That is why Tony chips should also have a website where it can be able to advertize its business and reach many customers. This paper will cover the steps and requirements on how Tony chips will transfer web hosting from an external source to internal as well as how to make their website redundant. In the efforts to build that redundant and scalable website, the key principles of availability, performance, reliability, scalability, manageability and cost require much attention (Matsudaira, 2012). Also, the SDLC must be duly followed as it is the requirement of any system. These are systems planning, system analysis, system design, system implementation, and lastly system support/security (Shelly & Rosenblatt, 2012). System Planning In this phase, the familiarization of the processes involved and objectives of the business must be well highlighted. A formal business plan needs to be in place to show which operations the company will undertake. There is a need to know all participants in the whole migration process and the time when they will you require then in the migration process. As the one of the requirements is that the website needs to be hosting should be internal, it means that a server there is a server requirement. Besides that...

...Website Migration Student’s name Institution Date Website Migration Introduction The process of moving the old Website from an externally hosted solution to an internal one requires a lot to be put in place. There is a need to follow the system development life cycle (SDLS) for it to be successful and have transformational effect on the company’s operation (Klein, S. 2007). If there is redundancy in the site of the company, some measures should be carried out to ensure that it functions well to serve the company’s information needs. There should be a back-up site available as a failover in case the main site goes down. There is also a need for the site to be redesigned to allow customers to order products online. The system development life cycle (SDLS) is involves seven phases or steps that are followed in developing an information system from conception up to disposition. The following is the seven-step phase of developing an information system by a software engineer: 1. Conceptual Planning 2. Planning and Requirements Definition 3. System design 4. Development and Testing 5. Implementation phase 6. Operations and Maintenance phase 7. Operations and Maintenance phase Conceptual Planning This is the first phase in the system development life cycle. In this phase the information system conceptual framework is constructed. This will include the evaluation and assessment of the system to be developed to determine the cost and risks associated with the system...

...Web architecture refers to the structure or the organization of a website. It involves the description of the ways in which different pages relate to each other and also ensures that the information is organized in a predictable and consistent way in every page. In order to build the web architecture, the system analyst should into the company’s business needs, and come up with a clear statement of the goals. As there is an already existing old site running, it is crucial that the analyst understands the business and its technological issues involving the implementation of the project. Since we have an already running Tony’s chips website, it is important to gather the existing functional requirements of the website. The system analyst can get information from the employees of the old company; gather system documentation, production support and also using Fact finding techniques. On gathering this information the system analyst should make a decision on whether to go for a packed solution or develop the software in-house. If we decide to go for in-house development of the website, I recommend that we use; Apache as the web server, JEE as the language to develop the website, Linux as the Operating System and MYSQL for the database of the website. Since MYSQL, Apache and Linux are all open sources the company needs not to worry about their licenses and also by writing the software in Java helps us to deploy the code on any platform and the fact that it is not difficult to find...

Since, the old site of the company is running it would be vital to understand the technological and business related issues associated with the previous website. Along, with that it should also be determined whether the IT staffs of the company possesses necessary experience and skills essential for the implementation of the project. The company might have to consider additional resources, training programs, and hiring of consultants for the project’s success (Nelson et.al, 2010). The project should be developed on a modular manner so the users can approve and test the various functional elements of the website. Since the Tony’s Chips website was already operating, it would be essential for the developer to gather the existing functional requirements for the website. During the data collection process the system analyst will conduct interviews of the people from the product support department, and they will gather the system documentation using the fact finding techniques (McArdle et.al, 2010).

...Kingfish Datacenter Migration By Reginald L. Cobb PROJ 592 Professor Keith Bluestein Executive Summary/Proposal When an organization decides to migrate to a state-of-the-art data center, it is considered a strategic initiative that, if done correctly, will help the organization in several key areas. The migration will help the enterprise and service providers maintain market leadership, increase business agility, reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), meet regulatory requirement, and position the organization for future growth. The Kingfish Datacenter Migration plan relocation to the Connection Factory converted warehouse will save the organization an estimated fifty thousand dollars annually in lease and indirect cost. The TOC is reduced by timing the migration with a total hardware refresh to more energy efficient servers and appliances. Kingfish will also be virtualizing 50% of the application that now sit on individual servers. This initiative will not only save the datacenter the cost of running an inefficient server but will pass on saving to the customer while providing a robust and scalable environment. Kingfish Datacenter Migration Kingfish Datacenter is a medium size datacenter that is used primarily as a hosting center. The datacenter is primarily oriented toward a client-server which means that the data traffic flows north-south (in and out of the facility).

...Term Paper Website Migration CIS University 09/07/15 Tony’s Chips has recently been sold to a new independent company. The new company has hired me to manage a project that will move the old Website from an externally hosted solution to an internal one. The company’s leadership is very concerned about redundancy for their site, insisting that a back-up site be available as a failover in case the main site goes down. Therefore, the site will be redesigned so that customers will be able to place orders through the website and have them delivered as before. The design of the new system will be able to provide more data storage, faster retrieval, better security features and recovery solutions in the event that the website has any problems. With the operational reliability of the existing system, this will make it easier to improve the new system. The first part of the project goal is to discuss what it will take to build the web architecture, then what will have to be done to move the existing Website with minimal downtime, and then provide a disaster recovery plan in the event that the website should crash or stop working.
