You are a network administrator responsible for all network platforms and services.

The tita company currently has only one building which it houses the sole data center.
00:13
The cio indicates the company recently purchased a building next to the existing building that will house 150 employees.
00:20
What network requirements and recommendations would you make to the cio that will allow for employees in the new building to access the company land? so one of the key components to any office building are in regards to network connectivity are idf closets.

The idf stands for intermediate distribution frame.
00:45
And these are essential to housing networking components.
00:49
They also take all the network runs and deal with all the cable management for all the networking infrastructure for the buildings.
01:02
They also secure the networking components and facilitate them, meaning they just keep them cool and secure because usually network components run hot if they're just in a closet gathering dust.

And network drops would also be considered throughout the building.
01:20
And these are, the idf closets would house all the networking routers, the switches, things of the sort.

So we're given 150 users roughly...
