Executive Summary of International Plastics
Kevin Moore
Jonathan Olson
IT INFRASTRUCTURE CMGT/554
01/24/2021
Plastic fans, plastic beverage containers and custom plastic
parts are all key products of the International Plastics Inc.
There are three locations for those products in Us and one in
China. The four locations are found in a Wide Area Network,
with San Jose, in California being the headquarters of the
centralized network. The director or the Chief executive Officer
of the corporation understands very well that there is an urgent

need in reviewing and redesigning the IT infrastructure that is
there currently. He has gone forward to give recommendations
on the preparation of the IT infrastructure review report with
upgrade recommendations. The major purpose of such a process
is on cost savings and business performance improvement.
The environment in which the operations are taking place in the
organization is that all the locations have a very committed
infrastructural hardware. They all have a very advanced IT
Infrastructure, albeit the fact that the initial infrastructure
design cannot assist the business in achieving its targets in the
current market. Immediately after the meeting, the Network
administrators and IT managers, it was agreed that the main
focus will be about gathering the requirements for the upgrade
of the infrastructure that will among other things; It will make
the enterprise network more efficient and improve it, Enhancing
the Information systems that will align to the vision and growth
of the organization, focusing on the improvement of
applications of the enterprise, data management systems, the
business intelligence applications, the overall security and the
mobile computing environments.
In the initial analysis, there were important pain areas that had
been noted; The IT infrastructure in place now need higher
costs for network maintenance and higher costs; The system is
also not meant to in serving the mobile devices that need to be
improved because mobile computing is highly needed in
sustaining the businesses; Also, the current network systems are
not meant in accommodating any slight changes and should be
enhanced so that in case of any changes, they can be readily
applied. This simply means that the network has to be very
strong. Together with the enterprise applications, the focus will
be on coming up with the real time analytical applications that
shall offer valuable insights to the trends and which will the
organization in remaining competitive in the market.
The whole globe is experiencing evolution especially in
Enterprise applications and Networking inside an organization
has to be bright and play an important role to improve the

business performance. To take advantage of the technology, the
organization can offer enhancement to the systems in existence
to improve on the productivity overall.
In conclusion, to facilitate the growth and make sure there is
continuity of International Plastics business which should
upgrade or improve some aspects of the IT infrastruc ture
currently in place. The review of the systems in place now has
given information that the corporation can work on in ensuring
that its IT infrastructure is available, scalable and secure. The
business processes need to offer for a holistic view of cus tomer
information and redundant or mitigate inaccurate data. Such
tasks will be achieved through upgrade of migration of
important applications to virtualized hosts, migration to the
hosted SAP ERP solution with the add on of CRM and SCM
from SAP, securing communications by VPN connections as
well as cabling. Others include the reduction of costs and
improved communications through implementation of VOIP
while instituting a strong ecommerce plan in facilitating the
presence and communications.

TELECOMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS 4

Telecommunication Protocols
Kevin Moore
Jonathan Olson
01/24/2021
Recommend improvements based on your assessment.
Based on my assessment and after evaluation, all the
recommendations for international plastics to be the essential
and useful way a company should upgrade from using CAT5,
and they start using CAT6a. However, the company must be
willing to make changes after presenting all the benefits to its
CEO, addressing all the advantages and disadvantages.
Explain how you arrived at this recommendation.
I saw this recommendation that I came along with as crucial

because any telecommunication company requires a very high
speed. Therefore, changing from CAT5a to CAT6 will serve the
purpose.
Discuss options you weighed before arriving at this
recommendation.
There are many options that I had to look at before arriving at
that decision. For instance, infrastructure is not being stated
clearly, and there may be changes that may happen. The issue of
changing to Cat6a means there will be CCTV installation and
cameras, which will help CAT6 run smoothly and improve the
wiring system. In the long run, there will be benefits from the
international wiring system, which will benefit the present and
future generations (Popovic, 2018).
Outline the advantages and disadvantages of this
recommendation.
When the company starts CAT6a, some advantages will come
about as a result of this the transfer rate for the company will
improve the transfer rate of up to 10Gbpsand this would mean
that there will be a transfer of very high speed from one point
and another which will be 100 times faster. CAT6ahas a more
excellent performance in terms of price. Many international
plastic corporations have opted for this high speed because of
its high speed.
Please explain how your recommendation helps the company
effectively blend their telecommunications and computer
networks.
Recommendation of change from CAT5 to CAT6a since it has
high speed of transferring data and this, in the long run, will
help the company to increase its performance, sped and stability
therefore with this the company will effectively blend with
other telecommunications. When there are pieces of proper
wireless equipment and protocol, therefore wireless
transmission of data will increase (Popovic, 2018).

UPDATED NETWORK DIAGRAMS: JUSTIFICATION, RISKS,
AND MITIGATIONS 6
Justification of the changes to the network diagrams, risks, and
mitigations
Kevin Moore

Introduction

A network system should have a properly functional
infrastructure to achieve its purpose and ensure optimal
performance. For this reason, it is proper that staffing be
adequate to handle the required technical maneuvers. Besides,
the network system should be running on the latest technology
available to not suffer from the demerits of obsolete technology.
This is because the world of technology keeps evolving,
especially in this era where quantum computing, artificial
intelligence, the internet of things, machine learning, and
virtual reality are pondering topics.
Changes to the International Plastics Inc. – Network Overview
The original diagram shows how possibly the headquarters is
understaffed compared to the overwhelming number of
employees are the subsidiaries. Since there are many employees
at the subsidiaries, totaling 425, the headquarters, which
currently has just 125 employees, should have at least have 50%
of the total staffing at the subsidiaries. This should make the
staffing at the headquarter about 212, an increment of 87
(69.5%). This is with a general assumption that the subsidiaries
are performing at the optimum with their current staffing.
Changes to the International Plastics Inc. Corporate
Headquarters
The backbone connection has been changed from 100baseT to
1000baseT so that more connections can be interlinked
simultaneously and making the communication process
essentially faster (Margaret, 2020). Also, video cameras have
been added to the network system so easy surveillance and
monitoring. Backup serves have also been added to aid with
data security. A firewall has been added and updated.
Changes to International Plastics Inc. – Albany, GA Network
Diagram
The link to the outside network connections has been updated to
be a T3 connection instead of a T2 connection. This is because a

T3 connection is faster by about 43 Mbps (Baxter, 2017). This
can boost the speed of the connections better. Additionally,
surveillance cameras and backup servers have also been added
to the network system. The firewall has also been updated.
Changes to International Plastics Inc. – Pontiac MI Network
Diagram
The connection to corporate headquarters has been updated from
a T2 to a T3 connection to boost the connection speed.
Surveillance cameras and backup servers have also been added
to the local area network system. Firewall updates have also
been made.
Changes to International Plastics Inc. China Headquarters
The backbone connection has been updated from 100baseT to
100baseT to provide faster connections with more interlinking.
Surveillance cameras and backup servers have also been added
to the local area network system. A firewall has been added and
updated as well.
Risks to the Network
The following risks have been identified concerning the network
for International Plastics Inc.:
1. Susceptibility to unrecoverable data loss: This is because the
networking system did not incorporate backup servers at the
subsidiaries and the corporate headquarters.
2. Untraceable physical security breach: This is because there
were no surveillance cameras in the networking system. This
practically put the company into a blind spot.
3. Risk of slow connection speeds: This is because some of the
networking components were running on outdated technology,
such as a T2 connection, while currently, there are more
superior technologies like T3 connection.
4. Risk of cybercrime: This is a risk that any computer-based
institution remains susceptible to no matter the level of its
advancement. Incidences like DoS (Denial of Service) and

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, phishing, etc.,
can occur International Plastics Inc. too.
How the changes will mitigate the identified risks
The following are how the identified risks can be curbed:
1. Susceptibility to unrecoverable loss of data has been solved
by making provision for backup servers at the subsidiaries and
the corporate headquarters level.
2. Untraceable physical security breach – this has been solved
by the addition of surveillance cameras to the network system.
3. The risk of slow connection speeds has been solved by
updating the network components to more efficient ones, e.g.,
T2 and T3 connections.
4. The risk of cybercrime has been solved by making firewall
updates throughout the entire network system.

System Management Plan 7

System Management Plan

System Management Plan
Introduction
A network framework ought to have an appropriate practical
foundation to accomplish its motivation and guarantee ideal
execution. Therefore, it's appropriate that staffing be
satisfactory to deal with the necessary innovative moves. The
network framework should also be running on the most recent
innovation accessible, so it doesn't experience the ill effects of
old innovation's negative marks. This is because the universe of
innovation continues to advance, particularly in this period
where quantum processing, human-made consciousness, the web
of things, AI, and computer-generated reality are the subjects of
contemplating.
Changes to the International Plastics Inc. – Network Overview
The original diagram shows how conceivably the base camp is
understaffed in contrast with the mind-boggling number of
workers who are the auxiliaries. Since there is a higher number
of representatives at the auxiliaries, adding up to 425, the
central command, which at present has only 125 workers, ought
to have in any event have half of the all-out staffing at the
auxiliaries. This should make the staff at the central command
around 212, an addition of 87 (69.5%). This is with a general

presumption that the auxiliaries are performing at the ideal with
their current staffing.
Changes to the International Plastics Inc. Corporate
Headquarters
The root connection has been changed from 100baseT to
1000baseT to make more connections interlinked while making
the communication interaction quicker (Margaret, 2020).
Furthermore, camcorders have been added to the network
framework, so natural observation and checking. Reinforcement
serves have been increased to help with information security. A
firewall has been added and refreshed.
Changes to International Plastics Inc. – Albany, GA Network
Diagram
The connection to the external network connections has been
modernized to be a T3 connection rather than a T2 connection.
The reason is that a T3 connection is quicker by around 43
Mbps (Baxter, 2017). Which means it can support the speed of
the connections better. Moreover, reconnaissance cameras and
reinforcement workers have likewise been added to the network
framework. The firewall has additionally been updated.
Changes to International Plastics Inc. – Pontiac MI Network
Diagram
The connection to corporate headquarters has been updated from
a T2 to a T3 connection to support the connection speed.
Reconnaissance cameras and reinforcement workers have
additionally been added to the neighborhood framework.
Firewall updates have likewise been made.
Changes to International Plastics Inc. China Headquarters
The backbone connection has been updated from 100baseT to
100baseT to give quicker connections seriously interlinking.
Observation cameras and reinforcement workers have likewise
been added to the neighborhood framework. A firewall has been
added and updated too.
Ethical and Regulatory Concerns associated with the Plan
The new applications will work with the enhanced IT
foundation by having all the equipment moved up to new PCs,

PCs, and printers to guarantee that the web association is the
quickest fit strength-wise. This can likewise be helped by the
new switches and remote association hardware that will be
introduced. The security will be more secure because there will
be another firewall arrangement in every office. The addi tional
firewall will guarantee that every office doesn't interface with
different workplaces firewalls if there is a hacking of the
firewall, which is profoundly impossible. There will be secure
areas for each piece of gear that should be designed, and the
link associations will be refreshed to CAT-6 links to give the
ideal sign. These frameworks will also be integrated with a safe
worker that each representative should sign into to get to the
organization's applications.
There are a couple of worries with this arrangement as ordinary
organizations would. There is a constant danger of getting
hacked. To prevent being hacked, regular updates should be
scheduled so the PCs continually keep them on the most recent
software to the extent that infection insurance, windows
software, firewall, and Citrix collector will be utilized as a
protected VPN.
Risks to the Network
The following risks have been identified concerning the network
for International Plastics Inc.:
1. Susceptibility to unrecoverable data loss – This is because
the networking system did not incorporate backup servers at the
subsidiaries and the corporate headquarters level.
2. Untraceable physical security breach – this is because there
were no surveillance cameras in the networking system. This
practically put the company into a blind spot.
3. The risk of slow connection speeds is because some
networking components were running on outdated technology,
such as a T2 connection. At the same time, currently, there are
more superior technologies like T3 connection.
4. Risk of cybercrime - this is a risk that any computer-based
institution remains susceptible to no matter the level of its
advancement. Incidences like DoS (Denial of Service) and

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, phishing, etc.,
can occur in International Plastics Inc. too.
How the changes will mitigate the identified risks
The following are how the identified risks can be curbed:
· Susceptibility to unrecoverable data loss has been solved by
making provision for backup servers at the subsidiaries and the
corporate headquarters level.
· Untraceable physical security breach – this has been solved by
the addition of surveillance cameras to the network system.
· The risk of slow connection speeds has been solved by
updating the network components to more efficient ones, e.g.,
T2 and T3 connections.
· Risk of cybercrime – this has been solved by making firewall
updates throughout the entire network system.
Justification of the Plan
This arrangement's systems administration segment will
consider the ideal web association all through the organization's
organization and operations, which will accommodate the best
help regarding the staffing of the organizations. Inside the
systems administration, new firewalls will be introduced in each
working just as the remote switches offer the best support and
forestall executing of the frameworks. Updating the PCs,
workstations, and printers to the furthest down the line models
can help them get the best and most recent software projects to
use on the PCs and give the best security. Adding a refreshed
ERP plan to this organization will consider the most effective
staffing management plan for ideal business and better
communication within the organization.
Security Concerns
In the present status of the world, hacking organizations are at
an unsurpassed high. ERP's are being assaulted because they are
the essential base for organizations' data. There will be a ton of
preparation required before delivering to the organization to
guarantee this doesn't occur. There should be a ton of
preparation among the representatives to ensure everybody
understands these issues. We will additionally need to prepare

for administrators to ensure there isn't any inward
misrepresentation inside the organization. Another approach to
assuring hacking stays low is consistently having the
frameworks refreshed and didn't skip critical system updates.
When they spring up on the PC, they should be introduced. This
will be essential for the preparation of the representatives and
should be an authorized guideline. The IT group will be formed
to screen the frameworks and ensure these hacks don't occur,
and to watch out for whatever representatives may discover
dubious on their equipment.
