CIS 532 Week 10 Assignment 5 Technical Term Paper

(Part B) NEW

Due Week 10 and worth 150 points

The Technical Term Paper will include the detailed
response to the network design request. The
document will be submitted in MS Word and will be
between 10-15 pages with graphics embedded within
the document.
Background
You are a small network design company called Wide-
IP that is looking for that big break. As the CTO of the
Wide-IP company, you recently made a persuasive
presentation of your company’s approach to
designing networks at a large industry event. The CEO
of Fiction Corporation, a large retail chain, was
impressed by your presentation. It looks like you’ve
finally got your break!
You have a small team of 10 technically proficient
staffers with a strong background in project
management, networking, and internetworking skills
that include PMP, Network+, CCNP, and CISSP
credentials.
You have been selected by Fiction Corporation to
develop a network design document and plan without
an RFP.
Overview
Fiction Corporation, a large national retail chain of
10,000 employees and 500 retail outlets, is migrating
its one primary data center operation to a new
headquarters building several miles away. The
company wishes to upgrade its network and correct
any security flaws in its infrastructure as part of this
move. The Fiction CEO has informed you that the
capital budget for this migration cannot exceed
$500,000 and must not interrupt business operations.
What follows is a brief background that will serve as
your foundation in developing the network design.
The data in the center supports remote retail
locations, an off-site 100 seat call center and 3 remote
warehousing operations 24 hours a day with annual
uptime at 99.9%. Any significant downtime to its
production systems would impact Fiction
Corporation’s operations and profitability. From the
data processing viewpoint, the move includes 2 large
UPS, 4 RS/6000 AIX application servers, 10 virtualized
servers and 20 PC servers.
The network consists of approximately 500 remote
location retail stores connected via frame relay (with
ISDN backup) to 10 routers at the data center running
a common LAN shared by the entire organization. The
retail operations also run WLANs that are on its own
subnet. You will have a T1 link and ISDN as a primary
backup. Network managers also need to monitor the
status of remote systems. The SNMP management
system must be able to detect and report failure of the
remote system or its communications link and the
status of individual applications.
The company wishes a seamless migration that
minimizes impact to its customers and employees.
Any gaps in this background will require you to make
 sound technical and persuasive assumptions that
satisfy the customer’s goals that are within the budget
guidelines.
You were selected in part due to your detailed
analysis and agreement to an implementation cost
that will not exceed $500,000. Your network migration
plan will be in phases with noted milestones. Key to
the success of this plan is the availability of a T1 link
between the remote sites to support remote bridging
and development of configurations for all the remote
routers.

Your assignment must follow these formatting
requirements:
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman
font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides;
citations and references must follow APA or school-
specific format. Check with your professor for any
additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the
assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s
name, the course title, and the date. The cover page
and the reference page are not included in the
required assignment page length.
 The specific course learning outcomes associated
with this assignment are:
• Design a systematic network architecture plan in
accordance with network design steps.
• Summarize among scalability, availability,
performance security, manageability, usability,
adaptability, and affordability as they relate to
internetworking product selection.
• Design a network topology to include hierarchy,
redundancy, modularity, and security.
• Create a network security plan inclusive of
identifying and analyzing network assets, security
risks, security requirements, and security policy.
• Develop network management strategies to include
resource monitoring and data collection and
interpretation.
• Describe processes that address performance,
faulty, configuration, security, and accounting
management.
• Compare and contrast the selection of technologies
and devices for campus and enterprise networks that
include remote access networks, WANs, service
providers, end user remote access devices, central
site remote access devices, VPN concentrators, and
routers.
• Develop network design testing procedures through
services, tools, and testing scripts.
• Describe optimal network design for critical
business applications to include effective use of
bandwidth and satisfying QoS requirements.
• Develop a comprehensive network design document
• Use technology and information resources to
research issues in network architecture and analysis.
• Write clearly and concisely about network
architecture and analysis using proper writing
mechanics and technical style conventions.
