Replacement of old 10Mb 3-Com network hardware with modern Cisco gigabit routers and switches will provide remote management of all routers and switches and increases network bandwidth by over 1000 percent. Additionally, the Cisco hardware is more reliable as it provides redundant power supplies and built-in diagnostic firmware designed to detect problems with hardware before degrading network performance. With the addition of Cisco hardware, network up time should increase to approximately 99.9%. The security of any network is important, but is especially important when involving the privacy of clients of a law firm moving paper documentation to network storage. The Cisco network will provide this security, both in design and physical security of the network. At the same time the new network, using a secure virtual private network (VPN), will allow authorized employees of the law firm to access records from anywhere via the Internet. It will also provide, as a convenience to employees of ABC Law Firm, secure wireless access to the Internet in the company’s café.
