Assignment Description
Assignment Details
There are two parts to this assignment: a network architecture and design solution and the details explaining the network infrastructure needed to support the Social Media
platform implementation.
Designing a network involves data, voice, and power considerations. Creating a wellintegrated social relationship platform involves interoperability with other technologies, such
as customer relationship management (CRM). Assume you are designing a network infrastructure for Verbania. The company requires an efficient network that carries data, Voice
over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and Power over Ethernet (PoE). It also requires the effective use of a CRM system to pull customers’ social media data for review and analysis to
improve the user experience and generate profits. The networking solution and illustration must support these new requirements. You will execute the Unit 2 discussion, and the
two parts of the Individual assignment below in pursuit of this effort. This free edraw application can be used to prepare the network illustration.
Part 1 Capstone Project
This part of the assignment is to contribute to the Capstone project and also to show the instructor that progress is being made on the Capstone project with regard to the
intended network architecture and design needed to support the new requirements for the Social Media solution. Part 1 will illustrate the network architecture design and Part 2
will explain the details of the network infrastructure, cabling, and social media/CRM integration solution supporting the Part 1 illustration.
Each member must provide 1 of the following components, and submit this for grading to the Individual area, and the group area for inclusion into the overall group project.
If there are 3 or 4 members in the group, then only 34 bullets need to be implemented. The “Virtual Private Network (VPN) devices needed for remote access” must be
completed and is not optional regardless of the number of members on the team. Provide a detailed network diagram depicting the intended network architecture or
deployment diagram with the following required components:
2 Firewall DMZ
Switch devices
Router devices
Load balancing devices
Firewall devices
Virtual Private Network (VPN) devices needed for remote access
Ensure the diagram showing the intended network architecture additionally identifies the network segments (physical or logical), the intended LAN/WAN solution, and the
associated backbone all needed to support the system implementation and remote access solution.
As part of the Unit 2 discussion requirements you will meet in the group area to collaborate and brainstorm ideas for all the individual deliverables, as they are also included as
part of the overall group project, No group project is submitted this week, as each individual member will provide their solutions for Individual Project grading to their individual
upload area.
Continue using the template that was modified in Unit 1. Submit your Capstone project work to the Group submission area. Include the word “DRAFT” in the document title. Your
second draft will then be available to share with your team. The second draft will also be available for your instructor to review the team’s progress.
Use this company profile and scenario as the subject of your Systems Implementation Plan.
Part 2: Capstone Project Activity Unit 2
The project team must analyze the New Requirements. This section will specify what the company will need in the area of solution elements, such as networking, Voice Over
Internet Protocol (VoIP), and Power over Ethernet (PoE). Specifically, this section will answer the following questions (at a minimum):
Which type of cabling would you recommend? Why do you think this would be the best choice?
How will the network infrastructure accommodate remote access?
What solution would you propose to integrate the social media site with a CRM solution?
What security considerations are involved?
Collaborate and work together to integrate all individual network architecture and design products. Ensure the Unit 2 Part 2 content is also included in the overall group project in
Section 2.
Overall the content from Unit 2 Part 1 and 2 should be inserted into the template document under Section Two.
Please submit your assignment.
For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.

There are two parts to this assignment: a network architecture and design solution and the details explaining the network infrastructure needed to support the Social Media
platform implementation.
Designing a network involves data, voice, and power considerations. Creating a wellintegrated social relationship platform involves interoperability with other technologies, such
as customer relationship management (CRM). Assume you are designing a network infrastructure for Verbania. The company requires an efficient network that carries data, Voice
over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and Power over Ethernet (PoE). It also requires the effective use of a CRM system to pull customers’ social media data for review and analysis to
improve the user experience and generate profits. The networking solution and illustration must support these new requirements. You will execute the Unit 2 discussion, and the
two parts of the Individual assignment below in pursuit of this effort. This free edraw application can be used to prepare the network illustration.
Part 1 Capstone Project
This part of the assignment is to contribute to the Capstone project and also to show the instructor that progress is being made on the Capstone project with regard to the
intended network architecture and design needed to support the new requirements for the Social Media solution. Part 1 will illustrate the network architecture design and Part 2
will explain the details of the network infrastructure, cabling, and social media/CRM integration solution supporting the Part 1 illustration.
Each member must provide 1 of the following components, and submit this for grading to the Individual area, and the group area for inclusion into the overall group project.
If there are 3 or 4 members in the group, then only 34 bullets need to be implemented. The “Virtual Private Network (VPN) devices needed for remote access” must be
completed and is not optional regardless of the number of members on the team. Provide a detailed network diagram depicting the intended network architecture or
deployment diagram with the following required components:
2 Firewall DMZ
Switch devices
Router devices
Load balancing devices
Firewall devices
Virtual Private Network (VPN) devices needed for remote access
Ensure the diagram showing the intended network architecture additionally identifies the network segments (physical or logical), the intended LAN/WAN solution, and the
associated backbone all needed to support the system implementation and remote access solution.
As part of the Unit 2 discussion requirements you will meet in the group area to collaborate and brainstorm ideas for all the individual deliverables, as they are also included as
part of the overall group project, No group project is submitted this week, as each individual member will provide their solutions for Individual Project grading to their individual
upload area.
Continue using the template that was modified in Unit 1. Submit your Capstone project work to the Group submission area. Include the word “DRAFT” in the document title. Your
second draft will then be available to share with your team. The second draft will also be available for your instructor to review the team’s progress.
Use this company profile and scenario as the subject of your Systems Implementation Plan.
Part 2: Capstone Project Activity Unit 2
The project team must analyze the New Requirements. This section will specify what the company will need in the area of solution elements, such as networking, Voice Over
Internet Protocol (VoIP), and Power over Ethernet (PoE). Specifically, this section will answer the following questions (at a minimum):
Which type of cabling would you recommend? Why do you think this would be the best choice?
How will the network infrastructure accommodate remote access?
What solution would you propose to integrate the social media site with a CRM solution?
What security considerations are involved?
Collaborate and work together to integrate all individual network architecture and design products. Ensure the Unit 2 Part 2 content is also included in the overall group project in
Section 2.
Overall the content from Unit 2 Part 1 and 2 should be inserted into the template document under Section Two.
Please submit your assignment.

2. You must meet with your team to identify the IT disciplines (specializations) that they represent and begin to form your team and plan your project. Note that each member
may be viewed as the expert for his or her discipline.
3. You will need to research and analyze (on an individual basis) the requirements specified in the section “New Content for Week 1: Planning and System Requirements.”
Develop your own individual paper defining the necessary requirements from your perspective. Submit your individual paper to the Unit 1 IP area. Further details can be
found in Part 3 below.
4. Collaborate with your multidisciplinary team to reach a consensus on the requirements for the Capstone project. Capture the agreedupon set of requirements in the
Capstone project template. The first draft must include “DRAFT” as part of the file name. Submit the first draft to the Group area so that all team members have access
and the instructor may view the team’s progress. Refer to Part 2 below for further details. Note, the Capstone project will build and evolve over the upcoming weeks. The
final Capstone project will be submitted as a Group Project in Unit 4.
Capstone Project – Informational
This part of the assignment is NOT FOR GRADING THIS WEEK. This part of the assignment is to contribute to the Capstone project and also to show the instructor that
progress is being made on the Capstone project.
