RE: New Job.

["Christian Moreland" <cgmmny () hotmail com>]

Some areas you should be concerned and this is just the beginning.........

1) Budget Requirements (All companies have them)
2) Managerial Requirements (Scope the project accordingly)
3) Number of users utilizing the network
4) Level of Scalability desired
5) Level of Redundancy desired
6) Circuit needs
7) Bandwidth needed for Applications transversing the network
8) Bandwidth needed for Nightly back-ups
9) Bandwidth needed for Data Synchronization
10) Level of Security

To be honest, I think your in over your head.
