Homework

Within an organization, the dependability of network infrastructures has become top priority. The fundamentals of how this infrastructure works within the organization requires a systems thinking mindset and the ability to properly develop an analysis plan. You have been tasked with analyzing the current network architecture of the organization and determining any key changes that should occur as the organization prepares for future growth. You will evaluate traffic patterns to determine critical aspects of your business and provide basic insight into what should be done to the network from a capability aspect and from a security viewpoint as the organization prepares for future growth. Ultimately, you will recommend a design for the future network architecture of the organization.

Prompt
