Introduction to Network Infrastructure Design

Welcome to the third in the three-part MCSE design series. Part one focused on designing an Active Directory infrastructure that included Domain Controllers, forests, trees, and sites. Part two concentrated on designing a secure network with authentication protocols, certificates, encryption, and permissions. This final installment will look at designing the overall network and placement of network services. The section headings and sub-headings that are used throughout this document are taken directly from the Skills Being Measured section of the Microsoft Preparation Guide for Exam 70-221 on the Microsoft web site. You can see the entire preparation guide at http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-221.asp

One thing to keep in mind as you read this tutorial is that the exam centers on design elements, not implementation details. An underlying assumption of the exam and therefore this tutorial is that you already understand how to install and configure the servers and network services mentioned throughout. The exam and this tutorial emphasize the decision process that would lead you to install the server or service in the first place. Or the business requirements and conditions that lead up to the installation and configuration of the first Domain Controller or first DNS server.

Analyzing Business Requirements

The first part of the design process is the information gathering stage. This is probably the most important, but least followed step in the design process. Before deploying the first DNS or Remote Access server, you need a firm grasp of exactly what the infrastructure of the company looks like presently and what the company wants it to be. The only way to do that is to talk to as many decision-makers in the company and ask as many questions as possible. Only then can you start to form the basis of the design.

All types of information will be gathered during this intelligence gathering process. This first piece of the information-gathering stage relates to all aspects of how the company conducts business -- the business model used, how it is organized, where they conduct business, and corporate strategies.

A note of warning - At a certain point in your quest for knowledge, you are apt to ask a sensitive question of a member of management that might question your motives. A question like "So, do we have any plans for merging with or acquiring any companies in the next year?" might be met with some skepticism (and a call to the security team!). If so, just fully explain the exact context of the question ("I'm looking at future TCP/IP addressing and network service requirements for the next year"). Many times, for obvious reasons, they will not answer the question directly, but will give you enough information for the design ("I can't answer that question, but I would plan for a year-to-year growth of approximately 15% of TCP/IP addresses").

Analyze the Existing and Planned Business Models

One of the first things you must do in order to produce the best possible network infrastructure design is to learn as much as you can about the business model (or models) the company uses. How the company does its day-to-day business now and in the future will have an enormous impact on the design. For example, many companies are moving into the e-commerce arena, so secure web sites and secure communications are priorities.

Analyze the Company Model and the Geographical Scope

Models include regional, national, international, subsidiary, and branch offices.

In a large sense, the scope of the company determines the scope of the infrastructure design. A multi-national corporation with 200,000 employees in 80 countries around the world has much different infrastructure design requirements than a local Mom and Pop hardware company with 5 employees. That is not to say that there are not similarities or that one is more important than the other, they're just different and those differences will be reflected in the infrastructure design.

The Branch Office model is used by medium-size companies and larger. It is normally the smallest of the different types of geographic locations. From an infrastructure point of view:

Moving up in size is the Regional Office model. If the company spans a single geographic section of the same country, a Regional model is implemented. This can be viewed as a gathering point for all branch office locations in the same, general geographic area. In a large corporation, for example, instead of having 50 branch office locations dial-in to the headquarters' server to upload sales figures for the day, several regional offices would connect to the headquarters' server with the branch offices in each region dialing-up to their corresponding regional office. From an infrastructure point of view, in addition to the questions above:

A National model incorporates multiple regions across a wide geographic area, normally countrywide. With a National model, scalability is now a factor. An infrastructure design that might be well suited for one region with several branch offices may fall apart with 75 regions with 2,500 branch offices. Communication between regions is now a factor as is speed and reliability of the infrastructure (not that it wasn't important before but it's absolutely critical now). Scalability is one area that Windows 2000 really shines. Using Active Directory Sites and Routing and Remote Access services, remote locations can be treated just like any other part of the local network infrastructure.

The most challenging network infrastructure design is the International model. Whenever any type of data or intellectual property flows across national borders, it adds a significant level of complexity to the infrastructure design. Export laws, data encryption requirements, and translation services must be considered. Communication links between countries have to be managed - nothing that can't be overcome, just complex.

If the company has any relationships with other companies, then a Subsidiary model is used. This model introduces a whole new set of challenges to an infrastructure design. Now, company politics can come into play. However, keep the following in mind as you are designing for this model -- the other company, since they are a subsidiary of the parent company, must adapt to the requirements (not the other way around) because they will be connecting to the network. Your network, your rules.

Analyze Company Processes

Processes include information flow, communication flow, service and product life cycles, and decision-making.

Now that you have a clear understanding of where the company conducts its business, you must obtain a clear understanding of how the company conducts its business. What are the day-to-day processes that each department in the organization follows to get their work done? Every group, every area, every department, whatever nomenclature the company uses - from management on down. There is a popular saying: "Follow the money". We can use a derivative of that -- follow the data. This is called information flow or workflow. It describes how data is distributed throughout the enterprise. The following questions must be considered when detailing the flow of data within a company:

These questions should be asked of each process within the company that produces any type of data. You might think of it as a "data lifecycle." Data is "born," it is used, manipulated, communicated, acted upon, and finally stored or deleted.

The last question is a good one. Consider the data and communications flow related to an e-commerce web site and all the types of interdependencies the data and the communications have. Even though at first glance this type of process may seem very complicated, it becomes much easier to understand once the data is tracked from beginning to end along with how the data flows on the company network.

Once the information flow is established, the communications flow must be analyzed. Communications flow tracks the path that the data follows through the network infrastructure during the course of day-to-day operations. To assess the communications flow, the entire network infrastructure must be analyzed to identify where the data is stored and where the data travels. Since this could be a very large undertaking, you might divide the total network traffic into what hosts are generating or receiving the traffic, or by application. Whether breaking down the data by host or application, the following questions must be considered:

Service and product life cycles should also be taken into consideration when assessing data and communications flow. If a company has several products in development stages and several more in service, the data and communications flows will be different than for a company that is contracted to only provide service for products. If a product is soon to go out of service, what is to be done with its data? Will it ever be needed again? Does the product or service that the company provides depend on the season of the year? Tax season? Summer season (travel, cruise lines, entertainment)?

Lastly, in order to produce the best design, you must identify and interview the company decision-makers. The end users of the network will always have a different view of the world than the people at the top. They should always have a better overall view of the network and how it performs now and what they want it to do in the future. The odds of producing a quality network design are directly proportional to the number of decision-makers you interview.

Analyze the Existing and Planned Organizational Structures

Considerations include management model; company organization; vendor, partner, and customer relationships; and acquisition plans.

The organizational structure of a company is how the company is set up. Considerations include management model; company organization; vendor, partner, and customer relationships; and acquisition plans.

Management Model

The management model deals with ownership and control issues within the company. How is the company managed and who manages it? What are the functions of management? It is extremely important early in the design process to determine who is in charge and exactly what they are in charge of. These individuals have the final authority over the design. They also hold the dollars needed to implement the design. So, determining the management model is paramount to finding the right people to accept the design and, if changes are to be made, the people to approve the changes.

Management models can range from a simple "Mom and Pop" store all the way to a multi-national corporation with business partners and subsidiaries spread all over the globe.

Company Organization

This is the structure of the business and the departments contained within it. Is the company organized around business function or geography? This information will give you an overall view of what groups provide what services or products within the company. The simplest form of gathering and documenting the company's organizational information is to put together the classic hierarchal organizational chart. An organizational chart (or org chart) lists, from the very top of the business down, all the departments and groups within the business and how they relate to each other. For example,

Since we will be using this information as input for the design of a network infrastructure, you should go a step further and for each group listed in the org chart, list each data input the group needs and each data output the group produces. This will provide a more complete understanding of the data requirements for each group. This information can then be matched to the design to make sure that the data the group or department requires can be delivered to them. For example:

Human resources

Remember that we are only concerned with data inputs and outputs, not reports or other type of work product the departments produce or receive.

This will also bring into focus space planning requirements. For example, if one department's output data is very large, but destined for only one department, then by locating these two departments in the same building and on the same floor would take network traffic off the campus network.

Vendor, Partner, and Customer Relationships

The types of relationships that a company has with its vendors, partners, and customers will have an impact on the types of networking services provided in the design of the network infrastructure. Any type of connectivity or applications must be taken into consideration during the infrastructure design phase. For example, if a remote access server is to be deployed to allow access for vendors and partners, what changes will have to be made, if any, to the vendors' or partners' computers in order to connect to the company network? What if there is a security directive that states that smart cards are to be used. Are smart cards going to be issued to all vendors and partners or will there be an alternate communication link setup just for them?

Keep in mind that for each vendor or partner that is connected to the company network, it puts that more strain on the infrastructure's resources.

If customers are allowed to connect to the infrastructure, that brings new issues to the table. Regardless of the type of access allowed customers, the computer that customers connect to must be isolated from the rest of the company's intranet and sit in a DMZ. That way, if the worst happens, only the Web Server or Database Server that is in the DMZ will be affected -- the rest of the infrastructure will be unaffected.
