Networking Project Plan
Billing System Network Design
Architecture Rationale
It is imperative to understand the surroundings in which end-users will be using a product to carry out their tasks, because this situation will place constraints on how they work, and how well they work.
Presume a screwdriver is being considered and all that is known is the size of the screw head. So, an appliance like a traditional screwdriver is designed, with the right sized blade. But presume it then turns out that the user wants to apply the screw from the inside of a narrow pipe to assemble some piece of equipment. Obviously, a traditional screwdriver will be useless in this work context.
Likewise, suppose a software application is being premeditated for a set of users, but the designers have never gone to the users' real work environment. They presume a conventional office like environment and design software that will employment on a traditional workstation (Juan & Yang, 2003). But, suppose it then turns out that in the actual work environment, end-users are continually in motion, moving all around the environment to get various parts of an overall job done. If software for a traditional workstation is intended, this will simply not work in this environment. Software that will work on a smaller and handier device that can be carried around with the end-user (Luntovskyy, et. al. 2005). kind of like the units carried by UPS delivery staff, would be required instead.
The billing system that will be designed needs the following
1. 2 workstations
2. 1 printer
3. Internet access
4. Multiple mailing addresses
5. Low securty Environment
The proposed network architecture design will be as shown below:
RJ45 cable
Hardware and Software Requirements
Hardware
1. Processor: Dual Core
3. Disks: 120GB
Software
One workstation will be designated as a Server. The server machine should have the following software
1. Operating System: Windows 2003 Server (32 bit)
2. Database: MySQL for Windows (32 bit)
3. Application Server: Billing system based application
The other workstation will function as a client. The hardware requirement will be same as above. Software requirement will be
1. Operating System: Windows XP or higher
2. Browser: Internet Explorer
Network Requirement
1. Bandwidth required: 10 GB per month
2. Firewall: Default
3. Antivirus: Quick heal
Network Requirements and Analysis
In a different example, suppose designers have never physically visited the user's workplace, and they presume end-users all work in closed offices. A system with voice input and output is planned (Juan & Yang, 2003). However it then turns out that end-users work in one big open area with desks located adjacent to one another. The racket from all those talking people and workstations will make an impossible work environment, and most voice recognition systems just do not work with suitable accuracy in a noisy environment. The point is, there are numerous aspects of the actual work environment that will decide how well a tool will work in that environment, and so the surroundings itself must be studied, and the tool tailored to it.
While initial analysis of the work environment of this small billing business revealed several important key points. Requirements analysis activities revealed that, the noise level can be high, the work areas are overcrowded and cluttered, and the overall ambiance is tense and high pressured at best, disordered and sometimes disorderly at worst (Luntovskyy, et. al. 2005). These circumstances most likely have a…
Practicum Project Plan: New Information System Based On the Need to Enhance the Speed of Documentation and Patient Charting At the Health Facility Introduction The relevance of informatics in seeking to address provider and patient needs while at the same time further enhancing not only the quality, but also the safety of the clinical environment, cannot be overstated in the contemporary information-sensitive healthcare industry. This paper seeks to present a Practicum Project
Project Scope There is a lot of thought and planning that goes into any apartment building complex or building. The depth and breadth of the project will obviously depend on the facets and traits of the desired finished project. This would include the planned amenities, constraints, resources, budget, and plans for the complex. The goal of this project is to have a complex that meets the needs of the tenants and
Project Management Scope Management Small LAN's Inc. installed a Local Area Network at the new Spring Academy Childcare Center. The project came in a few weeks late becaue of a failure in the planning procees and the overall partner's communications. "In directing the intent of the project, the plan must clearly identify the project objectives, goals, and any special influences or constraints on the project scope." (Stuckenbruck, 100) In order to compete
PRINCE2 is used in both the public and the private sector. It is mainly used in the UK by the government, but the method is successfully applied internationally also. PRINCE2 is useful because it focuses on business justification, it supports a well established organization structure for the project management team, it provides a product-based planning approach. The method also focuses on segmenting the project into several stages that can be easier
Therefore, the suggestions forwarded would most definitely be different if the discussion had been about another country or another industry. But even so, there are some rules compulsory to be implemented, without which the organization will not retrieve the desired beneficial results. These general recommendations include: Clearly analyzing the features of the new market in order to get an idea of the product demand and the needs of the customers,
This process will make it seem as though every PC workstation has its own internet connection similar to a house with a single internet connection and through an antenna provides connections for any PC within range of the signal. Internal communications hardware will consist of CISCO routers in addition to the DELL server technology. Routing to and from these classrooms will require two hubs per class. The reason each class
