Assessment
Part 1. Case Study Scenario
A company has a licence for one copy of a database programme. The Team Leader wants you to prepare a feasibility study on setting up a 20-user network. He believes he will achieve great savings by networking his one licence of the database.
Write a report to Project Manager explaining that it is not possible to do this for intellectual property, copyright and ethical reasons. Explain the intellectual property, copyright law the company would break if such program was implemented.
Your task:
- Write a report explaining that it is not possible to do this for intellectual property, copyright and ethical reasons.
- Explain the intellectual property, copyright law the company would break if such program a program was implemented and the consequences of such action by the business
Report Content:
The body of your report should include information from the following outline:
- Introduction
- Copyright / Intellectual property issues
o Identify current legislation and standards relating to intellectual property and copyright
o Investigate current organisational copyright policy
o Research organisational copyright policy and current legislation in work practices
o Create organizational copyright policy and review work practices to address integrity, confidentiality, and availability, security of information
- Ethical issues
o Code of Ethics
o Ethical issues
- Conclusion
Part 2. Information Research
Using the newspapers, magazines and Internet, research the status of finger-printing programs. List the advantages and disadvantages of using finger-printing for attendance at Academies Australasia's school environment.
Your Task:
- Identify the privacy legislation and privacy issues that would arise due to such a system.
- How privacy issues would be addressed if such a system was implemented.
- Create a privacy policy for the organisation and review work practices to address integrity, confidentiality, and availability, security of information
Part 3. Ethics code
Pretend you own a software consulting business that is growing in size and you need to employ more programmers. Most of the work in on-site and your developers are sometimes working on their own computers, sometimes on the clients systems. As we are simulating an I.T environment you can make assumptions.
Your task:
- Produce a concise Code of Ethics and checklist appropriate for all staff
- Write a document that explains how your company expects its employees to behave ethically and when dealing with your client's confidential information.
- Write a grievance procedure for staff, so they can confidentially report any ethical issues.
Assignment Preparation Guideline:
Following are guidelines for the submission of assignment.
- Use size A4 paper and leave at least a 3 cm margin. This is the best format for both marking and photocopying.
- Number each page of the assignment.
- Make a duplicate copy of each assignment. This overcomes any problems should your assignments ever be lost in transit even though this rarely happens.
Assessment 2
Research Case Study:
Netronics Enterprises is a mobile apps development company with 3 offices in the Australia. Head office is located in Sydney Australia and offices in Melbourne, Brisbane.
Netronics has undergone an excellent growth and recently expanded in Brisbane. The company has acquired two 10m by 10m office and a 3m by 3m space which it intends to use as the server room. Remember to accommodate this as the 3rd remote site in your network design.
All these offices have access to the internet at very high speeds. Currently, each of these offices has its own local area network. Currently there is no network in Brisbane.
In recent times, the management has decided to implement an Enterprise-wide or wide area network that will provide data connectivity to its entire site.
Netronics Plan
Netronics will have 5 staff working in Brisbane, 5 days a week. There are 2 rooms in the office. Office has a reception area where 1 staff member will be present during office times. IT staff have separate rooms. There will be one I.T personal workings at any given time during office hours.
Your Tasks:
1. Identify the different network segments, i.e. LAN and/or WLAN and/or VPN of the proposed WAN network. Then, design a network diagram (Wide Area Network) that includes a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) for the Brisbane Office based on the scenario, including physical and logical layout. As well as, consider how features of the physical environment affect the WAN design.
Assume the Offices are located as such:
a. Office 1 on ground floor
b. Office 2 on first floor
c. Server room on first floor
d. 20 PC's (current standard) overall for both office (your choice of layout)
2. Determine the network segment needs, estimate traffic content and volumes for the above scenario. i.e. how many of switches, routers, NIC cards, physical cables, network traffics, and what kind?
3. Determine the resource requirements for the network segments, i.e. for each LAN or WLAN or VPN based on functional analysis and estimate the costs associated for the implementation; and develop an organisational WAN functional matrix.
4. Choose and document a suitable WAN service according to network traffic expected to access the WAN, which also include a redundant link in the proposed WAN connectivity for the link backup purpose or in case the main link is disrupted.
