Question

Jerry is a relatively new member of a project team that is developing a retail store management system for a chain of sporting goods stores. Company headquarters is in Las Vegas, and the chain has twenty-seven locations throughout Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. Several cities have multiple stores. The new system will be a networked client–server architecture. Stores will be linked to one of three regional servers, and the regional servers will be linked to corporate headquarters in Las Vegas. The regional servers also link to one another. Each retail store will be outfitted with similar confi gurations of two PC-based point-of-sale terminals networked to a local file server. Jerry has been given the task of developing a network model that will document the geographic structure of this system. He has not faced a system of this scope before and is a little unsure how to begin.

Explanation / Answer

First just start with the architectural design of the network by identifying all the exact locations. then plan how the network connection you want to be. Obviously we have to use VPN to the connect system with in the other geographical area. So start making requirements from here about how to build the network and how to make all the systems under one network. And how to build virtual private network to take all the systems under one roof.

Then make a requirement plan for the hardware based on the assumptions and requirements you had made
