How should I make this network for my assignment?

Hi Experts

I have the follow assignment in short. I would just like some imput on idea I can look at for it. I myself would like to do this report in two parts - One Windows Network & One Linux Network.

You need to put in a solution that will cover the following requirements with these limitations for the following layout.

Requirements:
Secure traffic to & from each remote location
Email services
Network Authentication
File services
Virus Protection
Backup Strategies
Redundancy for core services (email, file shaing, authentication)
Staff need to move between locations

Limitations
You only have $40,000 to spend
You can not change the internet plans

You will need to come up with the best solution within the budget of $40,000 for a company. This company has its main office & two other branch offices. The head office has 50 staff & an internet connection of 1/20mbps up/down. The two branches both have 10 staff & internet connections of a 512/512kbps up/down.

You may use Windows or Linux/Unix to set your network up on.
A combination of both Windows & Linux/Unix is acceptable providing it will work.

The staff moving to & from location means one or more staff members will go from one location to the other. We were told to plan the locations as having a distance of 500miles between them.
So we have to make sure when a staff member would go to another location for the week they can work like normal in the remote location.
Yea, if both locations have internet connection. Buy a hardware firewall router device that supports VPN. That way it will be like being in the same office
