What do you need to set up a network for five buildings three floors high with about 1850 users?

[Edit]

Answer

Contact an IT solutions company. This is way to big of a job for anyone without extensive knowledge in the field. It will likely require multiple servers, operating systems, lots of wiring, lots of computers, backup solutions, multiple internet connections w/routers, probably some wireless access points, tight security, etc. Depending on the configuration, the hardware alone will easily exceed a million dollars, and labor will likely run $100+ per hour. With that much money being thrown around, contract the initial installation and hire an internal IT department for day-to-day matters and to assist in the set-up. This system will cost a few hundred thousand per year to keep up, too, with the staff for the department.

Answer

Unfortunatley, I have to completely agree with the answer the previous user submitted, I wish I had better news for you, buddy

Answer

I would suggest mini server rooms in each building, local network cabinets on each floor, each buliding connected to each other by at least two links for redundancy. You would need from the infrastructure point of view, switches, routers, cabling, ports.

From the computer point of view you would need servers and workstations. You would need to consider Backups and replication, patch management and Anti virus, licencing software and firewalls.
