IT NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE
1. Project Preliminaries Description
This particular project report is mainly depending on AusEd, it allows of online education
facilities in Information Technology as well as Business to numbers of students in the whole
world. However, AusEd is also very much committed to the learning system. This particular
organisation decides to make more improvements in their network infrastructure which helps to
allow educations in more efficient manner. The implemented strategic plan of this organisation is
to raise the income with the help of diversification of all funding sources. Apart from that, the
second plan is to decrease the costs of various non-core activities, which supports in doing both
technological and operational development of AusEd. The AusEd management decided to
review the already implemented information technology infrastructure that assists to increase the
better services demands for both the students and staffs. Apart from that, the AusEd study centre
offered numbers of workstations and student’s computers supporting all crews to enquiries all
academic opportunities, different multimedia meetings based on the video conferencing art,
separate tutorial meetings in all available rooms available for all study groups. With the help of
available online education, all students get engaged with all other fellow students and also
different staffs, professors for doing better interaction with all available people.
2. Purpose and scope of the problem space as well as business context
The already available system of AusEd mainly consists of the accounting system using
proprietary MYOB software as well as customer relationship management system that mainly
used as open source SugarCRM software and also a proper Email service depending on
Microsoft Exchange server 2007. However, the organization mainly decides to do the

technological development of organization to achieve all the strategic objectives like the
development of different ad-ons to Moodle which helps the students to maintain their personal
computers, local databases used in Moddle discussion forums. Hence, the first possibility is to do
the better development of off-line Moodle. In second scope, it discussed about the development
of add-on to Moodle site which helps the student to complete all exams on their own computers.
Both these two business contexts are taken in consideration because people are accustomed to
use the mobile devices for accessing better internet facility like all educational purposes.
However, the offline moodle is mainly used to enhance as well as development of the mobile
application that helps to increase the better classroom’s facilities and learner’s experiences for
accessing the mobile devices. The AudEd mainly decided to develop Moodle offline for the
better commutation from home to university, work from different locations from where they get
the facility to access better available internet connection. Apart from that, Moodle offline allows
all students to co-ordinate the Moodle servers and different works with available offline clients
to allow access of different course materials and different learning activities. It also discussed
about the photo exam that is taken at various regular interval by using computer’s on-board
camera. The photographs taken includes reliable timestamp and also kept in secure manner
transferred to various central locations where it can be established a proper internet connection.
3. Scope of the system descriptions and assumptions
The AIS helps to track both the income as well as expenses done in AusEd. In this
organization, they used a proper system to track all available company requirements along with
detailed reports of accounts which are receivable and work-in-progress. Hence, the accounting
system helps to generate different financial statements, managerial reports and various other
