Explain how specific situations or business cases may lead to choices about networking

Some companies may perform business within itself only in this case a strong intranet needs to be setup.

If the company does business with other companies and wants to connect to the outer network then internet needs to be setup.

The price which the company is prepared to spent on setting up the network also determines the network. How many router, wifi hotspot, switches, cabling all determine the network infrastructure.

How much recurred the company wants their network to be. Installing software to block spam, advertisements and malware from entering network. Keeping the operating system software and user applications fully patched and updated. Insist on the use of strong passwords for all accounts, file-shares and encrypted data. Keep important systems physically secured in lockable server rooms as well.
