1. INTRODUCTION This document is a proposal for the implementation of a personalized service to setup your computer communication system with the World Wide Web and extreme measures for your data protection. I propose to Max Propane a solution that I called Internet connection package, which is a full scalable platform to connect the Internet world. The Internet connection package consists in the installation of a series of hardware and software features, which include a local area network, a server, and an Internet domain registration. 1.1 Background Internet connection package is the most efficient way to insure your presence on the Internet; I consider a global solution that a company can have to be connected to the Internet world. Internet connection package is a flexible modular platform, which allows an easy future expansion that a business can have. The modules that I offer are: x x x x x x A local area network (LAN) development and installation Internet domain registration with full maintenance. Electronic mail installation and configuration. Proxy service installation and configuration with the relative access list. Electronic mail antivirus installation. Firewall installation and configuration. 1

2 In this proposal the creation of your web pages and the installation of a file service are not included. These features can be installed at any time, and they can be added to the Internet connection package platform. I would like to underline that the antivirus will only control the electronic mail. If for any reason you decide to import some files inside your company using a floppy disk or a compact disk or any other way to transfer information, that is not an electronic mail, your personal computer is not protected from the Antivirus installed on the server. 1.2 Scope The Internet connection package includes the registration, the maintenance of the Internet domain, which can be max-propane.ca. Creation of a portal that gives the possibility to access your electronic mail when you are outside the company, using a common Internet browser. This will be useful when you need to check your electronic mail at home or anywhere else. This access can be done pointing on http://webmail.max-propane.ca. There are some modules that are not included in the Internet connection package because at this stage I am focused on the implementation of the essential structure of your network, and any additional modules can be installed at any time. The modules that I have excluded in this proposal are: x Creation of the web page, this means that the content of the site (http://www.max-propane.ca) will not be created x x File server installation (which allows a central files archive) Printer service (which allows a central management for the printer queue).

2. DISCUSSION 2.1 Approach The Internet connection package proposed to MAX PROPANE consists of the installation and the configuration of all the necessary hardware and software to reach a higher level of performance to have your own presence on the Internet world, and offers an open solution for any expansion on the Intranet and Internet world, see figure 1 Block diagram.

4 The hardware that will be installed is a complete dedicated local area network (LAN) composed of one switch, one adsl modem, one server and seven network cards to be installed on your existing personal computer. The Server is an IBM Server X205 that provides a recognized standard for performance and reliability. Off the shelf, this system has the requirement processing power, storage capacity and network device interfaces. By connecting this server with a100 Base-T fast Ethernet with the 3COM switch right on the local area network. An UPS will provide the functionality of the server in any circumstances. The function of a Unit Power Supply (UPS) is to avoid any short power failure and any surge that can be present in the power distribution. This unit, the APC unit SmartUPS 1000VA, is the most reliable item on the market. The interconnectivity to Internet is granted by a direct connection in the city backbone on PPP over Ethernet, which offers a high level of reliability. The switch will be a 3COM that provides a recognized standard on the network device with a high reliability and performance, meeting all the necessary functions required for the local area network. The local area network (LAN) is a CAT.6 standard, which offers the possibility of any future upgrade of your existing network till 1000 Mega bits. The installation will be done by qualified personnel, which will test and certify the local area network for the CAT.6.

5 The network cards are 3COM 100 BASE-T Fast Ethernet, which guaranty reliability and full compatibility with a wide range of hardware and software configuration. The installation on the existing personal computer includes the set-up of the driver and the configuration of the existing software related to the use of the local area network. The software on the server is considered the most reliable and highest performance available, based on the Linux operating system; in details, I use the Debian distribution that grants the highest standards of security. The server installation includes all the services and configurations needed; in details I install an electronic mail service that is operated by the postfix software. This software, in conjunction with an antivirus can controls every single electronic mail to and from your network. The electronic mail antivirus is based on AMAVIS, which is a script that analyses the body and the attachment of any electronic mail and verifies the presence of any viruses; to be able to accomplish this task, the Amavis uses the McAfee engine, one of most secure antivirus package available nowadays. The proxy service is based on squid, full-featured web proxy, the most performance and configurable software. The http server is based on Apache, which is used in at least 60% of the http servers worldwide, and its function is to manage your web page, which you can be implemented in the future. The web mail portal that is OpenWebMail. The firewall service is based on iptables, which block any tentative of intrusion and log all the incoming and out coming traffic .

6 The log from the proxy server and the http server are analyzed and processed with webanalyzer, which automatically generates the report to monitor the utilization of the web mail portal and the Internet. On picture 1, you can see a graphical connection representation, and on table 2 a user utilization, from where you can see the amount of traffic generated from any personal computer.

7 All these software are recognized among the Internet community as the most efficient and performable on the market. With the Internet connection package, I include a training session of your personnel. The training give them a general overview on the implementation and - utilization of the electronic mail system. A training for the normal administration of the system is also included and will consist on the explanation of the procedure for changing passwords, adding or removing electronic mail accounts and modifying of the Internet access list. 2.2 Result

The Internet connection package provides a dedicated solution required for a reliable connection to Internet. It is a modular and secure environment to develop any Internet service and it guarantees the investment, with the ability for any future expansion that Max Propane should afford in the near future. It can be a web page of your company, an intranet application or an automatic system to acquire the booking of the delivery etc. The Electronic mail with the antivirus protection guarantees the security of the incoming and outgoing electronic mail. The proxy provides all the necessary capabilities to control all the Internet traffic generated from your company to the Internet world with an extensive access controls. This control can offer the possibility to create particular rules related to the connection to Internet - (For example: you will be able to decide who is authorized to access Internet or who can only visualize specific sites, etc.).

8 The proxy provides a full log system to monitor any activities of the outgoing traffic. The firewall provides packet filtering, network address translation (NAT) and other packet mangling, is a generic table structure for the definition of rule sets, which protect Max Propane from any intrusion from outside, and protects all your information. The Web Mail provides the capability to access your electronic mail outside the company, with an authentication process to control the access of the resources; this can be helpful when any of your employees are away from the office and they need to access there personal electronic mail. The Internet connection package gives Max Propane the right tools for a correct access to the Internet world without having any worries related to unwanted intrusions. 2.3 Statement of Work To achieve the goals of this proposal, the following tasks will be accomplished: x Purchasing of all the necessary equipment; transportation, unpacking, assembling and placing them in the work area (4 Hours) x Purchasing of the domain, and configuration of the domain name system (DNS), which includes the creation of the third level domain (1 Hours) x x Installation of the local area network (12 Hours) Installation of the network card on your existing personal computer, configuration and verification.
