Think of an imaginary company and let's call it XYZ This company has:

  1. 500 Employees, 300 headquartered in US, 150 manufacturing people in Asia, (you decide which country) and 50 in EU for sales/marketing and support This company does not have a working IT and they have hired you to build their IT infrastructure from scratch. You will need to research and see what it take to build an IT department for a company that is located in 3 continents.Here are some example of what you will need to look at, but don’t’ limit yourself to only these items:
  • What kind of connectivity would you use between the sites
  • Will you deploy laptops, desktops, workstation, or tablets to employees and why?
  • Assuming the company has, HR, Finance, Engineering, Manufacturing, Sales, Marketing, Support, and other departments, what kind of Database would you set up for them so that they can store and collect data in a timely manner and with high accuracy? Please take a look at Oracle, Microsoft, or SAP web sites and see what is available within a reasonable budget.
  • What kind of automated tools will you develop for your internal customers? As an example, HR may need a tool that employees can automatically ask for days off, or finance may need a tool that can automatically deploy pay stubs online, or Sales may need a tool to automatically register customer orders, or other examples that you can think of.

    Since its inception, XYZ Company has been operating without IT system. The
    headquarters of this company is located in the United States of America, but it has additional
    branches in China and Spain. Since these businesses are located on three different
    continents(America, Asia, and Europe), it has been very hard for businesses activities of this
    company to coordinate effectively. XYZ Company has experienced difficult time to make
    communication between the three continents. Furthermore, there has been a problem of
    managing a large number of employees especially in the United States and manufacturing
    companies in Asia.
    The Company relies most on the old system of storing data using manual files. This poor
    method of information storage has made the company to lose important information and data
    leading it to perform poorly in the global market. Data retrieval and update in the company is
    very tedious since the employee has to go through manual files without any help of the
    computer. The management of finance in the company is a big problem since there is no any
    system that is used to track and monitor the way finances in the company are spent. This has
    made the company to experience a lot of losses due to mismanagement of funds.
    Additionally, XYZ Company has no system that can be used to inform their customers
    about their products or any changes that occur in the company. The company has lost many
    customers to other upcoming companies. The company still uses the traditional way of
    advertising its products using local radio stations and television. Due to these problems, the
    company has decided to create a sophisticated IT system and database to help the employees in
    the three continents to communicate effectively and efficiently. The system intents to automate

    all the processes in the company, increase data security, improve marketing sector and improve
    coordination in the three continents.
    Site- to- Site Virtual Private Network
    Site- to- site Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection will be used to create a link
    between the three continents. Virtual Private Network commonly referred to as VPN is a
    collection of many computers or isolated networks linked together through the Internet. Before
    VPN is set, each site will require the Internet connection. The internet connection will be
    accessed through a modern fiber optic cable (preferably, Verizon’s FIOS). The fiber optic
    technology is very effective because it will provide about 40 Mbps.
    The VPN will ensure that the three sites where the company’s operations are carried out
    are accessed to broad or larger network. Since the internet is not a private entity, the major
    concern that will be put into consideration during the process of implementing of the VPN is
    security issues. To avoid hackers and attacker from accessing the important information of the
    company, a tunnel will be created via the internet whereby the information or traffic that will
    pass through the tunnel can be encrypted to protect the sensitive data and information (Allis,
    2013).
    Site to site VPN will require a gateway at all the three sites. Data will be encrypted from
    one gateway to another through the internet. The special protocol will be used to create the
    tunnel and data encryption. This system will use Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP). This
    protocol will use a combination of point to point tunnelin...
