Budget: RM10 Million

Existing Offices: Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong

New Offices: India, China, Japan, Australia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Korea and New Zealand.

Scenario: I need to interconnect the new offices to with the old. Maintain some exixting application on the mainframes and shift new applications to client server. Malaysia is the headquarters, which uses about 200 to 300 PCs. The rest of the offices vary according to size.

Question: How am I going to design a secure, reliable and high speed LAN and WAN infrastructure for all the new offices and revamp the designs of the old offices with only RM10 million? Impossible! I have to look in to the cables cost, router, switches, new servers, firewalls, and PCs. How about the data link to the various different countries? How about the OS and application licensing?

Answer: Don't give a damn about costing and fail the assigment.
