IMPROVE AND RENOVATE THE NETWORK SYSTEM
(LAN/WAN) OF THIEN LONG STATIONERY GROUP

Execution unit: HiPT Company
Total project duration: 90 days
Starting date of project: 01/04/2010.
Total budget for project: 90.000 USD

PROJECT INTRODUCTION
This is the project of improvement and renovation the Network system

(LAN/WAN), Server, Email of Thien Long Stationery Group. As establishment history,
from one small manufacturing company, nowadays, Thien Long develops strongly to
Group with larger scale from day to day. The existing network system, server and email
could not adapt to the increasing demand of development for both current and future
situation. Therefore, Thien Long Group has decided to create the Project of Improvement
and Renovation the Network system (LAN/WAN), Server and Email.
II/

OVERVIEW AND CURRENT STATUS OF THE NETWORK SYSTEM
1/ The Local- Area Network (LAN)
As existing infrastructure, the computer internal cabling network has been
built and used for a quite long time. In production process, arising from the demand
of developing the company in market, human resources as well as other equipment
serving for working as computer, this network is essential to be broadened and

expanded adapting need for each specific period of time. Gradually, the system is
changing to be different compared to the initial structure as well as the technical and
aesthetic features.
2


The current cabling system is rather complicated because it was not invested
synchronically and unifyingly. Since system being broadened temporarily with
issue-immediate-confronting idea, part of it was laid floating on the floor, worming
in the walls, another part was fixed by temporary string knots without protection
tube or by sticking-plaster (arising from the demand of working desk location
changing or adding more working plots). The existing cabling system is using
diversified kinds of cables with different quality standards (UTP CAT5) that leads
to the slow connected capability as multi-layer classification (the number of users is
increased, so system is broadened by add more switches and used any node to
uplink backward the previous switch). Internet connecting equipment (Hub,
Switch…) is not synchronized and could not be protected in good and safe
environment (protection cabinets, thermal dispersion…).
2/ Wide- Area Network (WAN):
Previously, due to the need of development was slow; there were only one
manufacturing factory and one office. However, these days, as the expansion and
demand of development be broadened, more and more factories, offices, stores,
agencies… are opened in different places across the country. From that, the demand
of connecting all those places appears. With the old system, it could not adapt the
increasing demand; therefore, it is necessary to build the wide-area network.
3/ Server system
Server system equipped before is becoming old with low configuration and
incapacity. Thus, the system could not meet the demand of improvement of Thien
Long Group.
4/ Email system

The old email system leading to common issues of email unable to be
received, email losing; spam mail often received, etc… moreover, the development
in number of employees, all of them making the email system could not adapt the
workload.

THE IMPORTANCE OF NETWORK SYSTEM RENOVATION
As analyzed above, the network, server and email renovation has significant
important role to business of Thien Long Group. In case not renovating and improving,
3


Thien Long Group has no chance to develop not only in current situation but also in
future.
IV/

OBJECTIVE, SCALE OF RENOVATING INVESTMENT

With the rise of information technology today, as well as the application of
informatics technology for work, business, and production, the execution of improvement
and renovation the current system is absolutely matched with increasing demand is
inevitable. It has to make sure the system work smoothly with security, data security and
good processing speed.
The renovation needs to be taken simultaneously and uniformly in large scale for
the purpose of synchronizing technical standard of cabling system, starting-terminal
equipment, server and email. During the work of new system, it is regulated that the
construction has no effects on current operation of existing system (the existing system
will be removed right after the new system is finished)
