We currently have about 30 employees but plan on growing to 200 employees over the next year. We have leased a 20,000 square foot building (two 10,000 sq. ft. floors) that is ready to go with office furniture, ethernet cabling, desks, cubicles, power, etc. The building has an IDF on each floor and a separate MDF on the first floor.

I am working on a networking project and I need help to figure out what the best servers are to use for an IT company with 30-200 employees as part of an RFP (Request for Proposal) here is the scenari... o below: Win Financial Group (WFG) is a successful and growing financial consulting company. We are looking for a partner to help us acquire a new IT infrastructure. We currently have about 30 employees but plan on growing to 200 employees over the next year. We have leased a 20,000 square foot building (two 10,000 sq. ft. floors) that is ready to go with office furniture, ethernet cabling, desks, cubicles, power, etc. The building has an IDF on each floor and a separate MDF on the first floor. We need a proposal for an edge network to allow wired and wireless end-user devices to connect to corporate resources. We also need a core network to connect the edge wired and wireless networks and servers. We require two local servers, one to support Active Directory/DNS/DHCP and one to be a file server. Finally, we need a second Active Directory server to run in the cloud for fault tolerance. Here are the requirements for my part. LOCAL FILE SHARE: Local Windows 2019 Server or NAS to act as a file server, plan on about 5TB of user data. You must specify the server brand and model, type, number, and size of drives, disk redundancy (RAID), CPU, NIC speed (2.5Gb or better), and amount of RAM. You must also include the required Windows Server licensing. Things to Consider (Hints): How beefy of a server do you need based on the requirements of Windows Server 2019, file sharing, and storing 5TB of total user data? What will the local storage look like (number and type of disk/SSD, RAID level, etc.)? Will this run on a physical server or will you virtualize? What licensing do you need to buy, Server Licensing (cores, CALs), virtualization, etc.? A good business class server, with extra storage, will run between $7,000 and $15,000 (not including Windows Server licensing). SERVER(S) BOM: List out the details of any the servers you recommend. In the description, indicate CPU, RAM, storage, and NIC in each server. In addition to the hardware, there should be line items for the required software licensing. The BOM should include Make, Model/Part #, Description, Quantity, Unit Price, and Total Price. The description should show that your recommendations meet *all* the requirements. Include one-time and ongoing prices/costs. Computer Science Engineering & Technology Networking IS 4440 [Show More]
