Your Opinions and Suggestions on Network Design.

Hi.

I am using Swithed Erthernet as LAN to handle a large volume of data to be processed by the network.

Now, there is one more condition is there a large warehouse in the other side of the town. For tracking and workflow purposes, the warehouse needs to be in constant communication with the head office. I need to come out with the alternative connectivity between the head office and the warehouse.

My question whether should I use dial-up, ISDN or something else for the connectivity between the head office and the warehouse?



Another question is the components that I use:

- Should I use hub, switch, gateway or something else to increase the performance of the network? This is more to the network design.

For LAN, I am using Switched Erthernet. And I need to connect to the warehouse to fulfill the needs of constant communication between warehouse and head office.

I really have no idea on how to design this network to take the cost in the consideration.



I just need some of your opinions and suggestion on this matter.

Thank you.
