Essay / Research Paper Abstract
An 8 page overview of system design which could be critical in times of warfare or natural disaster. The author emphasizes that infrastructural aspects of a network must be in place prior to the eruption of a disaster. The primary consideration for system design is the ability to handle increased network traffic, a consideration which can be accomplished in a number of ways but which would most efficiently be accomplished utilizing Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). Bibliography lists 9 sources.

War or even natural disasters can present a number of problems for the computer network. Because networks could be one of the most effective means of communication during disaster
situations considerable forethought needs to be devoted as to how to prepare for such events to minimize the problems which might occur. Such forethought would obviously pay off in
system efficiency during normal times as well. One of the most obvious problems which must be addressed in designing systems is how to allow for times of increased usage,
whether those times result from disaster situations or simply peaks in access needs during normal operation. The most effective means to this solution is optimum system design.
The most common element affecting system performance in a network environment during both times of disaster and times of normal usage is hardware configuration.
Two of the most critical elements in the configuration for domain controller are processor speed and RAM. Table 1 (reproduced from Microsoft Corporation, 2002) details some of the common
elements in domain sizing and how those elements relate to capacity planning using a Windows NT server 4.0. Table 1. Domain Sizing and Capacity Planning for
