I'm a novice when it comes to network construction, yet I'm faced with the challenge of putting together my small business office. I'm hoping I can give a brief rundown of what I'm planning and would extremely appreciate any feedback of what I'm missing, what would be better, or what may not work.
We have 7 employees with 7 offices and a conference room. We also have a small cubicle area that can house 10 employees and we plan to move into that over the next few years. We want to go VoIP and link it with a TAPI compliant server which will also store our extensive client database. I will need a firewall that doubles as a router with prioritization capability. I'm not sure how many switches I will need or if I will need a dedicated IP for the telephony system. We want 90 down 10 up from our cable provider however I'm concerned about the phone clarity as dropping phone calls cannot be an option. Any guidance you may provide would be amazing. Thanks in advance!
