PART 1

Instructions

Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief proposal presentation for migrating its systems from Windows to Linux. The company is specifically interested in seeing the following information:

(10.1.1: Identify the problem to be solved.)

Based on your current understanding of Faster Computing’s business, what are some potential benefits of Linux?
The company is aware that many different Linux derivatives exist. Be very specific and choose only one version (e.g., Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, Redhat, CentOS, Kali). Which would Go2Linux recommend, and why? Give specific reasons for your choice (e.g., security features, support, updates, user interface).

(10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.)

What steps will be required to migrate the systems from Windows to Linux?
Are there graphical interfaces available for the Linux workstations that would provide similar functionality to Windows? Some users are concerned about working with a command-line interface.

(10.1.3: Define the specifications of required technologies.)

What tools are available on Linux for the servers to provide file sharing, Linux services, and printing? (e.g., Apache/Nginx, Samba, CUPS, SSH/SCP). Ensure you identify what the functions/services are used for (e.g., Samba is used for file sharing).

(1.1.3: Present ideas in a clear, logical order appropriate to the task.)

The deliverable for this phase of the project is a three- to five-slide PowerPoint narrated presentation.

An introductory slide
A summary slides
Voice narration on every slide

For each slide, you will embed your own audio recording as if you were presenting the content to the Faster Computing team. Faster Computing has not yet committed to the project, so this should be presented as a proposal. The presentation should be visually appealing; the inclusion of at least one image that supports the content and adds value to the proposal is required.

(1.3.3: Integrate appropriate credible sources to illustrate and validate ideas.)

You must cite at least two quality sources.

You used at least 2 references and your references were cited properly following an accepted style. Ask your instructor for clarification.

Use the Migration Proposal Presentation template to get started.

(2.3.1: State conclusions or solutions clearly and precisely.)

You should present your proposal as if you are selling to the company. Revisit all of these important reasons in the summary slide.

How Will My Work Be Evaluated?

As you progress in your IT career, you may find yourself making presentations to customers, client audiences, and professional peers. By creating an effective presentation, you are showing how you use your technical knowledge and convey your ideas to others in a professional setting, an important workplace skill.

The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:

· 1.1.3: Present ideas in a clear, logical order appropriate to the task.

· 1.3.3: Integrate appropriate credible sources to illustrate and validate ideas.

· 2.3.1: State conclusions or solutions clearly and precisely.

· 10.1.1: Identify the problem to be solved.

· 10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.

· 10.1.3: Define the specifications of required technologies.

PART 2

Instructions

Faster Computing was impressed with your presentation. The company is interested in moving forward with the project, but the senior management team has responded to the presentation with the following questions and concerns:

(12.3.2: Describe the implementation of controls.)

How will security be implemented in the Linux systems—both workstations and servers?

(10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.)

End users have expressed some concern about completing their day-to-day tasks on Linux. How would activities such as web browsing work? How would they work with their previous Microsoft Office files?

(12.4.1: Document how IT controls are monitored.)

The current Windows administrators are unsure about administering Linux systems. How are common tasks, such as process monitoring and management, handled in Linux? How does logging work? Do we have event logs like we do in Windows?

(2.3.2: Incorporate relevant evidence to support the position.)

Some folks in IT raised questions about the Linux flavor that was recommended. They would like to see comparisons between your recommendation and a couple of other popular options. What makes your recommendation the best option?

(10.1.3: Define the specifications of the required technologies.)

How does software installation work on Linux? Can we use existing Windows software?
How can Linux work together with the systems that will continue to run Windows? How will we share files between the different system types?

The deliverable for this phase of the project is a memo. There is no minimum or maximum page requirement, but all of the questions must be fully answered with sufficient detail. The recommended format is to respond to the questions in a bulleted format. Provide sufficient detail to fully address the questions. You must cite at least two quality sources.

(1.2.3: Explain specialized terms or concepts to facilitate audience comprehension.)

Create a memorandum template with a header of your own design or choosing, brief introduction, addresses Faster Computing, Inc’s questions, and summarizes your position on adopting the specific version of Linux.

(1.4.3: Write concise and logical sentences in standard academic English that clarify relationships among concepts and ideas.)

Your memorandum should not include spelling or grammatical errors. Any Linux commands must be displayed in lower case. Information technology acronyms (e.g., SSH or FTP) should be explained for the reader.

How Will My Work Be Evaluated?

In writing a clear and concise memo in response to senior management queries, you are demonstrating your communication skills, technical expertise, and responsiveness to customer/client needs and concerns.

The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:

· 1.2.3: Explain specialized terms or concepts to facilitate audience comprehension.

· 1.4.3: Write concise and logical sentences in standard academic English that clarify relationships among concepts and ideas.

· 2.3.2: Incorporate relevant evidence to support the position.

· 10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.

· 10.1.3: Define the specifications of required technologies.

· 12.3.2: Describe the implementation of controls.

· 12.4.1: Document how IT controls are monitored.

DISCUSION 1

A minimum of 200 words is required for each discussion question, and they must be your own words. Including figures and quotes is value-added, but they will not count toward your 200-word requirement. Be sure to examine the discussion grading rubric.

Discussion Question 1:

Describe Group Policy object and why an organization would choose to deploy Group Policy. Explain some of the settings within Group Policy that organizations might choose to keep their desktops and servers secure.

Discussion Question 2:

You are an administrator for a large organization with a group of web developers that works on UNIX machines. You need to come with a solution that enables the web developers to save their files on the Windows system so that those files can be backed up with all of your other data. Because the web servers are critical to the company, you must ensure that the data is available and backed up regularly. Describe your proposed solution.

DISCUSSION 2

Discussion Question 1:

Describe a role that WSUS and Windows Defender play in securing a Windows Network Infrastructure. What should the policy be to keep the nodes on your network updated with the latest security updates?

Discussion Question 2:

Describe in detail some of the aspects of DHCP related to Windows Server 2016 including leases, scopes, and commands, etc. Explain how DHCP is installed and configured on Windows Server 2016.

DISCUSSION 3

Discussion Question 1:

Describe how to deploy a website and make it as secure as possible while reducing its resources used.

Discussion Question 2:

You are the administrator for the contoso.com site. Recently, the server hosting the corporate websites had a failure that caused the server to go down for a short period of time while the server was being fixed. In the future, you need to take steps to avoid any hardware failure that would cause the websites to go down. Describe your recommended course of action. Would clustering be an option here? Why or why not?
