... * How much growth is this network going to have to support? When planning for this, you want to make sure that the company is going to have room to grow, which may vary depending on the company. For example, Target is probably going to be a faster growing network than a local mom/pop shop. * Availability * How long your network is available to users. Basically: is your network and up and running all day, every day? * Network Performance * This includes categories that measure the throughput of data and how efficient your network actually is. (Optimum Utilization) * Security * Security design is one of the most important aspects of a network. Without proper security your network is vulnerable to online cyber attacks that can cripple and steal from your databases. * Manageability * This technical goal is going to vary based on company needs. Some customers are going to have more precise goals. The book talks about a company planning to record the number of bytes sent and received to each router. Other clients may have less specific goals than this, it just tends to vary based on company objectives. * Usability * Close to manageability, but different. Usability refers to people who are accessing and using the network you have setup. Your network needs to be easy to use for them (different from management. Easier To Use =/= Easier To Manage) * Adaptability * Design the network so that in can accept new technologies...

...Network Infrastructure Security Robert Collazo Rasmussen College Network Infrastructure Security The first thing that I will be covering is the virtual private network in windows 7. A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network and the resources contained in the network across public networks like the Internet. It enables a host computer to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if it were a private network with all the functionality, security and management policies of the private network. This is done by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, encryption, or a combination of the two. The VPN connection across the Internet is technically a wide area network (WAN) link between the sites but appears to the user as a private network link—hence the name "virtual private network”. The following authentication protocols are supported for logon security for VPN connections in Windows 7: * PAP Stands for Password Authentication Protocol; uses plaintext (unencrypted) passwords. * CHAP Stands for Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol; uses one-way MD5 hashing with challenge-response authentication. * MSCHAPv2 Stands for Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2; an extension by Microsoft of the CHAP authentication protocol that provides mutual authentication of Windows-based computers and stronger data encryption. MSCHAPv2 is an enhancement of the earlier MS-CHAP...

...Design a Layered Security Strategy for an IP Network Infrastructure NaTasha Scott Dr. Danielle Babb CIS 534 Advanced Network Security Design March 6, 2014 1. Block diagram design of a layered security solution 2. A written function overview of your design Lab Assessment Questions and Answers for Lab 8 1. Explain why a layered security strategy helps mitigate risk and threats both external and internal. Multiple layers can be used to secure internal threats like keeping employees from accessing inappropriate material, update and patch workstations and run current anti-virus/malware on workstations daily. The layers also help mitigate external threats like hackers by using firewalls and shutting traffic out of the internal network. 2. Why is it a good idea to put shared servers and services on a DMZ when both internal and external users need access? When you have a DMZ there are two firewalls to protect the internal network from external threats. The necessary servers can be placed between the two in order to allow access from either side through strict firewalls while still allowing very little external traffic into the internal zone. The outermost firewall can allow a certain set of traffic to come in and access the servers. The inner most firewall blocks access into the intranet while allowing internal users to access the information on the servers. 3. What recommendations do you have for the future e-commerce server and deployment in regard to physical...

...Case Project 1-2 To accommodate a small network, not much equipment is required. A switch and enough Cat5 cable to connect each Workstation should do the trick. Since there are only 6 Workstation’s on this network it will take very little time to setup each one and train the employees on how to share resources. I would create power user accounts on each Workstation and join them to the same Workgroup and activate print and file share services. I would show each employee how to login to their Workstation and how to create their own password. Next I would show them how to find the shared or public folder and how they can move or copy files to and from this folder. I would also show them how to create and name their own folder within the shared folder so others can easily find the information they would need from them. I would let them know that as long as they don’t move files into this folder, the only way anyone can access their information is if they give out their user name and password. Case Project 1-3 This job should be relatively easy too. To setup a LAN on the new floor a couple of routers, a Workstation to use as a server and enough Cat5 cable to connect each Workstation. Since the new office is in the same building but on a different floor I would run a line to connect one of the routers from each floor. Once everything is in place I would configure the routers, the new server and the new workstations so communication and data transfer is possible between...

...CRISIL Young Thought Leader 2011 INDIA’S INFRASTRUCTURE – A BOON OR A BANE Shantanu Kumar Final Year, IRMA, Ahmedabad Page |2 Executive Summary “Infrastructure” has almost been a go-to word for anyone who is discussing about the ways of sustaining India’s economic growth, and with good reason. A casual look at the growth figures of the individual states shows the existence of a direct relationship between the quality of infrastructure and the performance of the state. The states with the best infrastructure attract businesses which creates employment which in turn helps their economy grow. This paper looks at the current scenario in some of the most important sectors and tries to compare it with countries which are widely known to be on the same economic trajectory, viz. Brazil, Russia, China and Mexico. The paper finds that although the progress has been slow, the government has made an attempt to kick start the investment in infrastructure either itself as in creation and maintenance of schools under “Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan” or through the PPP model as done in several highway projects. The issues arising due to poor infrastructure set India’s annual GDP growth back by as much as 1.5% - 2%. This paper shows that the government funding has remained almost constant in most sectors and their increase is unlikely owing to the high fiscal deficit. Hence it is the private investment which will have to fund the infrastructure projects. The government of India recognises...

...ITC eChoupal case Farmers in rural communities of India relied on Department of Agriculture, government, universities, insurance companies etc. for various inputs such as weather, new and scientific farming practices and insurance coverage. There was an indirect link between farmers and manufacturer via input retailers who source from wholesalers. During harvest, farmers bring these produce to Mandis bearing their own transportation cost; where beans are auctioned to the traders and agents of the processing companies in an open outcry method. This system was flawed and always leaves the farmers in a disadvantageous position. ITC, one of India’s leading private company saw the opportunity to develop the concept of eChoupal. Its main objective is to re-engineer the procurement process of the sale of the farmer’s produce. ITC motivation to crating e Choupal is to revolutionize the agricultural sector and make it more technology driven. eChoupal (virtual market place) was introduced as an initiative to improve the supply chain by linking directly with farmers for procurement. It was also designed to play the role of a social gathering place, for the exchange of information as well as a place for e-commerce transactions. The eChoupals are operated by a sanchalak (operator), who also act as an ITC salesman. The process was simple as the farmer can take a sample to the kiosk, show the sanchalak who gives a quote. If the quote is deemed attractive by the farmer, he will accept and...

...INFRATSRUCTURE The Eleventh Five Year Plan emphasized the need for removing infrastructure bottlenecks for sustained growth. It, therefore, proposed an investment of US $500 billion in infrastructure sectors through a mix of public and private sectors to reduce deficits in identified infrastructure sectors. As a percentage of the gross domestic product (GDP), investment in infrastructure was expected to increase to around 9 per cent. For the first time the contribution of the private sector in total investment in infrastructure was targeted to exceed 30 per cent. Total investment in infrastructure during the Eleventh Plan is estimated to increase to more than 8 per cent of GDP in the terminal year of the Plan --higher by 2.47 percentage point s a s c ompa red t o the Tenth Pl an. The private sector is expected t o be contributing nearly 36 per cent of this investment.
