Product Description
Network Planning and Design Guide teaches an effective methodology for planning and designing enterprise networks with relevant new technologies. It is a reference guide that efficiently explains principles, methodologies, technologies and case studies while remaining focused on the audience information needs. That is accomplished using a real-world design case study as the framework along with a structured methodology that teaches all phases of a design project. The case study is of a fictitious financial services company that is acquiring a smaller securities company and consolidating some offices. Methodology is presented that is used as a framework for planning, designing and implementing the acquisition and consolidations. In the case study of the financial company, real-world issues and strategies are addressed. Using a structured methodology, readers learn to review client requirements, assess the current network, specify infrastructure, recommend appropriate security and develop a management strategy. Readers will develop a proof of concept strategy, make any modifications, and build a design proposal. There is a discussion of how to implement the design with a structured implementation methodology.

The book might be useful to a system administrator with little prior experience in designing a network. Perhaps your background is more at the level of running a few machines and of dealing with issues at the operating system level. This might be for unix/linux or Microsoft. While both have utilities for networking access [of course], network design and administration is another expertise, which is addressed here.
Why you should have a firewall, and how to set it up, are key ideas. Gives you control over external attacks. And it lets you largely isolate your machines that typically have most of your data. The decisions as to what machines, and what runs on those machines, should be in the DMZ helps reduce your exposure. Nowadays, this often also maps naturally into a multi-tier web system.
The narrative is technically detailed enough to be useful at the design level.
