A. Computer and Network Engineering

1.Network Design

 

I believe designing a network is an art, it is like composing music. Knowing that what is the best structure for your client and optimizing the cost of equipment and yet providing the best design needs both technical knowledge and experience and if you combine them with the skills to draw it as well the outcome is not different than an artwork. The samples below are only few modifications of currently live networks provided for local medium size businesses. Another part of my work in this field includes surveying a present network, drawing and analyzing the network to find ways to get a better performance out of present hardware with less additions only by re-designing it.

This network is currently handling over 150 users, including remote dialers, Citrix users and local users in 9 branches of the business. This business is growing every day and the diagram has room for improvement up to considerable amount of users and locations.

Simplicity is the key in this diagram and despite the simple look  this network is handling over 100 users in 5 locations.
