Company Profile

The Education Community Services Group (ECSG) has been leading the market in educational services enrollments the past five years. After reviewing proper data and statistics, the company needs to address issues in its response for better future requirements of the business. When the chief executive officer (CEO) noticed that something had to be done to respond to the competition from online and traditional campus-based education, he and the rest of the management team decided to instill confidence by transforming the current network administration architecture and information technology (IT) infrastructure to create a better network infrastructure and educational offerings. Revamping the IT network administration architecture is an important infrastructure improvement, and it will help transition an adequate network administration capability to the very latest-state-of-the-art technology standard.

Architecture Evaluation (Week 1)

Evaluate the current network administration architecture (NAA) for Education Community Services Group (ECSG). Develop a course of action based on the resources that NAA supports and are used at ECSG. As a consulting company, you need to discuss how you will automate the company as well as revamp its enterprise network administration architecture. Identify positive and negative aspects of the selected model in relation to the operational health of an organization. Further interviews, observation, visiting sites, questionnaires, or surveys may be needed as fact- finding analysis that will help in the NAA evaluation stage. After fact-finding is complete, the course of action is designed. Once the design is reported to ECSG, then other things such as price and charge or quotations should be set.

The network administration architecture has to be evaluated and then demonstrate the availability of a suitable network administration architecture. The company can outsource, design from scratch, buy already existing network hardware and software and configure it, or buy hardware and software off the shelf. The network administration architecture will run on the listed and needed hardware and software discussed the in the next section.
