Assessment Description
Choose any organization (e.g., bank, hospital, university, retail etc.) that wants to migrate their Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure to the cloud. You need to
1. Explain and draw the local ICT infrastructure of the organization
2. Justify the move to cloud with logical reasons
3. Explain and draw the ICT infrastructure in the cloud
4. Critically analyse the ICT infrastructure in the cloud and explain possible issues
2. Learning Outcomes
This assessment covers the following learning outcomes:
LO1. Demonstrate understanding of the main concepts, key technologies, strengths, and limitations of cloud computing.
LO2. Discuss the key security, privacy and other challenges of cloud computing.
LO3. Demonstrate understanding of the cloud solutions provided by Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.
LO4. Analyse the requirements for a cloud infrastructure for a particular ICT environment.
LO5. Recommend a cloud solution for a particular ICT environment, including security countermeasures.
Assessment Details
The details of the assessment are as follows:
• Each group will select an organisation of their choice. The organisation should be
• A medium to large enterprise with branches in multiple locations
• Able to provide each group with access to information about the various aspects of the ICT Infrastructure including various servers, user communities, network operations and other devices (e.g. firewalls, load balancers etc.).
• The ICT infrastructure in the local data centre of the organisation should be clearly explained.
• Reasons to migrate to cloud need to be properly explained.
• The ICT infrastructure in the cloud should be clearly explained.
• Critical analysis of ICT infrastructure in the cloud is to be carried out to find potential issues.
5. Structure of Report
5.1. Title page
This must contain the title of the report (make title as informative as possible), Names and IDs of all group members, unit code and name.
5.2. Abstract

5.5 Main Body
5.5.1 ICT Infrastructure in local data center
• Explain ICT infrastructure in detail
• Educational, medical, enterprise, government etc.
• What infrastructure is used in local data center?
• Explain in detail. Make a figure
• Justify the use of Cloud. Logical Reasons for this migration. No marks if proper justification is not given
• Base your infrastructure on other similar environments. Search on the internet.
• Give citations of academic articles
? 5.5.2 ICT Infrastructure in the Cloud
• Infrastructure needed in cloud
• Explain all the components of the infrastructure
• Use Amazon Web Services (AWS) or any other similar cloud provider.
• Logical Reasons for all infrastructure. No marks if proper justification is not given for infrastructure.
• Make a figure of your infrastructure. Properly label the figure
• Explain figure in the text
• Infrastructure means both hardware and software e.g. part of software is located in the in-house data center and part in cloud. It includes Virtualized machines (servers), Storage, networking, Protocols, Applications, security etc.
• Citations of infrastructure used.
? 5.5.3 Critically evaluate each component of infrastructure in Cloud and identify the issues
• Mention issues in infrastructure components with logical reasons
• Need to critically evaluate/analyse the issues
• At least five issues
• Map issues to your own environment

• No solutions needed only highlight the issues
• Citations for issues are needed
5.6 Conclusions
• Summarize your work
• Short paragraph
• No citations or figures
