enviroment not user efficient. Move from WS to WS to print and such.
New enviroment - Use Novell since you primary usage will be file/print sharing and connect buildings via T1 lines. Lock down workstations and store user files on server in user home directories. Put printers on HP Jetdirect and you are set. |
