 Please make sure you submit two files: a) a .do file with your stata code that can be executed by the TAs, and b) a word document with your written answers to the questions including any figures and tables.  

 Week 6 Assignment – Infrastructure Design
Overview
This is the third in a series of five sequential assignments (the course project) in which you continue to act as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of a hypothetical e-commerce start-up company of your design.
You have been working on delivering an information technology project plan in anticipation of the company relocating to a new facility.

• In the first course project deliverable, you created a project plan inception document and supporting Gantt chart.
• In the second course project deliverable, you developed the business requirements to be incorporated into the information systems design you are creating. You also updated your original supporting Gantt chart based on major and minor tasks identified in the business requirements document.
• In this third course project deliverable, you will create an infrastructure design that considers the key elements of software, hardware, security, and business process flow for your e-commerce startup company. You will also use graphical tools to create a supporting data flow diagram (DFD) for your infrastructure design. The infrastructure design provides an opportunity to visualize the key elements and how they are connected for maximum effectiveness.
  This assignment consists of two-parts:
  Part 1: Infrastructure Design
  You will create an 8–10-page infrastructure design document to include key technical elements for your hypothetical e-commerce company’s information systems infrastructure.
  Part 2: Updated Gantt Chart
  You will use Microsoft Project to again update the supporting project Gantt chart begun in your first course project deliverable:
• You are not creating a new Gantt chart, only updating the one you created in the previous assignment with the major and minor tasks uncovered while creating the infrastructure design document.
• Note:
• You are to create or assume all necessary assumptions to successfully complete this assignment.
• You must submit both parts as separate files to the assignment area. Label each file name according to the appropriate part.
• Instructions
  Part 1: Infrastructure Design
  Create an 8–10-page infrastructure design document in which you:

1. Identify the major hardware and software components of your hypothetical e-commerce company’s information systems infrastructure.
2. Design your e-commerce company’s hardware (database and proxy servers, network equipment) and software (analytics, big data, API, content management) from a size, scale, type, and interoperability standards perspective.
3. Document the potential security vulnerabilities and a security design for your e-commerce company.
4. Use graphical tools to create a data flow diagram (DFD) for your e-commerce company.
5. Use three sources to support your writing.
   • Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate.
   • Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment.
   • Access the library or review library guides for help with research, writing, and citation.
6. Part 2: Updated Gantt Chart
   Use Microsoft Project to update the previously created Gantt chart with the major and minor tasks identified in the infrastructure design document.
   Formatting
   This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. Note the following:

• The preferred method is for the infrastructure design portion of your assignment to be typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
• Include a cover page containing the assignment title, your name, your professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
• Include a source list page. Citations and references must follow SWS format. The source list page is not included in the required page length.
• Learning Outcomes
  The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
• Propose a design to address hardware, software, and security aspects of an entity’s information systems infrastructure.

For this assignment you are required to develop a 3-page website using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).  You need to choose what you will like to display on your website. The topic is up to you. The requirements for the assignment are as follows:

 Each page must contain the following:

• Title, Heading, paragraph, image, link, background color (other than white) and text color (other than black)

In addition, the site must contain the following at least:

• 1 horizontal rule
• 1 external link

Please see attached for rubric and resources need. Follow instructions on the attach document.

 Referencing the Learning Resources for this module, choose a different question from the previous discussion in the research project list and answer it in relation to an issue in music and technology. 

1. What is the problem for which this technology is the solution?
2. Whose problem is it?
3. Which people and what institutions might be most seriously harmed by a technological solution?
4. What new problems might be created because we have solved this problem?
5. What sort of people and institutions might acquire special economic and political power because of technological change?
6. What changes in language are being enforced by new technologies, and what is being gained and lost by such changes?

According to the authors, privacy and security go hand in hand; and hence, privacy cannot be protected without implementing proper security controls and technologies. Today, organizations must make not only reasonable efforts to offer protection of privacy of data, but also must go much further as privacy breaches are damaging to its customers, reputation, and potentially could put the company out of business.  As we continue learning from our various professional areas of practice, its no doubt that breaches have become an increasing concern to many businesses and their future operations.   

For this discussion, find an example of a security breach which compromised data records at a company in the same industry as you will be using in your final paper. Summarize the breach, discuss the data that was lost and identify security controls that you would recommend be in place (be certain to remember to cite sources) that could have prevented this breach from occurring. Remember to critical respond appropriately to two other leaners for full points.

 One of the ways in which usability professionals collect data, and for that matter academic professionals, is the use of a survey instrument. In this assignment, you’ll create a paper-based survey instrument evaluating a mobile application or Website. In the assignment, you are expected to include: 

• Participant Demographic Data (Name, Age, Gender, Location, Education etc.)
• Participation Consent
• 8 – 10 Measurable Quantitative Questions (Using a scale to support measurement, i.e., Likert)
• 2 – 4 Qualitative Questions

Leverage the literature and textbook examples in your instrument creation. This survey is a PAPER PROTOTYPE not to be completed using a survey instrument such as Survey Monkey.
