Assessment Part 2:

Using the following Information Infrastructure Network Project Scenario and the

guidelines you will find below this scenario:

Analyze this network and create an assessment of the current operation of the

network - Keep security considerations at the forefront of your analysis.

• Use your assessment to determine what changes should be made to the network in

order to better meet the needs of those who utilize that network. Use a

problem/solution format table to highlight your findings. Use one table with at least

five (5) problem solution combinations.

• How would you solve the problems of this network? Write a proposal to make three

(3) or more changes to the network. Keep security considerations at the forefront of

your proposal./nPart A: Network Assessment

Give a thorough assessment of the network. The assessment should compile, update, and

synthesize the information that you have about the network. It should include details of the

current usage and configuration (media, devices, addressing, and communications) for the

network./nPart B: Problem/Solution Table

Your problem solution table should highlight the major deficiencies with the current network

and provide a concise solution for each. Include future considerations in relation to the New

Network Needs Section of the scenario in problem/solution format. Especially consider all

aspects of security for the network and infrastructure.

Part C: Proposal Document

The proposal should address the problems or deficiencies identified in the network

assessment and should meet the specific, assessable project goals. The proposal should

contain the following sections.

Project Justification - Explain why this project is important for best meeting user needs.

Be sure to explain why the current infrastructure is inadequate to meet the user needs in

addition to explaining the needs and their importance in general.

Project Goals - Include three goals. Be sure that each of your goals is specific. Explain

how each relates to the overall need. Explain the success criteria for identifying if the goal is

met.

Solution Summary - Briefly describe how the solutions for each of the goals fit together

with one another and how they fit into the overall infrastructure. Also provide a cost estimate

and project schedule estimate for implementing all of these solutions.
