Part 1
Case Study: Problem 1
The Education Community Services Group (ECSG) has several problems in network availability that cause outages and poor system performance. These issues have made it difficult to provide reliable educational services during peak periods, causing it to lose students to its competitors. An information technology (IT) network administration evaluation has to be conducted and analyzed to evaluate the nature of business and the need for a reliable network administration architecture, specifically for ECSG. Without fact-finding and statistics, simply purchasing a commercially available network administration architecture will not help.
Organization and Project Selection
The first step will be to select an organization as the target for your Network Administration Processes and Procedure Guide. This organization can be real or hypothetical, and it will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course. It should conform to the following guidelines:
•    Nontrivial: The selected organization should be large and should contain a network infrastructure that requires the implementation of network administration processes and procedures.
•    Domain knowledge: You should be familiar enough with the organization and typical network administration needs without significant time required for network administration research and education.
•    Accessibility: You should have good access to network administration officers and management in the organization.
Assignment Details:
    Project Outline
    Provide a brief description of the organization (real or hypothetical) that will be used as the basis for the projects in the course.
    Include the company’s size, location(s), and other pertinent information.
    Architecture Evaluation
    Appraise the current major systems and architecture of the chosen organization.
    Provide an overview of the network administration architecture that is suitable for a nontechnical audience. The overview must identify the key areas of the organization that can benefit from the application of a network administration analysis.
    Compare and contrast at least 2 architectural models that might be suitable for your selected organization.
    Select 1 of the architectural models reviewed in the previous step as the preferred model, and justify your selection.
Part 2
Case Study: Problem 2
Senior leadership at the Education Community Services Group (ECSG) has questioned the effectiveness of the current network administration processes and procedures to manage the network administration architecture, given the recent updates in hardware and software. Processes and procedures need to be improved. The current model will need to be evaluated; it will be assessed regarding whether it meets the new requirements of the enterprise; and a network administration management approach that matches the current and incoming network infrastructure for ECSG will be recommended.
Assignment Details
One of the first tasks in the development of a network administration architecture processes and procedures document is to evaluate the network administration infrastructure and the current processes and procedures. These processes and procedures consist of systems being monitored, managed, and updated throughout their life cycle.
Part 2: Network Administration Processes Evaluation
Your focus in this project assignment will be to review the current network administration processes for your target organization and determine the process gaps that may exist between the current network architecture and the incoming architecture. You will document the processes that your target organization plans to implement to ensure it can effectively manage the network infrastructure going forward.
The project deliverables are as follows:
•    Provide a categorized list of the network processes used to support major organizational processes.
•    Provide documentation of the network administration tools that are used to support the capture, management, storage, preservation, and delivery of information technology.
•    Provide documentation of the flow technology of the processes through the infrastructure.
Part 3
Case Study: Problem 3
Education Community Services Group (ECSG) has invested a tremendous amount of time in improving its network administration architecture. It has carefully compared the ECSG network administration architecture to organizations implementing successful procedures for network administration. Evaluating and implementing a core set of network administration procedures is what ECSG is seeking.
Assignment Details
The next step in the creation of a network administration architecture document is to examine the current network administration architecture, determine the strengths and weaknesses, and define improvements.
Part 3
Network Administration Procedures Evaluation
For this assignment, you will examine the existing network administration architecture that is documented in the previous project, and you will document the improvements that will result in a better system.
The project deliverables are as follows:
•    Network Administration Infrastructure Improvements
o    Network Administration Architecture Process Improvement
    List the strengths and weaknesses for each process documented in the Network Administration Processes Evaluation section of the manual.
    Document improvements for each process. The result of this step will be documentation of the new systems architecture processes.
o    Network Administration Architecture Procedures Improvement
    Document the improvements to the procedures used to support the new network administration processes.
Part 4
Case Study: Problem 4
After a process review, Education Community Services Group (ECSG) has determined the processes and procedures in the network administration model need updating to match the new incoming technologies for enrollment management. The chief executive officer (CEO) would like to implement a more robust enrollment management model and has reached out to you to plan the migration. What advantages and disadvantages do you see in implementing this model, and how can you minimize the risk to this implementation?
Assignment
In the initial stages of developing the Network Administration Processes and Procedures guide, you have focused on the processes and procedures in use in the enterprise and considered whether updates are necessary based on incoming technology. The next development stage for this guide is to develop the implementation plan to update the network administration processes and procedures so the methods to manage the network administration architecture are consistent with the new technology in place.
Best Practices Evaluation
The goal of the best practices evaluation is to help the organization incorporate industry-accepted processes and procedures to manage network administration within the organization. The range of network administration categories can span from operational to service-oriented and may be informal or very formal depending on management priorities. In this project assignment, you will identify and discuss the best practices, processes, and procedures that are currently in use for your target organization, and you will evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of this network administration model.
The project deliverables are as follows:
Best Practices Evaluation
•    Current environment
o    Which network administration practices are currently in place?
o    What are the advantages and disadvantages to these practices?
•    Business process management
o    What are the network administration processes that are currently in place?
o    What are the advantages and disadvantages to these processes?
•    Business procedures management
o    What are the network administration processes that are currently in place?
o    What are the advantages and disadvantages to these procedures?
Part 5
Case Study: Problem 5
Education Community Services Group (ECSG) has gone through a thorough process to evaluate its network administration architecture and compare its existing processes and procedures to best practices. As a result of this evaluation, ECSG has integrated this review with the information technology (IT) infrastructure deployment of an upgraded network architecture to help identify gaps in processes and procedures and to implement a Network Administration Processes and Procedures Guide to manage the infrastructure. It is time to finalize the implementation plan and communicate it to the senior leaders and IT management staff at ECSG.
Part 5: Implementation of the Network Administration Processes and Procedures Document
Throughout this period, you have consulted with ECSG stakeholders from senior management and IT management. You have documented their requirements for a Network Administration Processes and Procedures Guide and helped the team coordinate the new processes and procedures through the ECSG change review process and gain the approvals necessary to implement the content of the guide. The process that ECSG senior management and IT management has asked you to follow is to provide an implementation document for the Network Administration Processes and Procedures Guide and to create a PowerPoint presentation to present to the key stakeholders who will manage the daily operations of the network going forward.
The final deliverables for the Network Administration Processes and Procedures Guide are as follows:
•    Network Administration Processes Update
o    Describe the network administration processes that are necessary to manage the IT infrastructure.
•    Network Administration Procedures Update
o    Describe the network administration procedures that are necessary to manage the IT infrastructure.
•    Network Administration Best Practices Evaluation
