Introduction
A network system should have a properly functional infrastructure to achieve its purpose and ensure optimal performance. For this reason, it is proper that staffing be adequate to handle the required technical maneuvers. Besides, the network system should be running on the latest technology available to not suffer from the demerits of obsolete technology. This is because the world of technology keeps evolving, especially in this era where quantum computing, artificial intelligence, the internet of things, machine learning, and virtual reality are pondering topics.
Changes to the International Plastics Inc. – Network Overview
The original diagram shows how possibly the headquarters is understaffed compared to the overwhelming number of employees are the subsidiaries. Since there are many employees at the subsidiaries, totaling 425, the headquarters, which currently has just 125 employees, should have at least have 50% of the total staffing at the subsidiaries. This should make the staffing at the headquarter about 212, an increment of 87 (69.5%). This is with a general assumption that the subsidiaries are performing at the optimum with their current staffing.
Changes to the International Plastics Inc. Corporate Headquarters
The backbone connection has been changed from 100baseT to 1000baseT so that more connections can be interlinked simultaneously and making the communication process essentially faster (Margaret, 2020). Also, video cameras have been added to the network system so easy surveillance and monitoring. Backup serves have also been added to aid with data security. A firewall has been added and updated.
Changes to International Plastics Inc. – Albany, GA Network Diagram
The link to the outside network connections has been updated to be a T3 connection instead of a T2 connection. This is because a T3 connection is faster by about 43 Mbps (Baxter, 2017). This can boost the speed of the connections better. Additionally, surveillance cameras and backup servers have also been added to the network system. The firewall has also been updated.
Changes to International Plastics Inc. – Pontiac MI Network Diagram
The connection to corporate headquarters has been updated from a T2 to a T3 connection to boost the connection speed. Surveillance cameras and backup servers have also been added to the local area network system. Firewall updates have also been made.
Changes to International Plastics Inc. China Headquarters
The backbone connection has been updated from 100baseT to 100baseT to provide faster connections with more interlinking. Surveillance cameras and backup servers have also been added to the local area network system. A firewall has been added and updated as well.
Risks to the Network
The following risks have been identified concerning the network for International Plastics Inc.:
1. Susceptibility to unrecoverable data loss: This is because the networking system did not incorporate backup servers at the subsidiaries and the corporate headquarters.
2. Untraceable physical security breach: This is because there were no surveillance cameras in the networking system. This practically put the company into a blind spot.
3. Risk of slow connection speeds: This is because some of the networking components were running on outdated technology, such as a T2 connection, while currently, there are more superior technologies like T3 connection.
4. Risk of cybercrime: This is a risk that any computer-based institution remains susceptible to no matter the level of its advancement. Incidences like DoS (Denial of Service) and DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, phishing, etc., can occur International Plastics Inc. too.
How the changes will mitigate the identified risks
The following are how the identified risks can be curbed:
1. Susceptibility to unrecoverable loss of data has been solved by making provision for backup servers at the subsidiaries and the corporate headquarters level.
2. Untraceable physical security breach – this has been solved by the addition of surveillance cameras to the network system.
3. The risk of slow connection speeds has been solved by updating the network components to more efficient ones, e.g., T2 and T3 connections.
4. The risk of cybercrime has been solved by making firewall updates throughout the entire network system.

System Management Plan
Introduction
A network framework ought to have an appropriate practical foundation to accomplish its motivation and guarantee ideal execution. Therefore, it’s appropriate that staffing be satisfactory to deal with the necessary innovative moves. The network framework should also be running on the most recent innovation accessible, so it doesn’t experience the ill effects of old innovation’s negative marks. This is because the universe of innovation continues to advance, particularly in this period where quantum processing, human-made consciousness, the web of things, AI, and computer-generated reality are the subjects of contemplating.
Changes to the International Plastics Inc. – Network Overview
The original diagram shows how conceivably the base camp is understaffed in contrast with the mind-boggling number of workers who are the auxiliaries. Since there is a higher number of representatives at the auxiliaries, adding up to 425, the central command, which at present has only 125 workers, ought to have in any event have half of the all-out staffing at the auxiliaries. This should make the staff at the central command around 212, an addition of 87 (69.5%). This is with a general presumption that the auxiliaries are performing at the ideal with their current staffing.
Changes to the International Plastics Inc. Corporate Headquarters
The root connection has been changed from 100baseT to 1000baseT to make more connections interlinked while making the communication interaction quicker (Margaret, 2020). Furthermore, camcorders have been added to the network framework, so natural observation and checking. Reinforcement serves have been increased to help with information security. A firewall has been added and refreshed.
Changes to International Plastics Inc. – Albany, GA Network Diagram
The connection to the external network connections has been modernized to be a T3 connection rather than a T2 connection. The reason is that a T3 connection is quicker by around 43 Mbps (Baxter, 2017). Which means it can support the speed of the connections better. Moreover, reconnaissance cameras and reinforcement workers have likewise been added to the network framework. The firewall has additionally been updated.
Changes to International Plastics Inc. – Pontiac MI Network Diagram
The connection to corporate headquarters has been updated from a T2 to a T3 connection to support the connection speed. Reconnaissance cameras and reinforcement workers have additionally been added to the neighborhood framework. Firewall updates have likewise been made.
Changes to International Plastics Inc. China Headquarters
The backbone connection has been updated from 100baseT to 100baseT to give quicker connections seriously interlinking. Observation cameras and reinforcement workers have likewise been added to the neighborhood framework. A firewall has been added and updated too.
Ethical and Regulatory Concerns associated with the Plan
The new applications will work with the enhanced IT foundation by having all the equipment moved up to new PCs, PCs, and printers to guarantee that the web association is the quickest fit strength-wise. This can likewise be helped by the new switches and remote association hardware that will be introduced. The security will be more secure because there will be another firewall arrangement in every office. The additional firewall will guarantee that every office doesn’t interface with different workplaces firewalls if there is a hacking of the firewall, which is profoundly impossible. There will be secure areas for each piece of gear that should be designed, and the link associations will be refreshed to CAT-6 links to give the ideal sign. These frameworks will also be integrated with a safe worker that each representative should sign into to get to the organization’s applications.
There are a couple of worries with this arrangement as ordinary organizations would. There is a constant danger of getting hacked. To prevent being hacked, regular updates should be scheduled so the PCs continually keep them on the most recent software to the extent that infection insurance, windows software, firewall, and Citrix collector will be utilized as a protected VPN.
Risks to the Network
The following risks have been identified concerning the network for International Plastics Inc.:
1. Susceptibility to unrecoverable data loss – This is because the networking system did not incorporate backup servers at the subsidiaries and the corporate headquarters level.
2. Untraceable physical security breach – this is because there were no surveillance cameras in the networking system. This practically put the company into a blind spot.
3. The risk of slow connection speeds is because some networking components were running on outdated technology, such as a T2 connection. At the same time, currently, there are more superior technologies like T3 connection.
4. Risk of cybercrime – this is a risk that any computer-based institution remains susceptible to no matter the level of its advancement. Incidences like DoS (Denial of Service) and DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, phishing, etc., can occur in International Plastics Inc. too.
How the changes will mitigate the identified risks
The following are how the identified risks can be curbed:
· Susceptibility to unrecoverable data loss has been solved by making provision for backup servers at the subsidiaries and the corporate headquarters level.
· Untraceable physical security breach – this has been solved by the addition of surveillance cameras to the network system.
· The risk of slow connection speeds has been solved by updating the network components to more efficient ones, e.g., T2 and T3 connections.
· Risk of cybercrime – this has been solved by making firewall updates throughout the entire network system.
Justification of the Plan
This arrangement’s systems administration segment will consider the ideal web association all through the organization’s organization and operations, which will accommodate the best help regarding the staffing of the organizations. Inside the systems administration, new firewalls will be introduced in each working just as the remote switches offer the best support and forestall executing of the frameworks. Updating the PCs, workstations, and printers to the furthest down the line models can help them get the best and most recent software projects to use on the PCs and give the best security. Adding a refreshed ERP plan to this organization will consider the most effective staffing management plan for ideal business and better communication within the organization.
Security Concerns
In the present status of the world, hacking organizations are at an unsurpassed high. ERP’s are being assaulted because they are the essential base for organizations’ data. There will be a ton of preparation required before delivering to the organization to guarantee this doesn’t occur. There should be a ton of preparation among the representatives to ensure everybody understands these issues. We will additionally need to prepare for administrators to ensure there isn’t any inward misrepresentation inside the organization. Another approach to assuring hacking stays low is consistently having the frameworks refreshed and didn’t skip critical system updates. When they spring up on the PC, they should be introduced. This will be essential for the preparation of the representatives and should be an authorized guideline. The IT group will be formed to screen the frameworks and ensure these hacks don’t occur, and to watch out for whatever representatives may discover dubious on their equipment.

E-Commerce proposal 2
E-Commerce Proposal
Kevin Moore
Jonathan Olson
IT INFRASTRUCTURE CMGT/554
02/15/2021
E-Commerce Proposal
E-commerce is defined as the buying, marketing, selling of services and products, or transmitting data and funds over the internet or a dedicated network. The transactions can be either consumer to consumer, business to consumer, business to business, and consumer to business. The transactional process that involves retailers is known as e-tail. It is necessary to come up with an e-commerce department that will be responsible for the implementation of this technology into the organization. This department will also develop a timeline for integrating this technology, an online presence map, and a strategy to utilize search engine optimization techniques and services. It will also be necessary for the company to develop a business model that involves deploying a range of network functions, software, and security standards for e-commerce.
International plastics e-commerce integration
For this integration to work, the e-commerce department will be responsible for the security and the proper implementation of the system. The system can be carried out through social media, websites, offline media, and e-mail. Through social media, international plastics can attract followers to build its brand awareness and generate online sales. Social media platforms can also ensure that their products, brand, and profile get shared over the internet and various social media platforms. Using their existing website, the company can integrate e-commerce into the website using plugins to sell their products using their site, requiring an e-commerce extension. This will boost their sales as users already have trust in the company and lead them to think they are within the same platform even though the e-commerce is running on a different platform.
The devices on which the company can deploy their e-commerce may include computers, tablets, smartphones, televisions, Twitter, Facebook radio, internal lists, and purchased lists. Some of the company’s activities will be able to conduct on the platform, including marketing display, search options, company exposure, newsletters, education, and information sharing.
A timeline will be necessary to measure the milestones and the goals of the e-commerce system. It should consist of six phases: planning for the system and the business, website analysis and audit, customer engagement and acquisition, customer retention, essential metrics optimization, customer insights, and analysis of the business. During these phases, the department must also come up with a mission statement, a website layout, and design to be implemented as the functional website for the e-commerce, come up with a computing plan for mobile devices and platforms and lastly identify the most appropriate and suitable social media platforms for different contents and their social media presence.
The company should also embrace and utilize search engine optimization services to integrate e-commerce into its website. This process involves taking on and off improvements to their website to increase their visibility in relevant searches. The visibility of international plastics website has in search results will affect the customers the company will retain and attract. It is most applicable in the marketing sector, website development, and internet and social media strategy. Search engine optimization may be done in two methods: a white hat, which involves creating content that follows a webmaster’s guidelines, and a black hat, which tends to ignore all the rules set for better exposure.
Functional requirements
International plastics must develop web server software that can support the business to the business model of e-commerce. The software must be able to support and manage website development, transaction processing, and website success. The server side will also require additional software and hardware to support the enterprise software, e-commerce software, and electronic payment systems. They also need to implement network strategies and techniques such as extranets, intranets, and firewalls to facilitate and support business transactions without unnecessary glitches.
It is also necessary to implement security protocols both at the network level and at the hardware level. This is needed to protect their customers’ information. Among the protocols, they can use hypertext transfer protocol secure, which has been designed for secure communication between computers over a network. The other protocol suggested is the secure sockets layer (SSL) protocol, a standard encryption method for e-commerce websites. This is, however, paid for, and a certificate is issued.
Why International plastics should integrate e-commerce
The benefits of e-commerce to an organization are endless. With search engine optimization capabilities, international plastics can reach vast markets through the online platform. Employing the business-to-business model of operation will boost their market and enable them to form more electronic relationships between their vendors, customers, and suppliers. With successful e-commerce integration, the company can redesign its ERP to accommodate e-commerce.
An e-commerce department responsible for implementing this technology into the organization comes up with a timeline for integrating this technology, an online presence map, and a strategy to utilize search engine optimization techniques and services. It will also be necessary for the company to develop a business model that involves deploying a range of network functions, software, and security standards for e-commerce.
With these thoughts in mind the best choice for would to be to implement the e-commerce through social media. The system can be implemented through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Since many people flock to electronics for daily usage multiple times a day, we need to consider what they are using and how they are using it. The devices on which the company can deploy their e-commerce may include computers, tablets, smartphones, televisions, Twitter, Facebook radio, internal lists, and purchased lists.

Recommend improvements based on your assessment.
Based on my assessment and after evaluation, all the recommendations for international plastics to be the essential and useful way a company should upgrade from using CAT5, and they start using CAT6a. However, the company must be willing to make changes after presenting all the benefits to its CEO, addressing all the advantages and disadvantages.
Explain how you arrived at this recommendation.
I saw this recommendation that I came along with as crucial because any telecommunication company requires a very high speed. Therefore, changing from CAT5a to CAT6 will serve the purpose.
Discuss options you weighed before arriving at this recommendation.
There are many options that I had to look at before arriving at that decision. For instance, infrastructure is not being stated clearly, and there may be changes that may happen. The issue of changing to Cat6a means there will be CCTV installation and cameras, which will help CAT6 run smoothly and improve the wiring system. In the long run, there will be benefits from the international wiring system, which will benefit the present and future generations (Popovic, 2018).
Outline the advantages and disadvantages of this recommendation.
When the company starts CAT6a, some advantages will come about as a result of this the transfer rate for the company will improve the transfer rate of up to 10Gbpsand this would mean that there will be a transfer of very high speed from one point and another which will be 100 times faster. CAT6ahas a more excellent performance in terms of price. Many international plastic corporations have opted for this high speed because of its high speed.
Please explain how your recommendation helps the company effectively blend their telecommunications and computer networks.
Recommendation of change from CAT5 to CAT6a since it has high speed of transferring data and this, in the long run, will help the company to increase its performance, sped and stability therefore with this the company will effectively blend with other telecommunications. When there are pieces of proper wireless equipment and protocol, therefore wireless transmission of data will increase (Popovic, 2018).

Plastic fans, plastic beverage containers and custom plastic parts are all key products of the International Plastics Inc. There are three locations for those products in Us and one in China. The four locations are found in a Wide Area Network, with San Jose, in California being the headquarters of the centralized network. The director or the Chief executive Officer of the corporation understands very well that there is an urgent need in reviewing and redesigning the IT infrastructure that is there currently. He has gone forward to give recommendations on the preparation of the IT infrastructure review report with upgrade recommendations. The major purpose of such a process is on cost savings and business performance improvement.
The environment in which the operations are taking place in the organization is that all the locations have a very committed infrastructural hardware. They all have a very advanced IT Infrastructure, albeit the fact that the initial infrastructure design cannot assist the business in achieving its targets in the current market. Immediately after the meeting, the Network administrators and IT managers, it was agreed that the main focus will be about gathering the requirements for the upgrade of the infrastructure that will among other things; It will make the enterprise network more efficient and improve it, Enhancing the Information systems that will align to the vision and growth of the organization, focusing on the improvement of applications of the enterprise, data management systems, the business intelligence applications, the overall security and the mobile computing environments.
In the initial analysis, there were important pain areas that had been noted; The IT infrastructure in place now need higher costs for network maintenance and higher costs; The system is also not meant to in serving the mobile devices that need to be improved because mobile computing is highly needed in sustaining the businesses; Also, the current network systems are not meant in accommodating any slight changes and should be enhanced so that in case of any changes, they can be readily applied. This simply means that the network has to be very strong. Together with the enterprise applications, the focus will be on coming up with the real time analytical applications that shall offer valuable insights to the trends and which will the organization in remaining competitive in the market.
The whole globe is experiencing evolution especially in Enterprise applications and Networking inside an organization has to be bright and play an important role to improve the business performance. To take advantage of the technology, the organization can offer enhancement to the systems in existence to improve on the productivity overall.
In conclusion, to facilitate the growth and make sure there is continuity of International Plastics business which should upgrade or improve some aspects of the IT infrastructure currently in place. The review of the systems in place now has given information that the corporation can work on in ensuring that its IT infrastructure is available, scalable and secure. The business processes need to offer for a holistic view of customer information and redundant or mitigate inaccurate data. Such tasks will be achieved through upgrade of migration of important applications to virtualized hosts, migration to the hosted SAP ERP solution with the add on of CRM and SCM from SAP, securing communications by VPN connections as well as cabling. Others include the reduction of costs and improved communications through implementation of VOIP while instituting a strong ecommerce plan in facilitating the presence and communications.
