Campus Network Design Fundamentals

Introduction
This all-in-one book tells you what you need to know, why you need to know it, and how to apply this knowledge to create a campus network that includes as many or as few of today's technologies as you require. This book starts, in Part I, "Designing Networks," with an introduction to the design process, network design, and some models that can be used as a design is developed. We then describe, in Part II, "Technologies: What You Need to Know and Why You Need to Know It," fundamental technologies in detail, including not only the mechanics of each but also why the technology can be important for your design. Examples are included throughout the book to emphasize how the concepts can be implemented. The book concludes with Part III, "Designing Your Network: How to Apply What You Know," a comprehensive case study about a fictitious company called Venti Systems, a manufacturer of high-end automotive power modules. Venti Systems is in the process of acquiring two other companies: one is located close to Venti, in eastern Canada, and the other is located on the West Coast of the United States. A new headquarters will be home for the combined operations of Venti and for one of the acquired companies, to achieve better synergy and to consolidate personnel and manufacturing facilities. The second acquired company will remain in its current West Coast facilities as a branch office. The design methodologies discussed in Part I and the technologies discussed in Part II are applied to this case study, as appropriate.
