Needs:

It is critical to differentiate between needs and wants. With any technology project, it is critical to focus the resources on what is needed (thus keeping the costs down and the focus on the key needs).

A need is a must have.

A want is something that would be nice but is not required.

For this week’s assignment you’ll want to include 5 needs for your project. Please note that these requirements are the bare minimum. In order to effectively implement your project you’ll need a lot more, and the more thought you put into your planning up front, the easier it will be once you start to do the work:

What does your network NEED to do? What are you expecting your network to do? This could include any or all of the following areas: security, accessibility, reporting, speed, redundancy, tracking, documentation, etc. Be as specific as possible (i.e. instead of “the network should be secure” explain who should be able to access the network and where they should be able to access the network from.

Note: This section is NOT for you to list specific operating systems, applications or policies that you’ll be using. This is for the general needs. You’ll be applying your solutions in a separate section.

Research: ALL needs must be backed up with external documentation. Your documentation should prove why the item listed is a NEED for a well-implemented network. Use APA formatting for the source so you have it available when you compile your research paper.

PROJECT NEEDS – 25 points

Technical Requirements:

Consider the project needs that you listed above. Be sure to include all required hardware, software, and other specific resources that would you need to be able to meet these needs? You should have at least FIVE requirements, but most projects will include several more than five. This section should be specific (server and client operating systems, hardware specs, Internet speeds, etc.) If you’re running your network in a virtual environment, be sure to list your virtualization software as well as the machine that you will be running your network on.
