1) You are working with an organization as a network manager. The organization has

two offices in Abu Dhabi. Each office is equipped with 25 computers. The

management wants the smooth flow of information between both the offices and

does not want any delay.

a. Management has asked you to connect the computers in both the offices with

each other. What type of network will you suggest to them and what can be

some possible benefits of using that network?

b. The management wants that in the Head Office, there can be no access to data

from outside. Which type of network will be your preference to implement in

that case and what will be the benefit of that?

a. In this specific scenario, the best option would most likely be a site-to-site VPN. This would allow each office to be independently connected to the internet and at the same time be connected to each other securely and efficiently. There should be unnoticeable or no delay at all between the two offices and sensitive files will be completely secure. Therefore, the two offices can easily transfer data securely between one another without fear of the data being intercepted.

b. The same VPN network would work on the head office, but instead we can implement firewall restrictions to the head office network itself. These restrictions would prevent any or all incoming connections that are trying to request data from the local head office network. This would allow the head office to continue working without worry of unwanted intruders in their network.
