This Essay is for my Network Enterprise Solutions class
For
this assignment, assume you have been hired by Kris Corporation as an
Information Technology consultant. Kris Corporation manufacturers parts
for the automotive industry. Your job is to submit a proposal that meets
their criteria (listed below) based on information provided. You may
fill in any gaps in the specifications provided by making assumptions.
All assumptions should be clearly identified.
Current Implementation and Concerns:
- Parent
domain (kris.local) and child domain (corp.kris.local) for the
organization’s AD infrastructure are running on Server 2008. The
following are concerns related to AD: (1) Kris Corporation is concerned
about running multiple domain, and (2) automobile manufacturers are
asking Kris Corporation to use single identity to procure orders in real
time. - The company has five locations in Atlanta (GA), Baltimore
(MD), Chicago (IL), Seattle (WA) and San Diego (CA). The manufacturing
plants are in Atlanta and Seattle. - Disaster recovery is a big concern.
- Physical space for servers is an issue at the Atlanta location.
- Most
of the IT staff is in Atlanta, which is the company’s headquarters, but
other locations have significant IT personnel as well. Business
personnel are similarly distributed across the company’s locations. - Since all locations are independently connected to the Internet, file sharing is difficult among sites.
Your
document should integrate the content presented in the course. The
outline below provides required points to cover. You are free to add
other related information.
Describe the technical and business
reasons for each choice, citing other resources as appropriate. The
