This project is placed on Materials and Energy Research Center placed in Karaj. In this project I and my team rebuild the core of network as a data center. This phase of project was completed at March 2007.

Initial Conditions

  • There wasn't any documentation or order to undrestanding the network structure.
  • There wasn't any passive design and plan.
  • The network was completely flat.
  • The network was injured by viruses and worms.
  • There can be a lot of security holes.
  • Because of passive disordering any policy wasn't possible.
  • Because of this condition in best state the network could use 50% of bandwidth.
  • Because of passive disordering any policy wasn't possible.
  • Not enough workspace or for future developments.

Administrative Procedure

In this phase at first we redesigned network structure and remounted all of devices with a scalable standard and order. It next month, we adjusted the colling service, cleaning service, etc.

Results

  • Improvement and Documentation of Network's resources
  • Doing essential services and saving resource from damagement
  • Building server zone as a physical place
  • Using high-quality devices in most priority rules
  • Modification of network topology and omitting network loops
  • Ability of using all of uplink bandwidth
  • Making network scalable
