  1. Building a Corporate Network – A Case Study

  2. Objectives • At the end of this case study you will be able to • Transfer a business communication requirements into a data network requirement • Describe the primary components that constitutes a data network • Identify the basic elements of LAN, WAN and Security sub systems • Prescribe a high level network structure for a generic corporate data network

  3. Acme Corporation • Acme Corporation is a multinational organization who has two of their manufacturing plants in Sri Lanka. They produce automobile tires for export and local market. The main factory and head office is located at Kelaniya and another factory at BOI zone, Katunayake. They have a warehouse at Peliyagoda and a raw material store at Thalawakale. Acme Corp need to build a data network to deploy their new ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) application. The Katunayake factory and Peliyagoda warehouse are to be connected online to the head office and the raw material store is to be connected for batch processing via a dial up facility. In addition they need to have Internet connectivity, a local web site and E-mail service for their staff. Staff from corporate head quarters (abroad) and telecommuters in Sri Lanka need to gain access to Acme Corp network for various activities. Data and network security are concerns of the network administrator.
