Group project Group project Timeline: Introduction: “There 4 Travel” is a new travel agency to be based at Christchurch airport with a branch in Nelson, and potentially other sites. Its core business would comprise of 40% domestic travel bookings and 60% of the business would comprise of international travel bookings and travel packages. The main functions including the IT services for the company would be functioned at the head office located at Christchurch, where operations would be performed in a server-based, and centrally managed solution from Head Office to the Nelson branch. The head office at Christchurch would comprise of staff members. · CEO/Manager Christchurch · Assistant Manager Christchurch · 5 x Travel Agents Christchurch The Nelson branch would consist of the following staff members. · Manager Nelson (would be reporting to the Manager at Christchurch) · Assistant Manager Nelson · 2 x Travel Agents
Day 2: [16th March 2020] Design Components to be considered in our Solution Design Objective --------------------- The biggest determination for moving ahead on a project or not approving it is based on cost. The business wants to know how much it will cost them. Therefore, understanding the budget requirements for consideration becomes very valuable during the design process. There are many ways of doing a network design and going in blind without knowing the budget could prevent possible challenges. Technical Objective ------------------------ The following objectives are considered within our design as technical requirements: 1. PERFORMANCE: Performance deals with the rate and quality of traffic delivery across a network. Bandwidth and throughput are one of the components that can describe the performance. QoS is another component that assigns priority to specific traffic on the network. Port buffers and queues also fall into quality of traffic delivery wh
Day 1: [25th February 2020] 1. We were able to understand what the course about, the Course Introduction is. 2. Purpose of course design. 3. about the student blog. 4. Assessments. 5. OSI model. 6. Subnetting. Started with the OSI (Open System Interconnection) model: This model is most commonly used in networking. It’s a theoretical construction and visual description to understand as to what is going on with a particular networking system. This assists network managers to simplify and narrow down problems (assists in identifying whether it is a physical issue or something wrong with the application),This also assists computer programmers (when developing an application, OSI helps in identifying as to which other layers it needs to work with). Rather than memorizing all layers if we understand and know the fundamentals, it’s easier to figure out how it works. OSI model goes from top to bottom, with the numbers going from
