Q Write a 500 word report that briefly explains the benefits and issues related to moving to a virtual PC desktop, identify the characteristics of a suitable PC to use in such an environment and recommend a specific computer with supporting justification. Task A2 Use a software modelling tool such as Riverbed's Modeller Academic Edition to determine how well a 802.11n wireless router will cope with the proposed loading to be placed upon it. It will be used predominantly for accessing web sites, applications and the cloud based data. It is not intended for the laptops to be virtualised. Make clear the limitations the application you used for attempting to model this scenario. As only the wireless part of the topology is of interest just model the wireless access point and wireless devices along with a wired server. When selecting devices choose the fixed versions. The application should have a heavy email load with medium web traffic and lighter ftp traffic. Choose these values carefully so that there is at least 30 minutes simulated time when the model is run. Create scenarios with 12, 30, 80 and 120 devices in them to be able to evaluate the affects of the increase in traffic. Your report should outline the application set up used and an analysis of the delay and throughput to determine whether the router is likely to be able to cope with the peak traffic. Task A3 Provide a detailed analysis of the Subnetting policy highlighting all the errors and weaknesses and suggest possible fixes. Assignment 2 3500 words (70%) Task B1 Write a report that briefly indicates the weaknesses in the proposed logical topological design and propose a suitable alternative design. The report should not exceed 1000 words and should include a diagram of the proposed new design. This can be done using packet tracer or any other diagramming tool but standard Cisco symbols should be used. The design should be for the case where the company are hosting their own servers; not a cloud based solution. Task B2 The IT Manager is particularly interested in a recommendation for providing proper support for the wireless devices throughout the organisation (not just the demonstration area). Make use of Cisco material to identify the recommended way of supporting over 600 wireless devices in a single site. Specific recommendations for devices to support the wireless requirements are required. Write a report not exceeding 1000 words that explains how wireless networks in large organisations should be implemented, identify the type of devices available to implement such networks and recommend specific devices for use by the company Task B3 Write a report of no more than 1500 words discussing the pros and cons of a cloud-based approach for all the company's data storage requirements, virtual desktop and backup
