I need to setup a network for the company I work for. There are around 50 people in total and some work remotely so VPN is essential.
What we need..
1. Internal network / share files pending on user sign-in on pc's.
2. VPN connectivity from remote office/home.
3. Host websites (only a few to start) using MS SQL 2005 data access (must be secure).
4. Email delivery system.
5. UPS.
6. Backup solution.
7. Shared resource - 2x printers.
8. Want to send/receive faxes via users machines.
It is obviously very important only authorised people get access to internal documents via VPN or login.
Current equiptment/connection is:
2x ADSL lines load-balanced using Draytek Vigor 2900
5 statis IP addresses allocated to us
2x HP Procurve Switches (2524 I think)
1x HP Server (not sure which model, but it's pretty new)
My best guess is as follows:-
Use existing router with firewall activated
Use existing HP Server as a DMZ
Use existing switches
1 new rackmount server to host the website(s)
1 new rackmount server to host SQL Server 2005 (behind new firewall)
1 new rackmount server to control internal network
1 new storage rackmount device to hold all internal documents
1 new rackmount UPS for whole rack
I guess I would need to purchase MS Windows Server 2003 R2 on each machine or is there a license where 1 copy can be setup on each server?
Any links to example setup & configuration sites would also be most welcome.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. My knowledge is pretty limited but I would really like to get advise from an expert.
