Network Diagrams/Configurations

[himom]

Hello Peers:

 

I am attempting to build a new office network - optimized for network rendering tasking as well as daily operations, backup, etc. I'm a bit 'grassroots' in the way I've adopted technology; over the years, I've cobbled together a network that functions but is far from efficient/automated/or accessable remotely. I would love to see what others are doing from the standpoint of a notated network diagram. Perhaps we could all learn a thing or two about what hardware works and what hardware is a waste of time (server vs. NAS RAID drives) or just a time hog in regards to management.

 

Thanks in advance for your input!

Maximum PC gave this a good review and I will be trying it out tonight when I get home:
