2. Overview  For our small business network there were many things to take into consideration. We needed to provide for at least ten employees to have remote access to the network and servers within the company.  To do this we also wanted to provide some room for expansion. To facilitate this we selected a few common parts between both the $10,000 and $20,000 budget.

3. Overview  In both budgets, we include a switch with 24 gigabit ports and 4 one gigabit uplinks. This allows for the company to at least double the size of its physical office.  We also provide 100 VPN licenses for both budgets. These VPN licenses provided the most licenses for a reasonable price. Fewer licenses could have been selected, but the price increase over fewer license packages was minimal.  One minor addition to both budgets that is easy to overlook, is a rack for the servers, switch, and router. We selected a reasonably priced rack for the five devices that we will be mounting.
