2DATA COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKING
1.0 Business Case Analysis and Proposal:
Data Communication Challenges: First challenge is implementing the huge network that
can sync all the data simultaneously. From the cameras to the online broadcast everything will be
shared with the Head office. Another challenge is implementing security measures in the center
so that data communication between center and head office can be done safely.
Communication Technologies: The first need is a LAN infrastructure within the center.
The LAN will have a router connected to the ISP. WAN will be implemented for connecting the
head office with the center. In order to implement LAN efficiently, the network designers will
use the idea of VLAN and subnet. Another technical requirement is a CDN which will host the
entire Website of Lean Into It.
Opportunity from New Services: The web services proposed for the new center of Lean
Into It will allow the organization to provide better quality service to the customers. The
customer satisfaction level will enhance rapidly because of the 24*7 service. Human intervention
in business operations and use of spreadsheet for maintaining data are very error prone. The
organization has experienced very bad service records due to inaccurate data storage and
decisions made on wring data. Management of data in spreadsheet is also a big issue for big
organizations. The spreadsheet data cannot hold large data files and proper connection between
data cannot be established.
The web service will include a database management system. This DBMS will record all
the data collected by the website. The website will have details of the customer, payment and
invoice. The website will be implemented on-premises of Lean Into It so that proper security can
be implemented for the website. A secure website will make the customers more confident about
