CMIT 350 Network Design Proposal
Use this document as a guide for formatting and organizing your CMIT 350 final Network
Design Proposal submission.
Title Page
Professionalism will be key to your success and advancement in your academic and
professional career. Use the title page to identify relevant information such as your name, the
course, professor, and submission/completion date.
Document Index/Contents
Organization will allow your document to be divided into key areas of consideration and allows
an overall structure to be placed over the submission.
Sample text:
I. Site “XXXXXXXX” Challenges and Implementation
II. Site “XXXXXXXX” Challenges and Implementation
III. Site “XXXXXXXX” Challenges and Implementation
IV. Bibliography
I. Site “XXXXXXXXXX” Challenge and Implementation
(Provide a section for each site, as suggested in your table of contents.)
Site Details and Challenges (Summary)
Here, you will simply summarize the site requirements and/or challenges you are attempting to
overcome. You will not need to implement solutions or discuss your approach at this point. This
information is provided to you and can simply be organized and restated as you understand it.
Think of this area as what needs to be corrected. Suggested length would be one or two
paragraphs.
Sample text:
As described in the scenario, the Dallas site was developed without any VLAN structure, and
administrators have found the need to isolate broadcast traffic from a layer-2 perspective.

Site Solution(s) and Technologies
With the challenges stated, you will be able to clearly define your approach to solving those
challenges and can state the technologies you will be implementing. Use this area to justify your
approach and selection of technologies. The specific length and details of this area will vary
based on the specifics and depth of the challenge you are facing. Your justification would be
your selection of a specific technology or approach over another and why you chose the
approach you are taking. Show off your knowledge in the foundational skills here.
Sample text:
In order to relieve the administrative tasks surrounding the implementation of manual IP
addressing per device, we will configure and implement a DHCP (dynamic host configuration
protocol) server, per site requirements. The DHCP allows for devices to identify, request and
implement IP configurations as well as other settings….
Since this area may call for facts and details around technologies and approaches, you will most
likely find yourself using in-text citations, which would appear as follows:
Open Shortest Path First is an open standard routing protocol that’s been implemented by a
wide variety of network vendors, including Cisco (Jones, 20xx).
Sample Configuration
Understanding the technologies will satisfy a portion of the documents' requirements. You will
also need to display how the solutions you are suggesting would be implemented.
Embed a copy of the PTK file for the Packet Tracer File you created.
Supporting Tables/Diagrams
When structuring solutions per certain sites, you may find it helpful or even necessary to
structure information with tables and/or diagrams. These items can be used to support and
display your understood solutions located in the “Site Solution(s) and Technologies” area.
Display your organizational and logical skills in this area.
Provide an updated and polished network design diagram (Assignment 1 updated).
Repeat the format to include document components for each site. In this sample,
sections numbered II and III in your table of contents would be provided next, followed
by the bibliography.

IV. Bibliography
Be responsible with your research and included works. Provide proper credit in the APA format
to original authors and their works that you leverage in your submission.

High Availability
Basically, we should select the network technology based on the below criteria to get
high availability of the designed network. Furthermore, we discussed how we are going to select
the database system vendor and clarified the criteria. Also, we can host important applications
and set up the other applications on the cloud, so, it provides security with fair cost “Distributed
Cloud is the Future of Cloud” (Panetta. K, October 19, 2020, para. 17).

Database System Deployment Challenges
Deployment Challenge Description
Define user access, limit the read/ write report access, and provide simple
security instructions so all employees become aware of it.
Database must perform with a high speed regardless the hardware.
DBAs should perform backups periodically and automatically.

Oracle is now more recommended than other vendors as we will gain more options with a
fair cost when we compare the cost of integrating systems with other vendors like Microsoft
(MS) and Salesforce (SF) (Pang, A. 2016, April 5, para. 13). In addition, the internet-enabled
services provided by oracle are always secured with a better cost of the small and medium
companies, furthermore, it offers its database tools, application products, along with consulting
and documentation support services (UKEssays, November 2018, para. 4,5,6).
