need help with continuity plan

  

See zip file: InternationalPlasticsIncNetwork.zip

Throughout the course key concepts and activities have underscored the value of effective and efficient enterprise network management. An enterprise requires a Business Continuity Plan in order to restore and maintain essential corporate networking services and information protection during a crisis that can originate from a natural disaster to the compromise of network resources and information sources by an external or internal attack. The Learning Team assignments provide the opportunity for each student in a team context to use the acquired knowledge and experience to integrate these concepts into a Business

Continuity Plan.

Scenario: Your Learning Team is a group of IT professionals who are hired to develop and present a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to senior management for approval and funding. Your team must prepare a PowerPoint®  presentation to educate senior management about the need for the BCP and describe the technical details of your proposal.

Use the International Plastics, Inc. documentation, resources used in the course, and additional outside sources to create the Business Continuity Plan (referred to as BCP).

Compile your outline, drawings, and explanation from prior Learning Team submissions. These are to be used in your presentation to senior management as handouts to support your plan.

Create a 5- to 6-slide Microsoft®  PowerPoint®  presentation with speaker notes that address the following:

•  Provide a concise view of the business continuity plan

•  Provide insights on how your plan will address vulnerabilities

•  Persuade senior leadership to approve and fund the proposed BCP

•  The presentation should be engaging; use relevant figures and diagrams

•  Citations must be included in each slide as a note and follow APA guidelines

Submit the Business Continuity Plan presentation for International Plastics using the Assignment Files tab.

Explanation ;
The above diagram was drawn with the aid of Visio drawing software. It is a provides the solution for the weakness for International Plastics Inc’s network as observed in the Albany office. The first thing was to include a redundant source of power supply that would ensure that the network would be operational even during periods of unstable power supply. The network also encompasses strategic placing of switches, routers and bridges which are interconnected with each other to ensure that there is effective and efficient communication between different network nodes and components (Hartpence, 2011). There is also the inclusion of wireless transmission to ensure that employees are connected wirelessly when in the building. Different types of cables are used with the fiber cable being the backbone of the network from which other components are based on. The network protocols encompassed in the design include: straight bus topology, the use of ATM routing and the Ethernet protocol that uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) in communication. These protocols ensure that there is effective communication and avoidance of unnecessary collisions/broadcasts in the network (Hartpence, 2011).

International Plastic-Network Overview

Explanation

The above diagram was drawn with the aid of Visio. It provides the solution for International Plastics, Inc.’s network need to update / maintain a Microsoft Exchange environment.

Office 365 (O365) will allow International Plastics, Inc. to re-route resources currently used to maintain the current Exchange environment to focus on other network server tasks. O365 environment will provide International Plastics, Inc. with several benefits to include the following:

· greater uptime with by utilizing Microsoft’s datacenters instead of maintaining own redundant sites

· reduced onsite hardware both in server and storage by utilizing Microsoft’s datacenters

· reduced licensing of server OS, backup software by moving to Microsoft’s datacenters and O365 subscription model to only pay for seats and features needed
