Each student will create a detailed, organized, unified technical solution given the scenario described below. The submission will be in a written format, with at least one diagram, and may include additional diagrams, charts or tables. The assignment is meant for students to enhance their mastery of the material and to provide a creative and realistic way in which to apply knowledge from this course. 

Scenario
“We Make Windows”, Inc. (referred to as “WMW”) has hired you as an IT consultant for implementing their Windows network infrastructure. WMW is a new advertising firm, and they are currently hiring staff, establishing two locations, and have a need to get their internal IT services configured. They do not yet have an IT staff, but when they do, the IT staff will take over all aspects of IT administration. You are required to supply WMW with a solution which describes the implementation and configuration of their core IT services. Cost is not a significant concern – WMW wishes to implement the “right” solution to fit their needs now and for the next 2-3 years.

There are several details about WMW which will have an impact on your choices:

· WMW will start with 90 employees, in the following departments:

o Executives (9 employees) – manage and run the company

o Accounts and Sales Department (15 employees) – perform market research and maintain accounts

o Creative, Media and Production Department (49 employees) – advertising

o Human Resources and Finances (12 employees) – perform HR and financial duties

o IT (5 employees) – manage IT for the company

o WMW will have two sites, one in Los Angeles and one in New York. Most staff will be located in LA, with at least 1 person from each of the departments above located in NY.

· Networking equipment is already in place for both sites. A secure tunnel (using IPSec) will be established between the two sites so that inter-site traffic will be securely tunneled over the Internet. You may make whatever other assumptions you wish about intra-and inter-site connectivity. Please be sure to state these assumptions.

· Security mechanisms (e.g., firewalls, intrusion detection) will be handled separately, and there is no need to describe them.

· Some departments will want their data to remain private from other departments (e.g., Finances personnel will not want Production staff to see the company’s financial details). You may make assumptions about how data should be shared or kept private, but they must be stated in your paper.

· Assumptions can be made regarding any information not included here; all assumptions should be identified, however.

Topics to Cover
Your document should cover the content presented in the course. The outline below contains recommended points to cover. You are free to add other related information.

Describe the technical and business reasons for each choice, citing other resources as appropriate.

The Windows Server 2016 operating system should be used for all aspects of the solution.

 Your company is experiencing decline in business because of competition. Your manager thinks they may be able to turn the company around if they can get help from an IT professional on E-Commerce and Mobile Technologies. Assume your company is a traditional retail entity similar to Sears, Macy’s or K-Mart, suggest ways your company can use E-Commerce and Mobile Technologies to increase its visibility and sales. In your discussion, explain what is E-Commerce and Mobile Technology. 

Students will create a Disaster Recovery Plan for either the organization they work for or one they wish to work for in the future.  The plan will follow the template/example provided.

Question for Week7:

In week #4, your midterm project was to provide a security assessment for Vestige, Inc, an online software company that specialize in selling ad spaces in their parent company’s magazine.  Vestige manages an online database that allows their customers to upload and pay for their business ads for magazine placement.  Because Vestige’s database needs to connect to the parent company’s database, the parent company has requested that Vestige system be assessed and verified as secure.

Now that you have provided your security assessment, the next step is to provide Vestige, Inc. with your Security Portfolio. Using this week’s Reading on the NIST framework that includes the 5-step process for creating a balanced portfolio of security products, your assignment will be to create a Security Portfolio with the following sections:

1. Cover Page (i.e. APA title page)

2. Background (provide a synopsis your midterm security assessment on Vestige)

3. For each security need identified (or needs to be identified) from your Week #4’s Midterm Assignment, Find the products that will deliver the needed capabilities for the right price, and tell why you chose that product.

This assignment should be about the security needs only.  Do NOT discuss how the client can achieve more business (That is not your job). Please use  APA format and include at least two references.
