This document outlines instructions for Part 5 of a multi-part assignment. It consists of two sections: 1) an infrastructure document justifying and designing the network infrastructure and security protocols for a data analytics company expanding from 1 to 3 floors, and 2) a revised project plan using Microsoft Project to update the plan from a previous deliverable. The infrastructure document must include graphical representations of the logical and physical network layout, server placements, and a comprehensive security policy. It must be 4-6 pages long following specific formatting guidelines. The revised project plan must add 3-5 new tasks consisting of 5-10 subtasks each to update the plan from a prior assignment.

1. This is 5 of 6 deliverables. Meaning the same company (
IQR Consulting- Data Analytics) must be used for each
assignment. Here's the link for the company:

***PART 5***
This assignment consists of two (2) sections: an infrastructure
document and a revised Gantt chart or project plan.
You must submit both sections as separate files for the
completion of this assignment.
Label each file name according to the section of the assignment
it is written for. Additionally, you may create and / or assume
all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this
assignment.
The use of specific software has been suggested however
equivalents including but not limited to OpenOffice, Dia, and
Open Project are also permitted. If equivalent tools are used,
files must be saved and submitted for grading using extensions
that are readable by their equivalent Microsoft Windows
edition. Assignment submissions that fail to follow this request
may result in a reduced grade.
The infrastructure which encompasses the network solution and
security considerations is a major consideration for your
company. Considering that the company will be expanding from
one (1) floor to three (3) floors in the very near future you, as
the CIO, are responsible for the design of the infrastructure and
security protocols. You have been tasked with designing a

2. network that is stable, redundant, and scalable. In addition,
speed and reliability are important considerations. Assumptions
should be drawn regarding network usage in relationship to
network services and resources. All the established criteria that
were set at the onset should be adhered to within your plan. The
network solution that is chosen should support the conceived
information system and allow for scalability. The network
infrastructure will support organizational operations; therefore,
a pictorial view of workstations, servers, routers, bridges,
gateways, and access points should be used. In addition, access
paths for Internet access should be depicted. Additionally, the
security of the network should be in the forefront of your design
because protecting your data is a primary consideration.
Section 1: Infrastructure Document
Write a four to six (4-6) page infrastructure document in which
you:
Justify and support the relationship between infrastructure and
security as it relates to this data-collection and analysis
company.
Present the rationale for the logical and physical topographical
layout of the planned network.
Design a logical and physical topographical layout of the
current and planned network through the use of graphical tools
in Microsoft Word or Visio, or an open source alternative such
as Dia.
Note:
The graphically depicted solution is not included in the
required page length.
Illustrate the possible placement of servers including access
paths to the Internet, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and
firewalls.
Note:
Facility limitations, workstations, databases, printers, routers,
switches, bridges, and access points should be considered in the
illustration.

3. Create and describe a comprehensive security policy for this
data-collection and analysis company that will:
i.
Protect the company infrastructure and assets by applying the
principals of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA).
Note:
CIA is a widely used benchmark for evaluation of information
systems security, focusing on the three (3) core goals of
confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.
ii.
Address ethical aspects related to employee behavior,
contractors, password usage, and access to networked resources
and information.
Section 1 of your assignment must follow these formatting
requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size
12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references
must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your
professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the
date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in
the required assignment page length.
Include charts or diagrams created in MS Visio or Dia as an
appendix of the infrastructure document. All references to these
diagrams must be included in the body of the infrastructure
document.
Section 2: Revised Project Plan
Use Microsoft Project to:

4. Update the project plan from Project Deliverable 4: Analytics,
Interfaces, and Cloud Technology
,
with three to five (3-5)
new
project tasks each consisting of five to ten (5-10) sub-tasks.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this
assignment are:
·
Develop information systems-related activities to maximize the
business value within and outside the organization.
·
Demonstrate an understanding of existing and emerging
information technologies, the functions of IS, and its impact on
the organizational operations.
·
Evaluate the issues and challenges associated with information
systems integration.
·
Use technology and information resources to research issues in
information systems.
·
Write clearly and concisely about strategic issues and practices
in the information systems domain using proper writing
mechanics and technical style conventions.
