...UMUC Frederick MD Network Proposal UMUC Frederick MD Network Proposal 1 UMUC Frederick MD Network Proposal 2 The network IP addressing scheme for the Frederick MD building should be designed to ease network management. A well thought out network subnet design enables administrators to quickly locate computers by IP address by building floor and room, and whether the computer is a server, a student computer, staff computer or instructor’s computer. A proper subnet design will also minimize broadcast traffic that decreases network performance, by reducing the total number of computers allowed in each broadcast domain. A proper subnet design will also provide for efficient use of IP addresses by including only the number of IP addresses in each subnet necessary to support current computers plus a few additional IP addresses for immediate expansion when required. To differentiate subnets by IP address, student subnets start with a “1” in the third octet, staff subnets start with a “2” in the third octet where “10” in the second and third digits designates the location to be floor 1, “12” designates the location to be floors 1 and 2, “10” designates the location to be floor 1, “20” designates the location to be floor 2, and a second digit of “4” designates office staff and a second digit of “5” designates Admissions staff. The broadcast and network numbers have been removed from the IP address ranges below. UMUC IP Subnets Computer Lab 1 student subnet...

Since the organization is lodging understudy individual data and also managerial resources and organization data, it is fundamental that the framework is still utilitarian, solid, and secure. PC systems have considered this innovation and are presently separated of verging on each business. The building housing some offices, classrooms, a library, and computer labs has two choices with regards to setting up a system. They can utilize a totally wired system, which utilizes organizing link to associate PCs, or they can utilize a remote system, which utilizes radio frequencies to interface PC. Remote systems or commonly called wireless network have permitted associations to wind up more versatile; in this way, associations are currently utilizing a blend of both wired and remote systems. They fundamental equipment format for the two sorts of systems are genuinely comparative yet for an association to go remote it requires a couple of more equipment parts. In spite of the convenience nature of computer system, they do open the association up to security and protection dangers. In the event that an organization is confronted with a security they are ways that they can alter and forestall future security dangers.

...planning or designing a computer network. Such factors include meeting the needs of the business, traffic and bandwidth requirements, budget considerations, scalability, etc. "Scalability refers to the extent of network growth that should be supported. For corporate network, scalability is a major consideration. Provision must be made to add users, applications, additional sites, and external network connections" (TutorialsWeb). It is important to have a system or methodology to follow to ensure you account for the necessary and critical aspects of the design process that will provide the best possible network solution for your company. The first step is considering the needs of the business. This is accomplished by understanding what the company does, how they currently function and operate to generate revenue, as well as having a good understanding of the company's business model. Once you have a good understanding of the company's business requirements, you can then determine specific design requirements. The second step then is defining the technical requirements of the network based on the information gathered from assessing the needs of the business. In this step of the planning process, technical considerations such as performance requirements, availability, scalability, standards compatibility, and rapid deployment are evaluated (Hummel). Only when these first two steps are followed in this order will you succeed in designing a network that best suits the customer and...

...PropAdvwork Proposal University of Maryland University College Shiv LLC will greatly benefit from using Windows Server 2012 to manage their network. Windows Server 2012 brings great updates to security and functionality over past editions of Windows. In this proposal, the major areas I will cover are Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, File Services, Remote Services, and WSUS (Windows Server Update Services). These major roles have features that will make Shiv LLC Company’s infrastructure run smoothly. Active Directory Shiv LLC will have sites across a large geographic location. Because of this, a regional domain model should be used. Domains will be broken down into where users are working. For example, currently Shiv LLC has three locations, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Houston. This means there will be three domains, representing each of these cities. This strategy will make sure the network can be maintained by regional administrators, who will only worry about users in their area of the network. With this style of deployment, it can be difficult to decide what will be the forest root domain. The main staff for the company is in two cities, Dallas and Houston. This makes it difficult to make one of these sites the forest root domain. To make this decision neutral, a dedicated forest root domain can be suggested. This domain will be created only to function as the forest root. It will not contain and users, except for service administrator accounts for the forest root....

...SAMPLE TECH WRITING PROPOSAL INTRODUCTION AND DISCLAIMER This is an altered version of a real Tech Writing project submitted by a student and passed by an Evaluator. There is no guaranty that either the original version or this altered one would pass evaluation if submitted today. Despite our best efforts to provide consistent evaluation across all students and projects, Evaluators are human and are allowed latitude in grading. Additionally, your interpretation of what you see is likely to be different from the interpretations of others; in other words, even if you strictly follow the model of this paper, there is no guarantee of immediate success with your project. The original work was altered to mask the identity of its author and the various commercial products mentioned. References and their citations were also masked because no effort was made to determine whether other changes affected their validity. The inserted Comments indicate only that all required TaskStream sections are present, not that they are correctly completed for all types of projects. The best that can be said about the original work is that an evaluator found the work submitted to be sufficient to the task. Viewing this sample may or may not produce a similar result for you. Bottom line: You are the author of your work. We hope this sample helps to dissipate some of the uncertainty that surrounds the Capstone Project, but it cannot guaranty a trouble-free process.

...Information System Proposal May Tia Lee BIS/220 November 14, 2012 Ralph Schwehr Informational System Proposal The following proposal summary has been prepared by the Information Technology (IT) team describing a new information system required by our Advanced Services Network Consulting Engineers (NCEs). The information provided has been summarized and is intended to provide an overview of the proposed project. Executive Summary Within our organization we have a group of Network Consulting Engineers (NCEs) that provide Planning, Design, Implementation, and Operational (PDIO) services to contracted enterprise and service provider clients. On a number of recent occasions, it has come to light that one NCE is struggling with a design or planning issue that has already been addressed by another NCE. And in some cases, the solutions provided to our clients were not consistent between the NCEs. It has been determined a new system is needed that will provide an orderly and organized data repository that would be available to all NCEs. This system needs to provide an easy method for the NCEs to access and leverage previously defined design solutions. This system will provide several key benefits to the NCE team: ▪ NCE will be able to search for data related to the solution being considered ▪ NCE will save time in that we will not "reinvent the wheel" ▪ NCE provided solutions will be more standardized ▪ Using the same solution repeatedly simplifies supporting...
