Help With Network Topology

leiaah
Hello. I have a school requirement in my data communications subject and I'm currently lost. It’s supposed to be a client-server model proposal for a hospital here in my city. I’m clueless with regards to computer networks and the hardware specs required for it. I have tried reading books about it but I’m still not quite sure about the PROPER network TOPOLOGY to be used in the kind of set up the hospital has. I don’t know any network administrators besides my teachers so I was hoping to come across with a few here. I just need OPINIONS regarding the kind of ARCHITECTURE and TOPOLOGY to be used and maybe the HARDWARE required (hubs, switches, servers?!). I have a centralized DATABASE in mind but I’m not closing on a distributed database yet. It’s all just a blur right now.

I don’t want people to think I’m letting people do my project but I really, really need someone to teach me HOW TO START with it because I’m really stuck. I’ve learned to use AutoCADD already and I’ve started with the floor layout and the first few paper works but until I get pass the TOPOLOGY, I can’t move forward to the budgetting and implementation plans.

If anyone here knows anything about what I’m talking about please, please help me out. It’s only a few computers, all currently stand-alone and there’s no network set up yet. Please post if you have questions so I can clarify things.

Please help me out! Thanks in advance to those who will.

Here’s a picture of the layout.

Im not sure what exactly you want here, do you want to overlay the workings of a network on this picture? I guess you will have to decide what kind of network you want. peer to peer? client/server?

Then you have to decide what the best topology would be for this particular setup.

I think If I remember right there are a few types of networks.

Token Ring network

I dont remember the rest but if you get a "network+" book you should have no problem with topology. cool.gif cool.gif cool.gif cool.gif cool.gif cool.gif tongue.gif biggrin.gif

What's required is a client-server model. The computers in the Admin and Billing room will share a centralized server but the Nurses' stations, Pharmacy and Information desk will only have limited access to the server.

    transfer rate, but what it does say is the difference in ping and such. One of my friends told me
