Project proposals are rarely accepted in their entirety in the first round. Usually what occurs is a series of back and forth between the proposing party and the sponsor to ensure that questions and tweaks are made before committing to move forward.

Congratulations, your proposal was one of the chosen few to move forward to the second round. Unfortunately, the project sponsor has some change requests that he would like for you to consider before submitting your proposal to the board.

1. Request 1: Decrease total budget by 15%.

1. Request 2: Decrease time to completion by 25%.

1. Request 3: Create a role within the project that manages all security procedures for the data center (if not already identified) entitled ‘security specialist’.

1. Request 4: Provide an estimate of the cost per year for a data center security specialist.

1. Request 5: Develop and document a change request that enhances the value that the project will deliver to the sponsor and company. Hint: Consider a request that enhances a technical aspect of the solution.

As the project manager for this proposal, you are empowered to accommodate for requests as appropriate. Support any decision made with solid data. Be sure to consider the success of the project as you commit to making changes to cost and timelines. Include your decisions and updates in your project proposal (approximately six pages in length). Include any and all models, diagrams, wireframes, topography, and graphics needed to support your proposal.

Submit your proposal to your group’s discussion board (no later than 4 days before the assignment is due). Likewise, provide constructive feedback on the proposals posted by your group members (no less than 2 days before the assignment is due).

Draft an email as a response to the requests by your sponsor (maximum of two pages). This email will serve three purposes: Justify and explain the changes made to your proposal, then communicate the cost estimates of the security specialist. Lastly, determine whether a cloud solution or an on-site managed data center would be feasible for your project. Explain the benefits and pitfalls of both.

Submit your assignment as one document, beginning with the email and concluding with your final proposal.

Narrative Descriptions of Network Diagrams for International Plastics Inc.

The set of network diagrams for International Plastics Inc. consists of five (5) diagrams. They are as follows:

International Plastics Inc. – Network Overview

This diagram shows the 4 physical locations of International Plastics Inc. interconnected by a WAN. The WAN connection between corporate headquarters and the China facility is specifically designed as a satellite link. Along with the location pictorial is a listing of the main functions taking place at that location and the number of current employees. 

International Plastics Inc. Corporate Headquarters

The network diagram for the corporate headquarters is really a composite of a number of sections: Note the backbone base for this location is 100baseT. 

1. The administration section displays the main operational functions (Corporate, HR, etc.) with a computer icon that defines the current number of employees in that function with a description of the computer. There are 36 VOIP telephones in this section. 

2. The R&D function has a 1000baseF network backbone and is a totally MAC-based environment. There are 15 employees each with their computers; the section includes 3 high-end color printers and a plotter. The 1000baseF network is connected to the corporate LAN through a switch.

3. The servers and aNAS include WIN server, a WIN Exchange server, a UNIX server, which hosts the corporate SAP ERP SW. All the servers are IBM servers: the WIN servers are IBM HS20 blade servers and the main UNIX server is an IBM p series. 

4. A UPS provides backup power for the server room.

5. The last section is the communications environment, which has two main parts: the data link to the Satellite base station through a switch and a VOIP router to connect the two facilities with voice. The satellite operates in Ka band and is setup to handle an OC1 data rate with end-to-end encryption. The second part of the communications environment is a router providing a T3 connection through a firewall to the outside network.

International Plastics Inc. – Albany, GA Network Diagram

The Albany network includes 20 office computers for the administration people in the facility. The local server is an HP BL460P blade server, which handles local print; file, exchange and interfaces back to the home office. A local NAS system provides local data backup. A 5KVA UPS is provides for power backup. A link to the router/firewall provides the T2 connection to the outside network. Internally the factory floor is connected to the main LAN through a 24 port Cisco switch. 

International Plastics Inc. – Pontiac MI Network Diagram

The Pontiac network includes 45 office computers for the administration people in the facility. The local server is an HP BL460P blade server, which handles local print, file, exchange and interfaces back to the home office. A local NAS system provided local data backup. A 5KVA UPS is provides for power backup. A link to the router/firewall provides the T2 connection to the outside network. Internally the factory floor is connected to the main LAN through a 24 port Cisco switch.

Just change these two assignments into your own words. 

To add two functions the questions are asking you develop: divideMid and divideAt.
 

4.(Dividing a linked list into two sublists of almost equal sizes)
a. Add the operation divideMid to the class linkedListType as follows:
void divideMid(linkedListType &sublist);
//This operation divides the given list into two sublist
//of (almost) equal sizes.
//Postcondition: first points to the first node and last
// points to the last node of the first sublist.
// sublist.first points to the first node and
//sublist.last points to the last node of the second
//sublist.
Consider the following statements:
unorderedLinkedList myList;
unorderedLinkedList subList;
Suppose myList points to the list with elements 34 65 27 89 12 (in this order). The
statement:
myList.divideMid(subList);
divides myList into two sublists: myList points to the list with the elements 34 65 27,
and subList points to the sublist with the elements 89 12.
b. Write the definition of the function template to implement the operation divideMid. Also
write a program to test your function.
 

5.(splitting a linked list, at a given node, into two sublists)
a. Add the following operation to the class LinkedListType:
void divideAt (LinkedListClass& secondList, const Type& item);
//Divide the list at the node with the info item into two sublists.
//Postcondition: first and last point to the first and last nodes of the first sublist.
// secondList.first and secondList.last point to the first
// and last nodes of the second sublist.
 

Consider the following statements:
 

UnorderedLinkedList myList;
UnorderedLinkedList otherList;
 

Suppose myList points to the list with the elements 34, 65, 18, 39, 27, 89, and 12 (in this order). The statement
 

myList.DivideAt(otherList, 18);
Divides myList into two sublists: myList points to the list with elements 34 and 65, and otherList points to the sublist with elements 18, 39, 27, 89, and 12.
b. Write the defintion of the funcction template to implement the operation divideAt. Also write a program to test your function.
