Network and Server Upgrades
Scenario: The organization has a basic IPv4-based infrastructure using a Windows 2008 server-based structure. There is a generic shared drive that has turned into a “virtual dumping ground” for files used across departments. Accounting department users do not have the same access to sales department folders, so this shared folder is the solution used for cross-department collaboration. There are many important files that cannot be deleted, but this shared drive is causing a problem.
For this assignment, use the scenario above to do the following:
- Develop a plan to upgrade the existing network to IPv6 and upgrade the existing server structure.
- Outline the reasons for upgrading both the server and infrastructure, and include the potential risks for doing so.
- Find a sustainable and collaborative solution to eliminate the dependency on the shared drive.
Your well-written submission should meet the following requirements:
- Be no less than three full pages in length.
- Be formatted according to the APA Guideliness
- Simple essay format, Introduction, Body and Conclusion.
Include at least three outside credible resources.
