You have been hired by Fixing Windows LLC as an Information Technology consultant to develop a technology proposal. Fixing Windows LLC manufactures and distributes solar panel for the consumer market. Your job is to submit a proposal that meets their criteria.

Current Implementation/Concerns:

  • The company will have 4 locations (Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, and New York) but are planning to grow rapidly due to high demand in solar panels. Main staff will be at Dallas and New York offices.
  • Data security is priority since patent and trademarks are at stake.
  • Los Angeles sales personnel will need secure remote access to Houston and New York offices.
  • Feel free to make other assumptions but they need to be noted in the paper.

Topics to Cover:

Your document should cover the content presented in the course. The outline below contains recommended points to cover. You are free to add other related information.

Describe the technical and business reasons for each choice, citing other resources as appropriate. The Windows Server 2016 operating system should be used for all aspects of the solution.

The topics include:

DNS and DHCP

  • How had DHCP installation and authorization been implemented?
  • DHCP scope design (e.g., lease times, number of scopes, address range)
  • Will a form of DHCP fault tolerance be implemented?
  • Will DHCP reservations be used for servers?
  • How can IPAM be utilized?
  • How will IPv6 be utilized?
  • How will DNS be implemented?
  • DNS Security
  • How will DNS be handled for the second and third site?
  • What namespace should Fixing Windows LLC implement?
  • What types of zones needed?

File Services, DISTRIBUTED FILE SYSTEM (DFS) AND BRANCHCACHE:

  • How will the shares be secured?
  • Will quotas be used? FSRM be configured?
  • Will DFS be implemented?

Remote Services and NETWORK POLICY SERVER (NPS):

  • What technology will be implemented to provide secure remote access for users?
  • Who should have remote access?

Discuss these other server 2016 Networking concepts:

  • HIGH PERFORMANCE NETWORK SOLUTIONS
  • SOFTWARE-DEFINED NETWORKING (SDN)

Submission Requirements:

There are specific requirements for the assignment: The final submission should contain at least 6 pages’ worth of text written by the student (not counting title page,1 images, 1 diagrams, tables, or quotations), but may be longer, not to exceed approximately 10 – 15 pages’ worth of student-supplied text. (With the required diagram, and other images, title page, etc., the final submission may end up being more than 10 pages in length.) It must be double-spaced, have 1-inch margins, and use 12-point Times New Roman font. A title page is required; APA or IEEE format for the title page is optional.

  • At least one diagram must be included (not counted towards the minimum length described above). You can have more.
  • The structure of the final submission is flexible. There is no specific format required, although it should be organized logically and represent a single, unified solution. It is likely that the format will include separate sections for each of the 6 topics required, as well as a summary.
  • At least one non-textbook, non-Wikipedia reference for each topic is required; preferably, this would be a “best practice” guide or similar content from Microsoft or an experienced provider of Microsoft solutions.
  • Be sure to properly quote or cite any sources used. APA or IEEE format is required for in-text citations and the list of works cited at the end. there are also links in the Webliography. In its simplest form, if you are using text from a source, you must cite and/or quote it. If plagiarism is found to be 15% or more, then there will be a penalty to the grade.

The submission must cover all the 6 major topics (Dns, Dhcp, File Services, Remote Services, High Performance Network Solution and Software Defined Networking (SDN)) outlined above. Each choice should be explained with technical and business reasoning. The solution should be reasonably detailed.
