Where I work the previous people who setup and layed out our network did it in a real slapshot sort of way which now means things are generally overly complicated and less reliable than they should be. I have been given the task of designing what our network "should" look like then creating a plan to make it so over the next few years. Does anyone have any good resources they use as far as standards and best practices go? I'll be talking some some of our local contractors but I wanted to have a better idea as to what I was talking about going into this. Some of the key points I want to accomplish are:
Anyone have any good pointers as to where to get started or suggestions on some things to look at?
- Segment Workstations from Servers, different subnet & firewalled
- Have a public and private wireless network
- I'll need to include an area to do web filtering
- Have a DMZ
- Incorporate redundancy/high availability where possible and reasonable
