4. Project Overview
“For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project
with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did.
And I get the sweats. I go in and start working, I'm not sure
where I'm going. If I knew where I was going I wouldn't do it.”
-Frank Gehry

20. Risk Management

“Carelessness and overconfidence are usually more
dangerous than deliberately accepted risks.”
-Orville Wright
21. Risk Management Plan
21ITT TECHNICAL INSTITUTE - 086 GETZVILLE - NSA CAPSTONE - WINTER 2015/16
Risk Area Probability Impact Risk Plan
1. Flooding due
to facility
location
Low High Elevated the servers to 4 feet from the
floor; seal the server room; equip room
with flood-proofing safeguards
2. Hardware
delay
Medium Medium Investigate cause of delay and formulate
appropriate plan of action, such as:
• Contact vendor for expedited delivery
of new hardware (lost/damage
delivery)
• Find new vendor (vendor-induced
delay)

29. Workstation Naming Convention
ITT TECHNICAL INSTITUTE - 086 GETZVILLE - NSA CAPSTONE - WINTER 2015/16 29
Workstation naming scheme will follow a basic standardize convention:
OCL[DEPT]Wks[ID#]
• OCL: Orange Creek Lexington – Organization & facility location
• [DEPT]: Shorthand identifier of Department
• Wks: Initialism for “Workstation”
• [ID#]: Numeric identifier for the workstation
Examples:
• OCLQAL1Wks01: Quality Assurance Lab 1
• OCLProdWks99: Production
• OCLExecWks13: Executive Offices
Editor's Notes
Conducted by PROJMGR: Introduction of Team and members.
Progress of the Presentation-
Overview: What the project is asking for.
Solution: Hardware solution to the project
Implement.: Configuration and layout
Management: Scheduling, Risks
Cost Analysis: Basic costs breakdown (by category)
Summary: Review the presentation (final sales pitch push)
Section Title page: Good place for presenter switch over (if needed) before continuing.
Again, the following section details the essential requirements of the project.
This is a rewording of the original assignment/project description handed out AKA Request For Proposal (RFP)
Fairly self-explanatory.
This is a breakdown of what will/can do versus what we can’t/won’t according to the requirements given (Remember the client interviews).
This is mainly a checklist, so should be self explanatory.
Mostly a checklist, but there are some details to be aware of:
Occupancy Timetable: Target is within 140 days of contract commencement
Documentation & Training: New software infrastructure (Windows Server 2012 R2 + Exchange 2013)
Current Needs: 150 to 200 employees
Future Growth: 20%-40% projection over next 5 years
Dependencies are in the “This project completion (main bullet) allows this next project (sub-bullet)” format.
The reasoning/relationships are hopefully obvious.
Title page: Presenter turnover (?)
Breakdown of the main server room build.
Physical servers are for essential services that should always be available in some fashion.
DHCP is not mentioned, but may be added to the AD servers of implemented as a service via a VM server instance.
VM provide the client a means of quickly expanding the backend service temporarily (say while waiting for more dedicated servers) as well as providing the main QA testing servers.
Xeon CPU: Enterprise-grade processors (reliability)
Cores/Thread: Processing capacity (NOTE: Total count is #CPU * Core/Thread)
TDP: Heat dissipation (Blade enclosure should handle this)
QPI is the connection speed between CPUs in a server. Allows data sharing among CPUs.
ECC helps eliminate errors
Registered RAM is buffered RAM: design for providing reliable signaling.
The above should be noted relative to client’s involvement in banking SW Dev: errors are BAD.
Storage: Phys. Server are basic config. VMs have SSDs for speed (potentially lots of disk access). Sizes assume main data storage on SAN.
RAID 5 for balance of speed and redundancy.
Phys. Server network cards mainly for failover and throughput. VM Ethernet NIC is for VMs.
Common workstation/platform eases maintenance and management: Everything is the same on the user side.
Laptops points indicate intended usage/issuance. Note that it is a another common platform: Only 2 unique client systems in the company to deal with.
-IP Cameras use Ethernet as well, so the installation can be done at the same time as the main network cable drops.
-PoE – Power over Ethernet: The cameras can be powered over the network cable as well. Eliminates need for a separate power connection.
High resolution provides details in video.
Client system specs were pretty barebones, so not much to cover offhand.
Maybe mention that the laptop has more RAM and an SSD to help offset it’s slower CPU. (Extra RAM and an SSD make a computer >FEEL< faster/snappier.)
If asked, SSD size is enough to handle OS installation (WINDOWS 7!) and essential software; small size would also help prevent users from cramming junk onto them.
OS is Win7. Most businesses stick with proven OSes, especially ones with custom software development like Orange Creek does. If asked, Win10 is optional and perhaps either be substituted IF REQUESTED or let client handle that in the future.
Diagram is roughly set into 4 areas:
Upper Left – ISP/WAN/Demark
Upper Right – Server Room/Back End
Lower Left – Isolated Networks
Lower Right – User-facing
-Framework Solution: This is a rewording of “Solid foundation”. Same idea: the framework can be built upon and expanded.
-Everything else is basically as originally intended.
