Technology Needs Report3-5 pages, quality work Your technology needs report should be 3–5 pages in length. For each of the new employees, you must describe all hardware components needed to create the system, identify specific software programs that the employees would need, and describe security measures needed to support the systems. Along with each description, explain the purpose of each technology component in each system. In your explanation, include how your knowledge of human-computer interaction (HCI) impacted your choices for each component.Network DiagramYou have also been asked to include a visual representation of the topology you selected and the network equipment needed to support interactions between these employees. Create a 1-page (or 1-slide) diagram that identifies the networking equipment needed to enable the workflow between these employees.__________IntroIn this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:Describe the technologies, hardware, and software used within the information technology field__________ScenarioYou are working as a contracted information technology specialist. You have been contacted by James Otis Tax Associates, a small tax preparation company. The company is growing rapidly and is opening a new office. They are focused on hiring and retaining the best in the field, and they believe that one way to do this is to provide every employee with the appropriate tools and technology they need to effectively complete their work. Your company has been asked to provide its expertise in identifying the technology components needed for the computer systems and network for the three employees in the new office. They would also like you to address the security needs of the various employees.__________DirectionsThe manager at James Otis Tax Associates has asked you to submit a report describing the technology hardware and software needed to build a computer network for the new office. The manager has asked you to describe the computer system for each new employee, including an explanation of the purpose for each selected technology component, and to identify specific software programs that the employees would need. He has also asked you to describe the security measures needed to support the systems. In your explanation, include how your knowledge of human-computer interaction (HCI) impacted your choices for each component.The manager has provided the following employee descriptions:Certified Public Accountant (CPA): The CPA is a senior position at a tax preparation company. The CPA will be not only handling sensitive customer data from personal tax returns but also preparing tax returns for corporate clients. The CPA is also responsible for the personal tax returns filled out by the tax and data-entry specialist employees.Tax Specialist: The tax specialist has the dual role of entering data and verifying that tax returns are correct. This position involves customer interaction in gathering data for minimizing taxes owed or maximizing tax refunds.Data-Entry Specialist: This position requires data entry for personal tax returns for customers who walk in the door. Although the data-entry specialist works with sensitive customer data, they do not have access to the tax returns once the returns are submitted to the tax specialist for review.For each employee, you must:Describe all hardware components, including peripherals, needed to create the systemsIdentify specific software programs (more than one) that would be beneficial to each identified employee. Programs could include:Operating systemsApplications such as:Office automation productsSecurity productsDescribe security measures needed to support this system. Security measures could focus on:AccessAdministration and user passwordsFirewallsAlong with each description, explain the purpose of each technology component in each system. In your explanation, include how your knowledge of human-computer interaction (HCI) impacted your choices for components.Finally, choose a network topology that could be used to connect all of the new employees identified by the manager.__________RubricCriteriaExemplary (100%)Proficient (85%)Needs Improvement (55%)Not Evident (0%)ValueHardware ComponentsExceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative mannerDescribes all hardware components, including peripherals, needed to create each systemShows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include misestimating level of equipment needed to fit the needs of the system or missing key hardware componentsDoes not attempt criterion15SoftwareExceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative mannerIdentifies specific software programs that would be beneficial to each employeeShows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include recommending software with insufficient functionality or outside of the norms for budget and purposeDoes not attempt criterion15SecurityExceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative manneDescribes security measures needed to support each systemShows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include thoroughness in descriptions and security recommendationsDoes not attempt criterion15Component PurposeExceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative mannerExplains the purpose of each technology component in each systemShows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include thoroughness in explanations addressing each componentDoes not attempt criterion15Human-Computer InteractionExceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative mannerExplains how knowledge of human-computer interaction (HCI) impacted choices for componentsShows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include thoroughness in explanations addressing each component and correct use of human-computer interaction concepts throughout the explanationDoes not attempt criterion15Network ComponentsExceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative mannerIdentifies all equipment needed to create a functioning network for the employeesShows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include ensuring the size and scope of the equipment match the needs of the network and addressing all key hardware componentsDoes not attempt criterion15Articulation of ResponseExceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative mannerClearly conveys meaning with correct grammar, sentence structure, and spelling, demonstrating an understanding of audience and purposeShows progress toward proficiency, but with errors in grammar, sentence structure, and spelling, negatively impacting readabilitySubmission has critical errors in grammar, sentence structure, and spelling, preventing understanding of ideas5Citations and AttributionsAttributes sources where applicable using citation methods with very few minor errorsAttributes sources where applicable, but with consistent minor errorsAttributes sources where applicable, but with major errorsDoes not attribute sources where applicable5Total:100%** The following file attached to this question (Technology Needs Template.docx) is a template that can be used as a note-taking or organizational tool.

This lab will guide us how to set up firewall and then bypass it using VPN (as we use VPN server to forward packets through a different tunnel). Please see the attachments. The zip contains vpnserver.c and vpnclient.c code that will be compiled and run during the lab. These two .c files have been fully debugged. The help file is also attached.
