Technical support is visible(prenominal) to help troubleshoot with clients to attempt to r from for each one one a resolution as soon as possible. Sales T eam Infinets sales representatives work with our potential customers to bound the customers ask and forward the information they gather to Infinets design team.Design Team The design team at Infinet is primarily responsible for the culture of a shed envision, diagrams, and the implementation of the project plan. The design team is hence responsible for the presentation of their proposal to the client in a way that is flabby for the client to understand. communicateing Team once a deal has been made with a client the project is then handed to the networking team. The networking team at Infinet is responsible for the trigger of all hardware, software, cabling, and any other type of twirl to be installed.The networking module at Infinet is the most crucial part of Infinet. instruct for client employees is also provided by the networking team. TTIs Proposal The following is a list of TTIs major needs as stated in our documentation that Infinet received. Network Design TT I must(prenominal) stay within the regulations regarding network design to remain in compliance with various regulations. The network must be separated into two networks, Curriculum and Administrator, and not entrust access from the Curriculum Network to any figurers or legions on the Administrator network. A maximum of 200 workstations volition be deployed at each campus for the Curriculum network and a maximum of 50 computers for the disposal network. The network must facilitate 100x growth in LAN throughput, 2x growth in make it come out throughput, and a 10x growth in the main campus earnings connection. It must also remain functional for a minimum of 5 years. The four new civilizes must connect via the ISPs internal network into a central device at headquarters and forward any lucre requests through the headquarters internet connection. Each campus go away subscribe to a MDF room where selective information ordain be sent and forwarded as compulsory.The Houston West campus lead include an MDF as well up as an IDF on the second floor to forward entropy to the MDF. Each school has four labs that require 31 connections. There needs to be 3 runs of cabling to the 30 computers on the Curriculum network and 1 run of cable to terminate at the instructors computer on the Administrator network. all in all computers on the Administration network go away have their ip addresses set statically and all computers on the Curriculum network result obtain their ip addresses mechanically from a DHCP boniface. DHCP legion Each campus impart have a DHCP server to hand out ip addresses to nodes on the Curriculum network.DNS and E-Mail DNS and e-mail servers will be implemented in a hierarchical manner with all services located on the master server at the main campus. alone DNS and e-mail servers will be capable to communicate with each other in the event that the master server becomes un on tap(predicate). Administrative Server TTI will need to have an Administration server at each school site to interface with the DBMS at headquarters for student tracking, grades, attendance, and other functions The Administration server must not be accessible by any students or the Curriculum network. Web Server TTI will need a web server to host its virtual(prenominal) library which will reside an online library for curricular research and give students access to several online databases. Application Server on the whole computer applications will be housed on a server at each school location to provide the IT staff with an easy solution to upgrading applications. FTP Server An FTP server will be setup to provide TTI staff with a quick way to recover missing or corrupt files. executive director Summary Infinet has recently received a request from TTI to implement a network plan to meet the addition of four new campuses within the state of Texas.We believe that we have come up with the most reliable and secure plan to meet your needs at a r easonably low price. In our plan we have included many options to provide TTI with our personal recommendations as well as options lower in cost to suit TTIs monetary obligations. Infinet will take on all responsibility of hardware and software installations as well as an effective training plan to give the IT staff at TTI the tools they need to monitor and maintain their network. Assumptions and Constraints The following list is a few assumptions that Infinet has made based the information TTI has presented. TTI has already laid down the cabling or has done so with the construction of the building. TTI will remain responsible for any carnal security of network components and servers. Proper cooling will be available in the MDF and IDF rooms. TTI is needs new workstations to be purchased and installed. If we are wrong with any of our assumptions we have made a few possible solutions. Infinet has the staff and resources to lay down any cabling if need be. Infinet has included the o ption to omit any costs for new workstations if TTI has no desire to upgrade their current workstations.Deliverables Based upon the previous information, Infinet has come up with what we plan to bring to the table. Infinet will propose hardware and costs with several options for TTI to better suit their budget and needs. Infinet will provide a project schedule and implementation timeline to clarify each phase of the project. Infinet will identify the network topology and layout. Our main highlights will include the following. o4 T1 data lines for point-to-point connectivity and 1 T1-speed data frame relay to connect all sites to the Internet. Fiber optic-multi mode backbone. oSegment LAN at each site into two networks, administrator and curriculum. oSuccessful network connectivity with campuses to the main campus as well as Internet connectivity. oEstablishment of MDFs at each location as well as an IDF at the Houston location on the second floor. oImplementation of an IP subnet cap able to meet current needs and to facilitate growth. oDHCP configuration with student network and static IP addresses assigned to the administrator network. oInstallation of DHCP, DNS, and Application servers at each site.Each location will have a separate Administration server that will directly communicate with the DBMS at the main campus. oThe main campus will include the main DNS server, DNS, IIS, active agent Directory, Exchange, Web, Application, and FTP servers. Infinet will provide a comprehensive second-stringer solution for data and power. Infinet will ensure security to the Administration LAN as well as a firewall to deny access from any device outside the TTI network. Infinet will present a training plan for the IT support staff for TTI to give them the necessary knowledge and tools to monitor and maintain the network. Infinet will have a prototype for display to demonstrate our ability to effectively separate the Curriculum and Administration networks. Project Plan I mplementation and Timeline There are going to be 7 major steps to complete the project. 1. call locations Verify the current setup and identify the requirements that TTI needs to accomplish before installation takes place. Also to identify the location of the new hardware and verify what is needed. Jason Dallas, Scott Houston, troy San Antonio, Tyson Austin An estimated 4. 5 days will be needed to complete the inspection of all sites. 2. Purchasing and DeliveryAll hardware that has been deemed necessary will be order and delivered to each site. During this time, Technicians will be coordinated at each site to prepare for hardware installation. An estimated 18. 5 days will be needed to complete purchasing and delivery of all sites. 3. Hardware Installation All hardware will be installed and setup at each location. This includes all Workstations, Servers, Networking Equipment and Cabling. An estimated 11. 5 days will be needed to complete hardware installation of all sites. 4. Softw are Installation All software and server services will be setup and implemented at all locations.Routers, switches and firewalls will be configured and optimized for network communication between sites. Workstations will be setup with their sequester network configuration. An estimated 4. 5 days will be needed to complete software installation of all sites. 5. Finish Installation and Network Testing All hardware and software installation will be finished and network setup will be verified and tested for problems. Security policies and double firewall will be tested for weaknesses from outside Internet connectivity. Backup solution will be tested and verified with a complete disaster recovery plan.An estimated 11. 5 days will be needed to complete the finish Installation and network-testing phase of all sites. 6. Training Training for the TTI administration and IT staff, so that they will be fully capable of maintaining and monitoring the network using SNMP standards. An estimated 5 days training will be needed for training. 7. Support Period 10 day on call support. Any problems detected during this 10 day accomplishment will be corrected by Infinet. Project Details Network network topology TTI Network Overview All campuses will be connected through the ISPs internal network.Internet access from the campuses will be forwarded to the Houston Headquarters and then out to the internet through Houstons T3 or Frame Relay connection. Houston Headquarters Campus The Houston Main Campus will house the main DBMS server and the master complement server. The application, main DNS, DHCP, and Active Directory servers will also be located in the MDF. Each of the other four campuses internet connections will be forwarded to the Houston campus router, lake herring 7204 VXR, which will then forward internet connectivity through the Houston campus T3 or ISDN connection.The T3 or ISDN connection will be guarded by a PIX515e firewall that will block all ingress requests exce pt those for web and e-mail traffic. Houston West Campus The Houston West campus has the same setup as the other campuses, minus Houston Headquarters, except that cable runs will come from the MDF to a switch on the second floor that computers on that floor will connect to. It hosts local anaesthetic DNS, E-Mail, DHCP, and application servers as well. Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin Campuses These campuses will host local DNS, DHCP, application, E-Mail, and FTP servers and have T1 connections.Project Details IP Schema The IP addressing scheme we chose is designed to make administering the network easier. Each IP address will allow TTIs IT staff to identify if it belongs on the student or administrator network and what its physical campus location is. The chart below provides the details.

A nominal amount of training with the staff will have to be done with regards to physical and logical security. Logical security should be setup using the firewall for external use and ACLs, managed switches, and password security for inte rnal security. Using monitoring programs to the benefit of the school and to see where problems may rise. Monitoring tools for service availability and bandwidth management. oNagios oMRTG oEmail NotificationActive Directory Structure TTI. EDU Training and Maintenance Plan Once the project has been completed, Infinet will begin the training of Network and System Administrator personnel at each TTI location. The training will be for the length of 5 days from 8 A. M to 12 P. M. and 1 P. M. to 5 P. M. for a total of 40 hours. Each site will be trained simultaneously from Infinets design team. TTIs IT staff will be trained on the router and switch configurations, IP addressing schemes, all servers and their configurations, troubleshooting techniques, and client node configurations.TTI will also be provided with contact information regarding their sick(p) connections. Once training has been completed a support period will begin. This support period will last for 10 business days, Monday through Friday. During this period TTI will be responsible for digging into their network to find any bugs or potential problems. Upon the discovery of any problem TTI can contact Infinets customer support to work out a resolution. All warranty information on hardware will be held by Infinet until the expiration of the support period at which time TTI will be solely responsible.One item to keep in mind is that although we will discontinue responsibility after the support period, Infinet is perpetually willing to listen to clients problems and give suggestions to help the client reach a solution.

SQL connectivity problemsMLDiagnose the source and implement solution. Wrong equipment or damaged equipmentLMSend equipment back and obtain new equipment Backup Strategy Hardware The Houston campus will house the main backup server. The type of device will be either dell military forceVault 110T LTO-2-L, a tape d rive solution, or Iomega StorCenter Pro 200d, a device that uses random access rather than sequential. The choice of device will be up to TTI. Each campus except for headquarters will use Bytecc 40GB 3. 5 LANDisk NAS for data backups.This networked attached storage device utilizes a 100-BaseTX networking interface and a Western Digital 40GB hard drive. Each campus will have a UPS system. The device we have selected, APC Back-UPS RS 1500VA, has an internal alarm, hot swappable batteries, connects via USB or serial, a 110 minute blackout run time, and a $150,000 lifetime equipment protection plan. Strategy The main campus backup device will run a routine scheduled backup nightly that will pull the data from each individual NAS drive. Along with this data, it will backup Active Directory and the Microsoft Exchange email databases.These are items that we have deemed required for backup and any remaining items are to be discussed and implemented into the daily backup schedule. The latest copy of the data will be taken home by the administrator each day so that there is always an off-site duplicate of the backup. price Analysis Infinet has worked hard to make an effective solution for TTI. One difference that you will find with our company is that we prefer to provide our clients with options. In our costs proposal we have given TTI options such as the client workstations, backup solutions, and wan connections.Each option has been analyzed and determined to fit TTIs needs within the RFP we received. Infinet bids a range of $1,769,487. 96 to $2,425,751. 26 to give TTI the option to weigh their cost versus their needs. Infinet cannot determine what will be the best solution for TTI as it is TTI itself that knows what is best. If TTI has any suggestions regarding hardware, software, or disgusted connections Infinet will be readily available to share ideas and work firmly to meet TTIs demands as a customer.
