Assignment

Overview

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

For this milestone, you will create a project analysis plan. Your plan will identify the network applications of the current network including a description of how the current network is designed by explaining how the different layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model relate to each other within the network.

Refer to the following files when completing this milestone:

1. Organizational Network Diagram - Current
2. Dallas Office Network Diagram - Current
3. Memphis Office Network Design - Current

To complete this assignment, address the following critical elements:
