toc =Executive Summary:=

The purpose of this upgrade was to increase reliability, stability, security, and maintainability. Outdated hardware became a bottleneck leading to a loss of sales. The network, while small, is still a necessary component of the day to day operations of Bombers. If the network is down credit card transactions cannot be processed. As technology increases, the use of it increases with it. With that said the implementations shown throughout this wiki will prove to be a quick and easy transition for both management and employees. By using Open source software and easy to use network monitoring tools it will be easy for the manager to monitor and analyze the network at will thus, saving money from hiring a third part. The main problem with Bombers network was there out-dated routers and modems. We can create a better work place by upgrading the modem and two routers to the newest and more efficient models. Making these changes to the hardware allows us to upgrade the internet service to 30 mbps. The total costs for all the hardware, software, and labor is only $1,521.40 The amount of problems we can avoid from these changes is well worth the money. The cost of this upgrade is minimal and could be obtained in a single day from burrito sales. While there aren't that many area's of savings the low cost transition would greatly enhance the current network infrastructure. The Benefits greatly exceed the costs which are again minimal.
