A car manufacturing organization plans to procure new computers for its three departments, Front Office, Design, and Back Office. The Front Office is responsible for:
" Managing all external and internal inquiries and concerns, and answering them by either telephone or e-mail.
" Creating office notices and distributing them to specified departments.
" Maintaining attendance records of staff members and saving them on the server computer in the Back Office.
The Design department creates designs for new cars and modifies existing designs. The staff members in the Design department work on Computer Aided Design (CAD) applications to create 3-D designs.
The Back Office runs a server that works as the central application server for the organization. The Front Office uses the attendance application running on this server and saves the attendance records of staff members on this server.

I would grab a cheap VM server, set up 3 images for it (front, design, and back) and thats pretty much how I would organize it, I would probably have a few pcs set up just for auto cad though... But I haven't taken any courses in this type of thing so im not the most reliable info giver :)

You might want to consider the amount of data the CAD operators will eat through. I got bonus marks on that very question for putting them all on FDDI (it was the days before cheap GigE!) as the amount of data they needed to move would saturate 100Mbit connections.
