11. Seminar 1IT484 - Network Security11 The Hypothetical LAN Imagine a hypothetical LAN for a small 100-person business, Pixel Inc. The business occupies one floor in an office building. Everybody has a computer on his or her desk, and there are servers for the Web, file & print sharing, email, database, and a small 3D render farm, a rack of 20 dual processor Xeon servers running Red Hat Linux 9.0 that generates the actual high-resolution video animations that Pixel produces for its clients. The desktop systems consist of Apple G5 desktops running Mac OS X for the creative staff, and Windows XP PC computers for general use. The servers are Windows Server 2003 running Microsoft Exchange. The Web and file & print servers are PC computers running Red Hat Linux 9.0. Network hardware through Ethernet and the hardware is a mixture from Cisco and Hewlett-Packard.
