...Integrative Network Design Project Kudler Fine Foods is one of the biggest and fastest growing food companies in the Unites States. Because of this fast expansion there are expected and often increased goals that must be done in order to keep all parts of the company working as they should. One of these areas that must be kept up to date and secured at all times is its integrated network. Again because of the company’s recent growth there will be challenges that will happen especially with the network so a good integrative network design must be developed in order to continue this positive trend both in present and in the future. Kudler Fine Foods is taking the next step to upgrade the existing infrastructure with new wireless technology which will provide a better communication link for not only all of the stores, but for all of the employees as well. Kudler Fine Foods wants to implement a new network design that will connect their three locations that is spreaded out across the U.S. With the new systems and servers the ability to maximize the company’s profits will increase overnight. This new inventory system will allow the stores POS systems to alert the warehouses to ship more products when they are running low automatically. This will eliminate the need of wasted man hours checking the stock. Using a Wide Area Network (WAN) would be the best choice for connecting the three locations together. They also want to implement a communication system throughout the network...

...Integrative Network Design Project Abstract Kudler Fine Foods is currently seeking to connect three locations via a Wide Area Network (WAN), create a wireless local area network (WLAN) in each store and add a voice over internet protocol phone system throughout the network. The purpose of this paper is to lay out a design that will accomplish these goals and includes the ability to expand beyond the current stores. Hardware and Software All computer networks are comprised of hardware components and software. Kudler Fine Foods has three locations and each of these locations require their own hardware components. The software components of the network will also need to be installed at each of the locations. The hardware components of the network, that will be located at each site, are a router, switch, firewall, end nodes, and wireless access points. A router will be used to allow each site to communicate with the other locations. A switch will be used to connect all of the point of sale terminals and user terminals with the router. A hardware firewall will be placed between the internet and the router to prevent unauthorized access to the system. The term end node refers to any device that is connected to the end of the wired or wireless network. End nodes, or end devices include user desktops, point of sale terminals, and server in this particular case. The wireless access points will be configured to only allow company approved devices access. The devices that are...

...Integrative Network Design Project II Communications protocols are where the rubber meets the road when discussing communications between computers. These protocols set the parameters for computer communication and allow them to communicate in an organized manner. Without protocols a network would be worthless and very ineffective. The protocols help not only in preventing errors but they also provide a way of tracking down errors by giving the user a systematic process to check for possible repairs. Some of the main things protocols do are: 1. Provide private communication capabilities. 2. Give users the ability to authenticate traffic. 3. Organizes packets (Packets are data organized in a specific format containing user information/ handling instructions). 4. Provide a way to pinpoint errors in communication. The proposed changes to the system are based on the technical vulnerabilities caused by using hardware/software and wiring that is old or not optimal. The current protocols used are acceptable but need to be overhauled in order to provide Kudler with faster communication over long distance. Uniformity of the network is obvious in the current Ethernet network set up built over T3 100 base connections and the versatility of the Novell 4.11 server is a plus; but the Novell uses an Internet Package Exchange/Sequence Package protocol (IPX/SPX). This protocol is generally supported but not globally supported like TCP/IP. The IPX/SPX protocol works great with Intranet/Intraware...

...Integrative Network Design Project Shaquita Boss NTCC/362 October 19, 2015 Peter Fortuna Kudler Fine Foods Kudler Fine Foods was established in 1998 from a vision of a very motivated and passionate gourmet cook by the name of Kathy Kudler. The vision came about when the frustration of having to travel around town to gather ingredients for what she thought was an untroublesome dinner. Kathy then decided to establish her very own gourmet food shop. The first store was opened in La Jolla, California. After just two short years of the La Jolla store opening, her second location was open for business which is located in Del Mar, California. The third Kudler Fine Foods was opened in 2003 in Encinitas, California. Kudler Fine Food Topology Current Topology Network Topologies Kudler’s Fine Foods all use the same Hub for connectivity. The Hubs that they are currently using are ancient history compared to today’s technology. Kudler Fine Foods currently use what is call a bus topology were all stations are attached via cable taps to a single length of cable. Each station sends signals and is able to detect signals on the bus. The bus topology connects each computer on the network into something called the segment trunk. A bus is usually referred to a cable that connects end to end and this is used to transmit the signals from one end to the other end. At every end a terminator is placed so that it understands in which direction the data is traveling and also the terminator...

...Integrative Network Design Project, Part 1 NTC/362 September 9, 2013 Integrative Network Design Project, Part 1 Introduction Kudler Fine Foods is known for the retail Gourmet Foods. They have three locations in San Diego, CA. Those Locations are the La Jolla, Del Mar, and Encinitas. Kudler Fine Foods was first founded by Kathy Kudler in 1998. Characteristics and Components When looking at possible system failure we need to take into account Kudler’s current system. Kudler’s Fine Foods 3 offices have almost identical setups, Novel 4.11 for their servers, along with POS systems and their office site connectivity. They all use the same bus network topology for connection for their onsite connectivity. By using this computers connects to a central bus that runs along the entire network and the information is then passed throughout the entire network. Looking at each location their local area connection uses dial up modems which all of their computers connect to a database system that is housed within the company. Current Network Topology Using outdated equipment does have some several drawbacks. The company’s network also hosts many computers all of which runs on windows 98 as their operating systems. Each of the computers host in this network boasts a 56k modem that is only capable of 56k speeds to access out of the company’s network.
