Servers Specifications
In the company network, there are five different types of server should be installed for: Head Domain, Primary locations, Branches, File Server and Print server. Head Domain must be the most powerful network compare with the others because it has to control a whole network of the company. The workload of servers at two primary locations must be more powerful than their branches. The File Servers may be at low level because they only used to store the data and file. The Print Servers used to print services so they can be the same level with the File Servers.
For the Primary locations:
If a user needs 1 GB per year, it means that they need 360 GB of disk space for their current users in each location. If the number of users has increased by 25%, they also need an additional 90GB of disk space for the next year.

After finishing this assignment, I have learnt about how to set up a network connection in a company. Base on the company information, the primary location and the branches, we have to choose the most effective solution for the company. I've also learnt about the different kinds of servers and workstations while doing this assignment. Depends on the workload of each location, we need to choose the suitable servers for domain controllers, file servers and print servers. Moreover, I've learnt about the file structure and the NTFS permissions. I must also need to foresee the growing capacity of the company to create a suitable solution for the future.
