Competency 3 Reflection: Adapting to Digital Risks
BMIS 520 - IT Infrastructure
Liberty University
Mobile computing, E-commerce, and Social Networking
The way in which businesses operate, market and communicate is in constant flux.
Technology continually advances and moves society into an increasingly digital world
causing many businesses try to adapt through the use of mobile devices, social networking
and digital storefronts. With these new advancements and innovations there are also
increased risks and costs. The primary consideration when a business considers adding
these technologies should be security. As the business adds new routes of communication
for each customer to be able to access a storefront and make purchases, interact with a
company social media accounts, or employees to access business resources from a mobile
device, they are also exponentially increasing the available attack vectors for bad actors.
Each line of communication allows for new avenues of attack which will require IT policies,
procedures and additional security. Without these additional measures a business will find
these tools to be a liability rather than a boon.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security
risks being considered, impacts to the network usage itself can be considered.
Assuming a self hosted digital storefront for eticommerce we would expect to see a
significant increase in trafic to and from the business to the internet. Considering a cloud
solution instead, it would be expected to alleviate most of the customer trafic, but could still
be impacted by employees reaching out to site.
Furthermore if employee are then given mobile devices, laptops, cellphones, or tablets, it is
expected that the trafic to and from the network will increase significantly as well. It would
be expected to allow for a connection through a VPN, virtual private network, to enable
access to all or specific business network resources while adding an additional layer of
security.
A final consideration is the construction of the network itself, is it configured in a way that
can accommodate all the extra devices in each network subtinet. If each employee goes
from a single work computer, to having a work computer plus one additional device maybe
a laptop or a tablet the number of IP addresses needed would double.
Metrics for Measuring IT Operations
IT operations cover a plethora of tasks, roles, and responsibilities making accurate metrics
essential for measuring the success of operations and the value of infrastructure changes.
Metrics can be used to demonstrate how well the infrastructure is operating or the
improvement of a given process or operation. When it comes to measuring the overall
health and quality of IT operations, the go to metrics revolve around ticketing. When
considering day to day operations, there are bound to be issues and changes that are
needed to continually adapt to business needs and security concerns. Using metrics, such as
the number of tickets submitted within a time frame before and after a software update
would be used to show that the update successfully mitigated most or all of an issue. Along
the same lines the average amount of time between when a ticket was opened until it was
closed would be used show that a given IT group is not able to handle the workload and
more staff may be needed. These types of metrics allow for performance improvements
based relative quantitative analysis, another example being the number of purchases
licenses compared to the number in use. This could lead to better bulk licensing savings if
the company to close to threshold and expects to need more, or a reduction in the number
of licenses renewed if most are going unused.
The second metric to be considered is network flow metrics, these metrics generally show a
high level view of the trafic on a network, or a device. Viewing the network flow analysis,
will help to guide decisions around future subtinet partitions as well as highlighting areas of
concern. These types of metrics could lead to moving a high trafic device off of a congested
subtinet into a new subtinet allowing better trafic flow to the low trafic devices. These types
of metrics can improve performance, justify decisions and spending, and provide evidence
that the infrastructure is running eficiently.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security

Metrics for Measuring IT Operations
IT operations cover a plethora of tasks, roles, and responsibilities making accurate metrics
essential for measuring the success of operations and the value of infrastructure changes.
Metrics can be used to demonstrate how well the infrastructure is operating or the
improvement of a given process or operation. When it comes to measuring the overall
health and quality of IT operations, the go to metrics revolve around ticketing. When
considering day to day operations, there are bound to be issues and changes that are
needed to continually adapt to business needs and security concerns. Using metrics, such as
the number of tickets submitted within a time frame before and after a software update
would be used to show that the update successfully mitigated most or all of an issue. Along
the same lines the average amount of time between when a ticket was opened until it was
closed would be used show that a given IT group is not able to handle the workload and
more staff may be needed. These types of metrics allow for performance improvements
based relative quantitative analysis, another example being the number of purchases
licenses compared to the number in use. This could lead to better bulk licensing savings if
the company to close to threshold and expects to need more, or a reduction in the number
of licenses renewed if most are going unused.
The second metric to be considered is network flow metrics, these metrics generally show a
high level view of the trafic on a network, or a device. Viewing the network flow analysis,
will help to guide decisions around future subtinet partitions as well as highlighting areas of
concern. These types of metrics could lead to moving a high trafic device off of a congested
subtinet into a new subtinet allowing better trafic flow to the low trafic devices. These types
of metrics can improve performance, justify decisions and spending, and provide evidence
that the infrastructure is running eficiently.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security
risks being considered, impacts to the network usage itself can be considered.
Assuming a self hosted digital storefront for eticommerce we would expect to see a
significant increase in trafic to and from the business to the internet. Considering a cloud
solution instead, it would be expected to alleviate most of the customer trafic, but could still
be impacted by employees reaching out to site.
Furthermore if employee are then given mobile devices, laptops, cellphones, or tablets, it is
expected that the trafic to and from the network will increase significantly as well. It would
be expected to allow for a connection through a VPN, virtual private network, to enable
access to all or specific business network resources while adding an additional layer of
security.
A final consideration is the construction of the network itself, is it configured in a way that
can accommodate all the extra devices in each network subtinet. If each employee goes
from a single work computer, to having a work computer plus one additional device maybe
a laptop or a tablet the number of IP addresses needed would double.

Assuming a self hosted digital storefront for eticommerce we would expect to see a
significant increase in trafic to and from the business to the internet. Considering a cloud
solution instead, it would be expected to alleviate most of the customer trafic, but could still
be impacted by employees reaching out to site.
Furthermore if employee are then given mobile devices, laptops, cellphones, or tablets, it is
expected that the trafic to and from the network will increase significantly as well. It would
be expected to allow for a connection through a VPN, virtual private network, to enable
access to all or specific business network resources while adding an additional layer of
security.
A final consideration is the construction of the network itself, is it configured in a way that
can accommodate all the extra devices in each network subtinet. If each employee goes
from a single work computer, to having a work computer plus one additional device maybe
a laptop or a tablet the number of IP addresses needed would double.
Metrics for Measuring IT Operations
IT operations cover a plethora of tasks, roles, and responsibilities making accurate metrics
essential for measuring the success of operations and the value of infrastructure changes.
Metrics can be used to demonstrate how well the infrastructure is operating or the
improvement of a given process or operation. When it comes to measuring the overall
health and quality of IT operations, the go to metrics revolve around ticketing. When
considering day to day operations, there are bound to be issues and changes that are
needed to continually adapt to business needs and security concerns. Using metrics, such as
the number of tickets submitted within a time frame before and after a software update
would be used to show that the update successfully mitigated most or all of an issue. Along
the same lines the average amount of time between when a ticket was opened until it was
closed would be used show that a given IT group is not able to handle the workload and
more staff may be needed. These types of metrics allow for performance improvements
based relative quantitative analysis, another example being the number of purchases
licenses compared to the number in use. This could lead to better bulk licensing savings if
the company to close to threshold and expects to need more, or a reduction in the number
of licenses renewed if most are going unused.
The second metric to be considered is network flow metrics, these metrics generally show a
high level view of the trafic on a network, or a device. Viewing the network flow analysis,
will help to guide decisions around future subtinet partitions as well as highlighting areas of
concern. These types of metrics could lead to moving a high trafic device off of a congested
subtinet into a new subtinet allowing better trafic flow to the low trafic devices. These types
of metrics can improve performance, justify decisions and spending, and provide evidence
that the infrastructure is running eficiently.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security
risks being considered, impacts to the network usage itself can be considered.

the company to close to threshold and expects to need more, or a reduction in the number
of licenses renewed if most are going unused.
The second metric to be considered is network flow metrics, these metrics generally show a
high level view of the trafic on a network, or a device. Viewing the network flow analysis,
will help to guide decisions around future subtinet partitions as well as highlighting areas of
concern. These types of metrics could lead to moving a high trafic device off of a congested
subtinet into a new subtinet allowing better trafic flow to the low trafic devices. These types
of metrics can improve performance, justify decisions and spending, and provide evidence
that the infrastructure is running eficiently.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security
risks being considered, impacts to the network usage itself can be considered.
Assuming a self hosted digital storefront for eticommerce we would expect to see a
significant increase in trafic to and from the business to the internet. Considering a cloud
solution instead, it would be expected to alleviate most of the customer trafic, but could still
be impacted by employees reaching out to site.
Furthermore if employee are then given mobile devices, laptops, cellphones, or tablets, it is
expected that the trafic to and from the network will increase significantly as well. It would
be expected to allow for a connection through a VPN, virtual private network, to enable
access to all or specific business network resources while adding an additional layer of
security.
A final consideration is the construction of the network itself, is it configured in a way that
can accommodate all the extra devices in each network subtinet. If each employee goes
from a single work computer, to having a work computer plus one additional device maybe
a laptop or a tablet the number of IP addresses needed would double.
Metrics for Measuring IT Operations
IT operations cover a plethora of tasks, roles, and responsibilities making accurate metrics
essential for measuring the success of operations and the value of infrastructure changes.
Metrics can be used to demonstrate how well the infrastructure is operating or the
improvement of a given process or operation. When it comes to measuring the overall
health and quality of IT operations, the go to metrics revolve around ticketing. When
considering day to day operations, there are bound to be issues and changes that are
needed to continually adapt to business needs and security concerns. Using metrics, such as
the number of tickets submitted within a time frame before and after a software update
would be used to show that the update successfully mitigated most or all of an issue. Along
the same lines the average amount of time between when a ticket was opened until it was
closed would be used show that a given IT group is not able to handle the workload and
more staff may be needed. These types of metrics allow for performance improvements

Metrics can be used to demonstrate how well the infrastructure is operating or the
improvement of a given process or operation. When it comes to measuring the overall
health and quality of IT operations, the go to metrics revolve around ticketing. When
considering day to day operations, there are bound to be issues and changes that are
needed to continually adapt to business needs and security concerns. Using metrics, such as
the number of tickets submitted within a time frame before and after a software update
would be used to show that the update successfully mitigated most or all of an issue. Along
the same lines the average amount of time between when a ticket was opened until it was
closed would be used show that a given IT group is not able to handle the workload and
more staff may be needed. These types of metrics allow for performance improvements
based relative quantitative analysis, another example being the number of purchases
licenses compared to the number in use. This could lead to better bulk licensing savings if
the company to close to threshold and expects to need more, or a reduction in the number
of licenses renewed if most are going unused.
The second metric to be considered is network flow metrics, these metrics generally show a
high level view of the trafic on a network, or a device. Viewing the network flow analysis,
will help to guide decisions around future subtinet partitions as well as highlighting areas of
concern. These types of metrics could lead to moving a high trafic device off of a congested
subtinet into a new subtinet allowing better trafic flow to the low trafic devices. These types
of metrics can improve performance, justify decisions and spending, and provide evidence
that the infrastructure is running eficiently.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security
risks being considered, impacts to the network usage itself can be considered.
Assuming a self hosted digital storefront for eticommerce we would expect to see a
significant increase in trafic to and from the business to the internet. Considering a cloud
solution instead, it would be expected to alleviate most of the customer trafic, but could still
be impacted by employees reaching out to site.
Furthermore if employee are then given mobile devices, laptops, cellphones, or tablets, it is
expected that the trafic to and from the network will increase significantly as well. It would
be expected to allow for a connection through a VPN, virtual private network, to enable
access to all or specific business network resources while adding an additional layer of
security.
A final consideration is the construction of the network itself, is it configured in a way that
can accommodate all the extra devices in each network subtinet. If each employee goes
from a single work computer, to having a work computer plus one additional device maybe
a laptop or a tablet the number of IP addresses needed would double.

solution instead, it would be expected to alleviate most of the customer trafic, but could still
be impacted by employees reaching out to site.
Furthermore if employee are then given mobile devices, laptops, cellphones, or tablets, it is
expected that the trafic to and from the network will increase significantly as well. It would
be expected to allow for a connection through a VPN, virtual private network, to enable
access to all or specific business network resources while adding an additional layer of
security.
A final consideration is the construction of the network itself, is it configured in a way that
can accommodate all the extra devices in each network subtinet. If each employee goes
from a single work computer, to having a work computer plus one additional device maybe
a laptop or a tablet the number of IP addresses needed would double.
Metrics for Measuring IT Operations
IT operations cover a plethora of tasks, roles, and responsibilities making accurate metrics
essential for measuring the success of operations and the value of infrastructure changes.
Metrics can be used to demonstrate how well the infrastructure is operating or the
improvement of a given process or operation. When it comes to measuring the overall
health and quality of IT operations, the go to metrics revolve around ticketing. When
considering day to day operations, there are bound to be issues and changes that are
needed to continually adapt to business needs and security concerns. Using metrics, such as
the number of tickets submitted within a time frame before and after a software update
would be used to show that the update successfully mitigated most or all of an issue. Along
the same lines the average amount of time between when a ticket was opened until it was
closed would be used show that a given IT group is not able to handle the workload and
more staff may be needed. These types of metrics allow for performance improvements
based relative quantitative analysis, another example being the number of purchases
licenses compared to the number in use. This could lead to better bulk licensing savings if
the company to close to threshold and expects to need more, or a reduction in the number
of licenses renewed if most are going unused.
The second metric to be considered is network flow metrics, these metrics generally show a
high level view of the trafic on a network, or a device. Viewing the network flow analysis,
will help to guide decisions around future subtinet partitions as well as highlighting areas of
concern. These types of metrics could lead to moving a high trafic device off of a congested
subtinet into a new subtinet allowing better trafic flow to the low trafic devices. These types
of metrics can improve performance, justify decisions and spending, and provide evidence
that the infrastructure is running eficiently.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security
risks being considered, impacts to the network usage itself can be considered.

high level view of the trafic on a network, or a device. Viewing the network flow analysis,
will help to guide decisions around future subtinet partitions as well as highlighting areas of
concern. These types of metrics could lead to moving a high trafic device off of a congested
subtinet into a new subtinet allowing better trafic flow to the low trafic devices. These types
of metrics can improve performance, justify decisions and spending, and provide evidence
that the infrastructure is running eficiently.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security
risks being considered, impacts to the network usage itself can be considered.
Assuming a self hosted digital storefront for eticommerce we would expect to see a
significant increase in trafic to and from the business to the internet. Considering a cloud
solution instead, it would be expected to alleviate most of the customer trafic, but could still
be impacted by employees reaching out to site.
Furthermore if employee are then given mobile devices, laptops, cellphones, or tablets, it is
expected that the trafic to and from the network will increase significantly as well. It would
be expected to allow for a connection through a VPN, virtual private network, to enable
access to all or specific business network resources while adding an additional layer of
security.
A final consideration is the construction of the network itself, is it configured in a way that
can accommodate all the extra devices in each network subtinet. If each employee goes
from a single work computer, to having a work computer plus one additional device maybe
a laptop or a tablet the number of IP addresses needed would double.
Metrics for Measuring IT Operations
IT operations cover a plethora of tasks, roles, and responsibilities making accurate metrics
essential for measuring the success of operations and the value of infrastructure changes.
Metrics can be used to demonstrate how well the infrastructure is operating or the
improvement of a given process or operation. When it comes to measuring the overall
health and quality of IT operations, the go to metrics revolve around ticketing. When
considering day to day operations, there are bound to be issues and changes that are
needed to continually adapt to business needs and security concerns. Using metrics, such as
the number of tickets submitted within a time frame before and after a software update
would be used to show that the update successfully mitigated most or all of an issue. Along
the same lines the average amount of time between when a ticket was opened until it was
closed would be used show that a given IT group is not able to handle the workload and
more staff may be needed. These types of metrics allow for performance improvements
based relative quantitative analysis, another example being the number of purchases
licenses compared to the number in use. This could lead to better bulk licensing savings if
the company to close to threshold and expects to need more, or a reduction in the number
of licenses renewed if most are going unused.

considering day to day operations, there are bound to be issues and changes that are
needed to continually adapt to business needs and security concerns. Using metrics, such as
the number of tickets submitted within a time frame before and after a software update
would be used to show that the update successfully mitigated most or all of an issue. Along
the same lines the average amount of time between when a ticket was opened until it was
closed would be used show that a given IT group is not able to handle the workload and
more staff may be needed. These types of metrics allow for performance improvements
based relative quantitative analysis, another example being the number of purchases
licenses compared to the number in use. This could lead to better bulk licensing savings if
the company to close to threshold and expects to need more, or a reduction in the number
of licenses renewed if most are going unused.
The second metric to be considered is network flow metrics, these metrics generally show a
high level view of the trafic on a network, or a device. Viewing the network flow analysis,
will help to guide decisions around future subtinet partitions as well as highlighting areas of
concern. These types of metrics could lead to moving a high trafic device off of a congested
subtinet into a new subtinet allowing better trafic flow to the low trafic devices. These types
of metrics can improve performance, justify decisions and spending, and provide evidence
that the infrastructure is running eficiently.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security
risks being considered, impacts to the network usage itself can be considered.
Assuming a self hosted digital storefront for eticommerce we would expect to see a
significant increase in trafic to and from the business to the internet. Considering a cloud
solution instead, it would be expected to alleviate most of the customer trafic, but could still
be impacted by employees reaching out to site.
Furthermore if employee are then given mobile devices, laptops, cellphones, or tablets, it is
expected that the trafic to and from the network will increase significantly as well. It would
be expected to allow for a connection through a VPN, virtual private network, to enable
access to all or specific business network resources while adding an additional layer of
security.
A final consideration is the construction of the network itself, is it configured in a way that
can accommodate all the extra devices in each network subtinet. If each employee goes
from a single work computer, to having a work computer plus one additional device maybe
a laptop or a tablet the number of IP addresses needed would double.
Metrics for Measuring IT Operations

expected that the trafic to and from the network will increase significantly as well. It would
be expected to allow for a connection through a VPN, virtual private network, to enable
access to all or specific business network resources while adding an additional layer of
security.
A final consideration is the construction of the network itself, is it configured in a way that
can accommodate all the extra devices in each network subtinet. If each employee goes
from a single work computer, to having a work computer plus one additional device maybe
a laptop or a tablet the number of IP addresses needed would double.
Metrics for Measuring IT Operations
IT operations cover a plethora of tasks, roles, and responsibilities making accurate metrics
essential for measuring the success of operations and the value of infrastructure changes.
Metrics can be used to demonstrate how well the infrastructure is operating or the
improvement of a given process or operation. When it comes to measuring the overall
health and quality of IT operations, the go to metrics revolve around ticketing. When
considering day to day operations, there are bound to be issues and changes that are
needed to continually adapt to business needs and security concerns. Using metrics, such as
the number of tickets submitted within a time frame before and after a software update
would be used to show that the update successfully mitigated most or all of an issue. Along
the same lines the average amount of time between when a ticket was opened until it was
closed would be used show that a given IT group is not able to handle the workload and
more staff may be needed. These types of metrics allow for performance improvements
based relative quantitative analysis, another example being the number of purchases
licenses compared to the number in use. This could lead to better bulk licensing savings if
the company to close to threshold and expects to need more, or a reduction in the number
of licenses renewed if most are going unused.
The second metric to be considered is network flow metrics, these metrics generally show a
high level view of the trafic on a network, or a device. Viewing the network flow analysis,
will help to guide decisions around future subtinet partitions as well as highlighting areas of
concern. These types of metrics could lead to moving a high trafic device off of a congested
subtinet into a new subtinet allowing better trafic flow to the low trafic devices. These types
of metrics can improve performance, justify decisions and spending, and provide evidence
that the infrastructure is running eficiently.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security
risks being considered, impacts to the network usage itself can be considered.
Assuming a self hosted digital storefront for eticommerce we would expect to see a

concern. These types of metrics could lead to moving a high trafic device off of a congested
subtinet into a new subtinet allowing better trafic flow to the low trafic devices. These types
of metrics can improve performance, justify decisions and spending, and provide evidence
that the infrastructure is running eficiently.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security
risks being considered, impacts to the network usage itself can be considered.
Assuming a self hosted digital storefront for eticommerce we would expect to see a
significant increase in trafic to and from the business to the internet. Considering a cloud
solution instead, it would be expected to alleviate most of the customer trafic, but could still
be impacted by employees reaching out to site.
Furthermore if employee are then given mobile devices, laptops, cellphones, or tablets, it is
expected that the trafic to and from the network will increase significantly as well. It would
be expected to allow for a connection through a VPN, virtual private network, to enable
access to all or specific business network resources while adding an additional layer of
security.
A final consideration is the construction of the network itself, is it configured in a way that
can accommodate all the extra devices in each network subtinet. If each employee goes
from a single work computer, to having a work computer plus one additional device maybe
a laptop or a tablet the number of IP addresses needed would double.
Metrics for Measuring IT Operations
IT operations cover a plethora of tasks, roles, and responsibilities making accurate metrics
essential for measuring the success of operations and the value of infrastructure changes.
Metrics can be used to demonstrate how well the infrastructure is operating or the
improvement of a given process or operation. When it comes to measuring the overall
health and quality of IT operations, the go to metrics revolve around ticketing. When
considering day to day operations, there are bound to be issues and changes that are
needed to continually adapt to business needs and security concerns. Using metrics, such as
the number of tickets submitted within a time frame before and after a software update
would be used to show that the update successfully mitigated most or all of an issue. Along
the same lines the average amount of time between when a ticket was opened until it was
closed would be used show that a given IT group is not able to handle the workload and
more staff may be needed. These types of metrics allow for performance improvements
based relative quantitative analysis, another example being the number of purchases
licenses compared to the number in use. This could lead to better bulk licensing savings if
the company to close to threshold and expects to need more, or a reduction in the number
of licenses renewed if most are going unused.

the number of tickets submitted within a time frame before and after a software update
would be used to show that the update successfully mitigated most or all of an issue. Along
the same lines the average amount of time between when a ticket was opened until it was
closed would be used show that a given IT group is not able to handle the workload and
more staff may be needed. These types of metrics allow for performance improvements
based relative quantitative analysis, another example being the number of purchases
licenses compared to the number in use. This could lead to better bulk licensing savings if
the company to close to threshold and expects to need more, or a reduction in the number
of licenses renewed if most are going unused.
The second metric to be considered is network flow metrics, these metrics generally show a
high level view of the trafic on a network, or a device. Viewing the network flow analysis,
will help to guide decisions around future subtinet partitions as well as highlighting areas of
concern. These types of metrics could lead to moving a high trafic device off of a congested
subtinet into a new subtinet allowing better trafic flow to the low trafic devices. These types
of metrics can improve performance, justify decisions and spending, and provide evidence
that the infrastructure is running eficiently.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security
risks being considered, impacts to the network usage itself can be considered.
Assuming a self hosted digital storefront for eticommerce we would expect to see a
significant increase in trafic to and from the business to the internet. Considering a cloud
solution instead, it would be expected to alleviate most of the customer trafic, but could still
be impacted by employees reaching out to site.
Furthermore if employee are then given mobile devices, laptops, cellphones, or tablets, it is
expected that the trafic to and from the network will increase significantly as well. It would
be expected to allow for a connection through a VPN, virtual private network, to enable
access to all or specific business network resources while adding an additional layer of
security.
A final consideration is the construction of the network itself, is it configured in a way that
can accommodate all the extra devices in each network subtinet. If each employee goes
from a single work computer, to having a work computer plus one additional device maybe
a laptop or a tablet the number of IP addresses needed would double.
Metrics for Measuring IT Operations
IT operations cover a plethora of tasks, roles, and responsibilities making accurate metrics
essential for measuring the success of operations and the value of infrastructure changes.
Metrics can be used to demonstrate how well the infrastructure is operating or the
improvement of a given process or operation. When it comes to measuring the overall

Metrics for Measuring IT Operations
IT operations cover a plethora of tasks, roles, and responsibilities making accurate metrics
essential for measuring the success of operations and the value of infrastructure changes.
Metrics can be used to demonstrate how well the infrastructure is operating or the
improvement of a given process or operation. When it comes to measuring the overall
health and quality of IT operations, the go to metrics revolve around ticketing. When
considering day to day operations, there are bound to be issues and changes that are
needed to continually adapt to business needs and security concerns. Using metrics, such as
the number of tickets submitted within a time frame before and after a software update
would be used to show that the update successfully mitigated most or all of an issue. Along
the same lines the average amount of time between when a ticket was opened until it was
closed would be used show that a given IT group is not able to handle the workload and
more staff may be needed. These types of metrics allow for performance improvements
based relative quantitative analysis, another example being the number of purchases
licenses compared to the number in use. This could lead to better bulk licensing savings if
the company to close to threshold and expects to need more, or a reduction in the number
of licenses renewed if most are going unused.
The second metric to be considered is network flow metrics, these metrics generally show a
high level view of the trafic on a network, or a device. Viewing the network flow analysis,
will help to guide decisions around future subtinet partitions as well as highlighting areas of
concern. These types of metrics could lead to moving a high trafic device off of a congested
subtinet into a new subtinet allowing better trafic flow to the low trafic devices. These types
of metrics can improve performance, justify decisions and spending, and provide evidence
that the infrastructure is running eficiently.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security
risks being considered, impacts to the network usage itself can be considered.
Assuming a self hosted digital storefront for eticommerce we would expect to see a
significant increase in trafic to and from the business to the internet. Considering a cloud
solution instead, it would be expected to alleviate most of the customer trafic, but could still
be impacted by employees reaching out to site.
Furthermore if employee are then given mobile devices, laptops, cellphones, or tablets, it is

of metrics can improve performance, justify decisions and spending, and provide evidence
that the infrastructure is running eficiently.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security
risks being considered, impacts to the network usage itself can be considered.
Assuming a self hosted digital storefront for eticommerce we would expect to see a
significant increase in trafic to and from the business to the internet. Considering a cloud
solution instead, it would be expected to alleviate most of the customer trafic, but could still
be impacted by employees reaching out to site.
Furthermore if employee are then given mobile devices, laptops, cellphones, or tablets, it is
expected that the trafic to and from the network will increase significantly as well. It would
be expected to allow for a connection through a VPN, virtual private network, to enable
access to all or specific business network resources while adding an additional layer of
security.
A final consideration is the construction of the network itself, is it configured in a way that
can accommodate all the extra devices in each network subtinet. If each employee goes
from a single work computer, to having a work computer plus one additional device maybe
a laptop or a tablet the number of IP addresses needed would double.
Metrics for Measuring IT Operations
IT operations cover a plethora of tasks, roles, and responsibilities making accurate metrics
essential for measuring the success of operations and the value of infrastructure changes.
Metrics can be used to demonstrate how well the infrastructure is operating or the
improvement of a given process or operation. When it comes to measuring the overall
health and quality of IT operations, the go to metrics revolve around ticketing. When
considering day to day operations, there are bound to be issues and changes that are
needed to continually adapt to business needs and security concerns. Using metrics, such as
the number of tickets submitted within a time frame before and after a software update
would be used to show that the update successfully mitigated most or all of an issue. Along
the same lines the average amount of time between when a ticket was opened until it was
closed would be used show that a given IT group is not able to handle the workload and
more staff may be needed. These types of metrics allow for performance improvements
based relative quantitative analysis, another example being the number of purchases
licenses compared to the number in use. This could lead to better bulk licensing savings if
the company to close to threshold and expects to need more, or a reduction in the number
of licenses renewed if most are going unused.
The second metric to be considered is network flow metrics, these metrics generally show a

the same lines the average amount of time between when a ticket was opened until it was
closed would be used show that a given IT group is not able to handle the workload and
more staff may be needed. These types of metrics allow for performance improvements
based relative quantitative analysis, another example being the number of purchases
licenses compared to the number in use. This could lead to better bulk licensing savings if
the company to close to threshold and expects to need more, or a reduction in the number
of licenses renewed if most are going unused.
The second metric to be considered is network flow metrics, these metrics generally show a
high level view of the trafic on a network, or a device. Viewing the network flow analysis,
will help to guide decisions around future subtinet partitions as well as highlighting areas of
concern. These types of metrics could lead to moving a high trafic device off of a congested
subtinet into a new subtinet allowing better trafic flow to the low trafic devices. These types
of metrics can improve performance, justify decisions and spending, and provide evidence
that the infrastructure is running eficiently.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security
risks being considered, impacts to the network usage itself can be considered.
Assuming a self hosted digital storefront for eticommerce we would expect to see a
significant increase in trafic to and from the business to the internet. Considering a cloud
solution instead, it would be expected to alleviate most of the customer trafic, but could still
be impacted by employees reaching out to site.
Furthermore if employee are then given mobile devices, laptops, cellphones, or tablets, it is
expected that the trafic to and from the network will increase significantly as well. It would
be expected to allow for a connection through a VPN, virtual private network, to enable
access to all or specific business network resources while adding an additional layer of
security.
A final consideration is the construction of the network itself, is it configured in a way that
can accommodate all the extra devices in each network subtinet. If each employee goes
from a single work computer, to having a work computer plus one additional device maybe
a laptop or a tablet the number of IP addresses needed would double.
Metrics for Measuring IT Operations
IT operations cover a plethora of tasks, roles, and responsibilities making accurate metrics
essential for measuring the success of operations and the value of infrastructure changes.
Metrics can be used to demonstrate how well the infrastructure is operating or the
improvement of a given process or operation. When it comes to measuring the overall
health and quality of IT operations, the go to metrics revolve around ticketing. When
considering day to day operations, there are bound to be issues and changes that are

can accommodate all the extra devices in each network subtinet. If each employee goes
from a single work computer, to having a work computer plus one additional device maybe
a laptop or a tablet the number of IP addresses needed would double.
Metrics for Measuring IT Operations
IT operations cover a plethora of tasks, roles, and responsibilities making accurate metrics
essential for measuring the success of operations and the value of infrastructure changes.
Metrics can be used to demonstrate how well the infrastructure is operating or the
improvement of a given process or operation. When it comes to measuring the overall
health and quality of IT operations, the go to metrics revolve around ticketing. When
considering day to day operations, there are bound to be issues and changes that are
needed to continually adapt to business needs and security concerns. Using metrics, such as
the number of tickets submitted within a time frame before and after a software update
would be used to show that the update successfully mitigated most or all of an issue. Along
the same lines the average amount of time between when a ticket was opened until it was
closed would be used show that a given IT group is not able to handle the workload and
more staff may be needed. These types of metrics allow for performance improvements
based relative quantitative analysis, another example being the number of purchases
licenses compared to the number in use. This could lead to better bulk licensing savings if
the company to close to threshold and expects to need more, or a reduction in the number
of licenses renewed if most are going unused.
The second metric to be considered is network flow metrics, these metrics generally show a
high level view of the trafic on a network, or a device. Viewing the network flow analysis,
will help to guide decisions around future subtinet partitions as well as highlighting areas of
concern. These types of metrics could lead to moving a high trafic device off of a congested
subtinet into a new subtinet allowing better trafic flow to the low trafic devices. These types
of metrics can improve performance, justify decisions and spending, and provide evidence
that the infrastructure is running eficiently.
Implementation of proper firewalls, and network segmentation will help to prevent the
more direct forms of attack. Whereas proper training along side controlled and limited
access, will help to prevent the devastation a successful phishing attack will bring. Security
risks being considered, impacts to the network usage itself can be considered.
Assuming a self hosted digital storefront for eticommerce we would expect to see a
significant increase in trafic to and from the business to the internet. Considering a cloud
solution instead, it would be expected to alleviate most of the customer trafic, but could still
be impacted by employees reaching out to site.
Furthermore if employee are then given mobile devices, laptops, cellphones, or tablets, it is
expected that the trafic to and from the network will increase significantly as well. It would
be expected to allow for a connection through a VPN, virtual private network, to enable
access to all or specific business network resources while adding an additional layer of
security.
