Will the network be peer to peer or server


EBiz.com has 250 networked computers, five servers, and uses a star topology wired network to reach employees' offices, with a bus interconnecting three floors in its office building. Because of a staggering influx of Internet business, the network administrator's task is to boost network performance and availability as much as possible.

The company also wants a network design that's easy to reconfigure and change because workgroups form and disband frequently, and their membership changes regularly.

All computers must share sensitive data and control access to customer files and databases. Aside from the customer information and billing databases, which run on all servers, employees' desktop computers must run standard word-processing and spreadsheet programs.

1. What type of topology should be used in this network?

3. How many computers will be attached to the network?

4. What kind of networking device is easiest to reconfigure?
