Information Systems Capstone
Contents
1.0 Introduction
Singh, Shirah, and Barber Financial Holdings LLC. continues to grow its business, increasing their dependency on information technogy. The firm has reached a point where a more flexible, scalable, straightforward infrastructure, and easily managed applications are required for sucessful business practices. A solution like Amazon Web Services (AWS) can provide the computer power, storage, and other resources needed as the firm expands.
Solution
s of this magnitude do require a considerable amount of upfront investment, but will provide minimal cost for subsequential years reducing overall capital expenses. This solution will also enable minimal effort when moving applications to the cloud, minimizing support, to include administrative cost while retaining performance, security, reliability, and data integrity. 1.1 Company at a Glance
Singh, Shirah, and Barber Financial Holdings LLC., has drastically increased the number of clients and accounts over the past couple of years. This growth prompted the need for more qualified staff, additional offices and space, and newer communication technologies to facilitate services and improved management. The firm has acquired several buildings in various cities which are ready to be outfitted with network infrastructure, user workstations, peripherals and software applications. 1.2 Challenges
With just one present location in XYZ city growth in its industry is challenging, therefore the opening of several branch locations in various cities coupled with the data migration to a cloud service has become its number one project. The firm’s current infrastructure is limited, it does not currently have a full scale WAN and remote access (VPN), only a local LAN through the major local ISP is employed. All backups are stored onsite with tape copies sent to a cold off site location. Databases with all financial information are stored in the local server and there are no true access control restrictions. Additionally, there is only one system administrator performing all major database tasks and network functions.
Financial health is one of the most protected types of digital content. Finding ways to store, secure, and manage such data in this ever changing world of computing is a challenge. In order for the firm to grow and blossom, a large and fast LAN/WAN network is needed. Such network must provide access to internal resources via secure methods of authentication and also from the outside by a secure web interface client. VPN capabilities for traveling and visiting staff should provide a secure connection to internal resources. Access to the network and network shares must be tightly secured based on departmental roles. All databases will be kept in separate servers and backups will be conducted routinely (Weekly, Monthly; incremental/full). Access to database tables will be based on individual approval; single sign on authenti.
