Create a network infrastructure design for a banking corporation for their new setup in Australia for this we have to create network topology diagram for WAN network and Local branch Network with design specifications.we also have to mention the functional requirements and non-functional requirements of the system.
we have already submitted a report which examiner have rejected with objection on it.Now we want to have the same kind of report as the examiner has mentioned in his comments. which is given below
Overall Assessment:
The report covers some of the unit/project aspects well and provides design alternatives and shows evidence of applying the theories learnt in project situation.
However, the report in current state fails to meet certain requirements of the unit.
Report may be accepted if the comments below are addressed and revisions carried out to the satisfaction of the examination board.
Planning Report :
For planning you have provided WBS and the Gantt Chart. Gantt chart is not readable which should be addressed. However WBS is good.
System Requirements Report:
System requirements are listed. See more comments in the report.
System Analysis Report:
You need to improve on this. You need to perform a good analysis on the system. You need to link identify problems with possible solution.
System Design Report:
In the network diagram you have addressed the security and the availability aspects. Further you can add on performance. VPN is a bit of a costly solution. It is always better to justify your design in terms of cost and the advantages.
Requirement
1. A. Design a network and infrastructure design for ZAYIN headquarters in Australia and a sample network and infrastructure design for a branch office. All routers and switches need to be clearly identified in the network and infrastructure design diagram. Describe the switches and routers used for setting up ZAYIN headquarters for success
B. Submit the project management plan and project plan
2. For the branches where old infrastructure is available, recommend suitable solution to upgrade the existing LAN facilities and plan for upgrading to IP Telephony facilities.
3. Recommend appropriate network management tools and the standard operating procedures
4. Write a detailed Production Infrastructure and Network design document as per the attached template.
Comments on overall quality of the report:
You have not fully covered the scope in your report. What you need to have in this report.
1. Requirement analysis of the project
2. Planning
3. Analysis
4. System design aspects
Your report has some quality information but needs restructuring.
This type of a report need to have following sections.
1. Cover page - with all the information about your group and the members
2. Abstract
3. Table of contents - this you have
4. If needed Table of figures
5. Table of tables
6. Introduction
7. Objective and motivation
8. Background
9. System requirements - functional non functional
10. Planning
11. System analysis - requirements, network and etc
12. System design
13. Risk and quality management
14. Conclusions
And you have added general information that we could find in the books. There are no references.
Please do not add empty tables for the report unless you need to show a template.
All the tables and figures should be numbered and named.
Please do not add links to documents such as Gantt chart. You need to add the diagrams to the document and should explain.
In your report you need to ensure consistency and clarity as well.
Objectives
- Prepare you to contribute effectively towards the implementation of an IT project when you complete your graduation
- Apply project management and planning skills
- Apply the technical skills and knowledge you have learnt so far
- Explore and research industry standards, guidelines, design principles and solution framework
Business Case
- ZAYIN is a well-established banking organization in Asian countries and is setting up its Australian entity as a banking and trading organization for individuals and commercial business entities.
- ZAYIN has plans of setting up at the least 10 branches each in all the important cities across Australia and at the least 15 branches in the suburbs per state. ZAYIN has secured all the prime locations and only some of the locations have existing network and infrastructure with outdated LAN facilities.
High Level Requirements
- The main objective of the network setup will be to offer secured data transfer and data storage facilities for ZAYIN banking customers.
- The banking facilities will be fully operational and offer ATM, telephone and Internet banking services; networking facilities should support cost-effective online transactions ensuring world-class customer service.
- Special counter services should be available for customers availing both banking and trading services, with the ability to check their trading account information via Internet banking and Phone banking. -?ZAYIN's working model incorporates trading services offered via cloud services, which are part of the business organization in Asian countries. ZAYIN's banking services will be localized and will operate as per Australian regulations. To this effect, the head quarters of ZAYIN need to have 200 systems with WAN/LAN facilities with a total of with at the least 100 computers connected to private cloud services hosted by ZAYIN in Hong Kong.
- The main objective of the network setup will be to offer secured data transfer and data storage facilities for ZAYIN banking customers.
- The banking facilities will be fully operational and offer ATM, telephone and Internet banking services; networking
facilities should support cost-effective online transactions ensuring world-class customer service.
- Special counter services should be available for customers availing both banking and trading services, with the ability to check their trading account information via Internet banking and Phone banking.
- With trading services being accessed worldwide, the expected system and network availability is 99.99%. Vendor should explore the market and recommend appropriate network management tools to ensure great coverage, system availability and traffic monitoring.
- ZAYIN's headquarters is in Hongkong and the chief architect's office and his team resides there. The central office team team has indicated preference for the usage of site VPNs interconnected via WAN.
- Network redundancy is a key requirement and a redundant WAN connectivity is preferred wherever Internet access is used to connect to ZAYIN's services by Senior Management Team as well as business customers.
- ZAYIN Hongkong has switched to IP telephony facilities and would like to use the same cost-effective method in ZAYIN Australia.
- ZAYIN's standards and guidelines include the use of integrated blade solutions, (server modules) where server administration and operational activities include failback, archive, backup and recovery procedures will be centralised. (Note: Recommend virtual server infrastructure where possible)
- ZAYIN's roadmap includes business expansion along with extending the network capability and branch facilities in the near future. Proposed network design should cater for this to be done with no disruptions to business operations.
