...VoIP Case Study Mark Watson Axia College of University of Phoenix VoIP Case Study The article discloses the case study on Seattle Times Co., a newspaper company, which is based on VoIP advantages regarding this organization. From what the article states, this company needs to have the best communications system possible. It also states that the company claims to have the same expectations and up time as hospitals do. This case study shows how the VoIP system would benefit the company and how much money they would save by switching over to this new system. The company was working on a low budget and did not have enough money to install the CAT 5E cables that are necessary for this type of phone system or so they thought they were necessary. This company had very old wiring system throughout the buildings and would have to spend a lot of money to update the wiring. They started out using the original Cat 3 cable that was already in the building. After six months of converting over to the new phone system with the old wiring they made a deal with a wiring company to come in and replace all of the old wires with new ones at the end points. Prior to installing this new phone system the company would spend about $50,000 in dial cost over their old phone system. After installing this new phone...

...APA Alan Jankewicz 205 12152012 Dorch APA After evaluating the Dirt Bikes organization, I recommend the following solutions: Since the Dirt Bikes organization already provides Internet access to all employees who use desktop computers, it would be beneficial to create a private network by using the existing network infrastructure paired up with Internet connectivity standards and software developed for the World Wide Web (WWW). According to Laudon and Laudon (2009), Internet networking standards and Web technology used to create private networks are called intranets. An intranet is private and secure and is protected by a firewall which prevents unauthorized individuals from entering the network. Intranet software technology and that of the WWW is the same. Having quick access to accurate information can be vital to a sales and marketing department. The sales and marketing department could benefit from using an intranet by being able to look up sales reports, product information, marketing analysis, and researching competitors are just one click away. The human resources department could benefit from having an intranet because they could eliminate using large amounts of paper. The human resources department could upload employee handbooks, benefits information, job listings and applications, newsletters, and new employee interactive training, as well as other information that would save paper costs. The manufacturing and production departments could benefit from...

...Integrative Network Design Project Part I Name NTC/ 362 Date Instructor Name Kudler Fine Foods Integrative Network Design Project Kudler Fine Foods has requested for an overhaul of its computer network infrastructure to a more efficient networking system to provide broader network communications to other stores. The service request calls for changing the administration network to a WLAN, design a WAN to link all of it stores, and add VoIP to all stores. Kudler Fine Foods need to communicate to its entire store locations so a Wide Area Network (WAN) needs to be designed with keeping the network within its budget and high end service in mind. To meet this requirement Kudler Fine Foods will purchase a Frame Relay service from its telecom provider. There are other methods for designing WANs then using a Frame Relay like X.25 and ATM, however, my initial choice was based by performance measures, cost, and network expansion to Kudler Fine Foods network requirements. All of its store locations will be using full and fractional T-1 lines which its headquarters location will use full T-1 while other locations will use fractional. In addition, the equipment used in the WAN design will be Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and routers with plug-in WAN Interface Card (WIC) that will provide and efficient communication link to all of its stores. Further, a dual-hub network topology will be the used to expand the network as well as reduce the number of Permanent Virtual...

...Malicious Attacks and Threats Malicious Attacks and Threats As the lead Information Systems Security Engineer it is my job to ensure that the ongoing threat of malicious attacks and vulnerabilities to the organizations computer network are kept to a minimum so that highly sensitive data will continue to remain protected. However, recent reports from the CIO suggest that there has been a small amount of malicious activity reported on the network. The CIO is requesting I look into the current network infrastructure and make necessary changes to the network so that the system remains free from the threat and vulnerability of future malicious activity that would impact the organizations network. Attacks on computer systems and networks occur by the billions every year and are on a dramatic increase. Many organizations have invested vast amounts of money in computer networks, only to find out that although it is providing means of improving the efficiency and productivity of the organization it also exposes the organization to possible malicious attacks and threats. Such attacks have been the most challenging issue for a majority of Information System Security Engineers where they utilize the necessary resources to protect the network from these vulnerabilities. The greatest overall threat to computer systems and their information comes from humans, through actions that are either malicious or ignorant. When the action is malicious, some motivation or goal...

...whether or not these technologies will be adopted. Communication Communication is one of the key elements when conducting business. This is because in order to run a successful business one must be in constant contact with customers and service providers. Technology such as VoIP (voice of internet protocol) makes this possible, VoIP may be the single most important thing that should be integrated into our business this technology allows for long distance calls, the sending and receiving of information, documents, capable of happening on a global level and is the most efficient way to conduct business transactions and communications. Most importantly however it is cheap, between the efficiency and finical savings this technology allows it is my recommendation that this technology should be adopted. One of the biggest advantages of integrating new technology into our business is the finical savings it affords us. This will allows tasks that once took sizable amounts of time and money to be completed with a touch of button and for pennies. This will eliminate the need for engagement in a postal or messenger services, especially because email services are typically free. The integration of VoIP will also increase the speed at which we can conduct business. This will be especially helpful when business needs to be conduct with customers when they are not face to face or customers in different countries....

...server will also allow access to all the printers at one time. It will let you assign which users can print to each printer. The other solution is to use Fiber 1000Based-F to help with the collision issue. 1000Based-F will provide data communication speeds of 1000-Mbps over optical fibers and will support full duplex communication. Full duplex data transmission will allow data to be transmitted in both directions at the same time. This will help speed up the network too. John Fischer, HVAC Tech John Fischer does 90% of his work via his laptop and Web browser. Unfortunately, he has to plug the Ethernet cable into his PC. Also, his operating system tells him that he is now operating at 10 megabits. There are two solutions that will help John. The first would thing John needs to do is to upgrade his network system by using the Fiber 1000Based-F. This will increase the speed of the network to a 1 Gigabit connection.

...because if the company doesn’t upgrade it’s network it will fall behind there is new technology that is expanding every day. What we will do is make sure Kudler is able to keep up with the advances with network systems and install the proper systems and storage units that are compatible with any type of system and making sure no money is wasted. For one if the improper systems are install it will be unless to the company and bad for business, like if we install only enough data to cover only a year’s worth of data then that wouldn’t be cost effective for the company so will have to spend more money getting more storage. This is our first priority is to make sure we have enough data storage to help the company store as much data as possible. One major problem that we see with Kudler is the 56k modems, which provide slow connections speeds. At Kudler all of the host system are running Window 98 well over 10 years, Windows NT servers are at the Delmar and Lajolla sites, XLS servers at the Delmar and Lajolla sites are running office 97. The Novell servers at Delmar and Lajolla sites are running when they were released in 1994, which are just about 20 years old. Every site has a stand alone system, which will need upgrades to provide a redundant power supply for the new systems. Now the main thing that is a problem is that all the sites are still running 56k modems. This old technology is hindering the speed between each site, which in returns hurts the company, now having the proper...

...Company Overview In this plan, I will describe the process of creating a WAN for ACME Manufacturing. ACME Manufacturing has six buildings in different locations that need to be on the same network. Headquarters and the other remote locations of ACME Manufacturing share the need for constant communication with each other. Atlanta, Georgia, is the home of ACME manufacturing where they have another building across the street, their engineering facility. The other locations are in Phoenix, Chicago, New York, and China. Network Setup and Connections The LAN setup in Atlanta for the headquarters and engineering buildings will use a logical choice of routers and Ethernet cables. Using routers and Ethernet cables will provide speedy data transfer rates and reliability without costing ACME manufacturing exuberant amount money. The three distribution locations in Phoenix, Chicago, and New York will use satellite connections to their headquarters in Atlanta. The last connection is the manufacturing plant in China wills also use a satellite connection to connect to headquarters back in the United States. After to some thought of what topology to use, a star topology looks to be the best choice for ACME manufacturing. (See Figure 1) All locations will connect with headquarters by either satellite or T1. Headquarters as the central location of the WAN will benefit the network administrator by giving him or her more control of the network. ACME manufacturing benefit...

...Structure of WAN After much deliberation it has been decided that all ABC Company’s (ABC) main design centers in: San Francisco, Detroit, Paris, Tokyo and Sao Paulo and sales offices in: Washington, Indianapolis, Tampa and Liverpool, will each have their own Local Area Network (LAN) setup. These LAN’s will be designed to best facilitate their intranet needs and will have the inclusion of internet access. Each site will include switches and routers with other networked devices and will be designed off Star topology. The Star Topology is a common network configuration in which workstations and other network devices connect to a single point called the hub. (Exforsys, 2008) We will be installing Fiber optic cabling in all the main building design centers including San Francisco, Detroit, Paris, Tokyo, and Sao Paulo. The rest of the sales offices be taken into consideration since there are plans of opening other sale offices as the business continues to grow. The fiber optic will run from the backbone cabling, vertical cabling, and horizontal cabling. It will run to the telecommunication closet connecting to the switches. The fiber optic cabling will help provide the necessary speed for all the workstations and expansion for future growth. The connections from device to device will be done through a Layer 3 switches. A layer 3 switch is a high performance device that differs very little from routers. The layer 3 switch has the same IP routing table for lookups and it forms...
