The Firm

Elsolutions is a small but growing software company with diverse computing needs. Its main focus is software development, and the company requires shared access to files, printers, video streams, and the Internet. Dial-in support is needed for engineering, technical support, marketing, sales, and the administrative staff. Our network also requires security because of strong competition and for prevention of computer viruses. Our overall objective is to lay out a computing environment that will keep all departments working efficiently, and not worrying about their tools. The computer equipment and the network must be predictable and reliable. The firm is represented in Table 1-1.
