RE: One computer two different networks



You must consider the cost of the solution. You must need to know that how
sensitive is your data? So whether you for another 250 computers, or any
hardware firewall appliance or whatever, you must have to consider the cost
of the solution compare to your data.

Security-wise, it would be more appropriate to separate the networks.
Finance-wise, it would be infeasible to supply two machines for each
employee. Perhaps install a small number of computers (less than half the #
of employees) can be supplied on a sharing-basis with priority on
business-related matters.

As for installing Virtual machines on company systems, I'm a little hesitant
in suggesting something like that. The effort required by the I.T.
department to support this might be a little less optimal.
Since I know nothing about the OP's systems, I'm assuming everyone's using a
standard P4. Even on my P4 1.8, having a VMWare system running, slows down
the system. The only way this would work is if the I.T. department created
a standard Internet-Accessible guest O/S (*Nix based, since I don't think
you'd be legally permitted to have x # of machines running the same Windows
guest) and then install a virtual machine player, i.e. VMWare player.

Mind you, I do know that virtual machines are used in a development
environment; but it just adds another 'factor'
in maintaining a single system's integrity.

That's just my $0.02.
