Description

This course will use this  scenario  in your assignments. Case Study: Problem 1

The Education Community Services Group (ECSG) has several problems in network availability that cause outages and poor system performance. These issues have made it difficult to provide reliable educational services during peak periods, causing it to lose students to its competitors. An information technology (IT) network administration evaluation has to be conducted and analyzed to evaluate the nature of business and the need for a reliable network administration architecture, specifically for ECSG. Without fact-finding and statistics, simply purchasing a commercially available network administration architecture will not help.

Organization and Project Selection

The first step will be to select an organization as the target for your Network Administration Processes and Procedure Guide. This organization can be real or hypothetical, and it will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course. It should conform to the following guidelines:

· Nontrivial: The selected organization should be large and should contain a network infrastructure that requires the implementation of network administration processes and procedures.

· Domain knowledge: You should be familiar enough with the organization and typical network administration needs without significant time required for network administration research and education.

· Accessibility: You should have good access to network administration officers and management in the organization.

Select an organization that meets these requirements, and submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.

Key Assignment Overview

For the assignments in this course, you will be developing a Network Administration Procedures and Processes Guide that documents and analyzes the network administration architecture for the scenario organization of your choosing. Your first task in this process will be to create the document shell for the final project deliverable that you will be working on during each unit. As you proceed through each project phase, you will add content to each section of the final document to gradually complete the final project delivery. Appropriate research should be conducted to support the development of your document, and assumptions may be made when necessary. The overall Network Administration Procedures and Processes Guide will consist of the following deliverables:

· Week 1: Project Outline

· Week 1: Architecture Evaluation

· Week 2: Network Administration Processes Evaluation

· Week 3: Network Administration Procedures Evaluation

· Week 4: Best Practices Evaluation

· Week 5: Network Administration Procedures and Processes Guide
