Novice at best looking for a bit of help.
Currently undertaking a building expansion and need to connect to the existing infrastructure , add new phone system and new wireless network. Choosing the right gear is not my best attribute and could really use some input from the SW community. Too many choices!!!.
Current setup:
Network includes approx 45 nodes (PC, Mac,printers, etc) attached to a single 2008R2 DC.
Wireless is a mix of consumer Routers configured as access points.
Two HP 2524 switches funnel the traffic
New setup:
Ruckus wireless (10 aps / Zone Director 100) with Guest/Public and Staff/Private access
Gateway/UTM/Content filtering (?)
Core switch at existing MDF for routing/vlans (?)
Poe switch(s) to drive new IP phones (16) , new APs (4) and to allow future capacity for (70 outlets/wall jacks)
MDFs between the buildings will be connected via 12 strand fiber.
Guest wireless network will need to accommodate 800-1000 (iOS, Android)
Wired network will need to accommodate 50-60 devices (PC,Mac,Printer,etc).
Budget is $6k (not including Ruckus system)
Would appreciate any suggestions, recommendations or ideas.
I've attached a rough diagram for clarity (I hope).
