Small Enterprise / Organization :
ABC Ltd (IT Solutions Provider) has departments/sections like
HR

Marketing
Project and Technical Support Team
have members of 10,10,30,60,30,30 and 40, respectively.
ABC has corporate offices at Pune and Regional offices at Delhi and Bengaluru. Employees Count at Delhi and Bengaluru will be less compared to corporate office. (50 % Only). For example, Software Development Team has 60 at Corporate Office 30 at Regional Offices.
The Corporate Office has 6 Floors, and the regional office has 3 Floors. Each Floor has capacity of 150 Seats. Expected growth will be 100% increment on the employees count each section every year from the startup count. For example, HR Employees' count in the third year will be 40. (0 Year – 10 1-Year –20 2 Year –30 and 3 Year –40). Network Design scalable for up to 3 years and reliable too.
Assume that office has structured cabling with plenty of MM fiber between the floors. Each Floor has a length of 75 Meters. The regional office and corporate office connected with 1000 Mbps MPLS Cloud for Intranet and for the internet they connected with 500 Mbps Leased Line with their location Internet Service Provider.
Corporate Office has Server Form with Network Hub has network devices with 20 Physical Servers for the office automation and testing environment for Software development Team, 2 web servers facing with internet for development team to test their applications.
Since you are being a Network Manager - you must design the Network Hierarchical Model and Security too. If you encounter ambiguities, make reasonable assumptions, and proceed. For all tasks, use the initial customer scenario and build on the solutions provided thus far. You can use all documentation, books, white paper, and so on.
In each step, you act as a network design consultant. Justify your ideas when they differ from the solutions provided. Use any design strategies you feel are appropriate.
