Understanding the Network environment.
It s really a rare case that a networking professional starts
the work from the scratch, the people who do from
the scratch always are fortunate to learn more about
designing a Network. Designing a
Network in a company is not a easy task you need
to shape up the whole environment which includes large
number of users.
About Network Nature
In general,
Network starts small and grows over a period
of time. But irrespective of the fact whether the
company is building up a new network or renovating
new network the tools, which you are going to use,
are more or less same. It is the duty of the
Network professional to calculate and predict a networking
design in such a way that not only it suits the company
for now but also for the expansion.
Predicting a Network Design and implementing
it.
Remember Networking can’t be predicted even with the advanced
tools or resources available, why because each network has its own unique
demands and these types of demands are completely mystic. We can only predict
it over time how people are using the network, what type of resources needs to
be implemented.
The Best way to find out a good networking design is by
exactly calculating the needs and with practical assistance from the
experienced people of the company you can design a network exactly meet those
needs. You need to have a fallback plan
in some part of network. For instance,
You may have to face some problems in the distribution of bandwidth, you might
face with some storage requirements it may be higher or lower than expected,
its always wise to measure and work out a concrete solution for these types of
problems.
How to Assess Network Design Needs
As I said before it’s not easy to design a Network or assess,
to perfectly and accurately do the assessment you need to get answers for the
following questions
-
What is the amount of storage space required?
-
Bandwidth problems will come later you need to calculate the amount of
bandwidth going to be used?
-
You need to completely know about Network services requirements
- .
What will be the budget of the project?
These
are very simple questions and can bring a greater amount of clarity when it
comes to Assessing network needs. You need to break those inputs and make sure
there is no holes in the network design that will lead to future problems.
