For this assignment, you will design the hardware and network configuration specifications needed to support the database and applications object of the IT design project. You will research and design a network conceptual diagram depicting the key components and configurations the network must have to house and host the designed databases and applications (servers, switches, routers, nodes, telecommunications lines, etc.) using network design or diagramming software like MS-VISIO or Cisco Packet-Tracer. The diagram must include the corresponding legends and the diagram file must be submitted along with a document detailing the hardware specifications and configuration. A sample conceptual diagram is shown below, along with the specifications document minimum criteria:
