Business Needs

In this section, you will assess the business needs of the company. Use the information provided in the scenario to analyze the need for infrastructure or equipment. If you need more information, feel free to ask your instructor or make some assumptions. If you make some assumptions, be sure to list them.

Proposed Topology

Select one or more topologies to use for this design. This section should be used to provide details of the selected infrastructure or equipment. Include the model, manufacturer, features, and cost.

Example

We are proposing the construction of a basketball court at our campus. This can be constructed behind our main building where the current overflow parking lot is located. The court will be a full regulation-size basketball court [1]. The typical measurements of a regulation-size basketball court are as follows:

Area | Measurements |

Court length | 94 ft |

Court width | 50 ft |

Rim height | 10 ft |

Restricted arc radius | 4 ft |

Center circle diameter | 12 ft |

3-point line distance from the basket | 23.75 ft |

Key (shaded lane or restricted area) width | 16 ft |

Free-throw line distance from point on the floor directly below the backboard | 15 ft |

The court will cost approximately $20,000 and will include such features as the company logo, a state-of-the-art lighting system, and...
