Fault tolerant enterprise networks for large scale organizations

Abstract

Enterprise Networks are private computer networks that are owned by a single organization in order to connect their various offices in order to share computer resources.
Enterprise Networks are different from other networks in a sense that an enterprise network may or may not completely comprise of uniform type of network. Often it is a combination of different type of networks like Ethernet, wireless, Voice over IP, etc.
Enterprise Networks are very secure and robust in nature. An attempt has been made to provide different examples of how a network designer or a network manager can make good use of the available protocols and known methodologies. Enterprise networks vary from other networks in terms of their sophistication and robust nature.
As far as the design principles of Enterprise Networks are concerned a network designer must ensure the security of the network along with all the properties mentioned in this document. These networks require a lot of configuration expertise and experience from the network designer and the network manager.
This document explains the best practices done in the designing and troubleshooting of Enterprise Networks for Large Scale Organization.
