toc =Technological Objective=

To upgrade the current system we will be implementing a number of hardware and software upgrades that we hope will increase speeds, efficiency, and consistency in the network as well as improving overall security. To do this we will need to upgrade various softwares along with two [|routers] and a cable modem that are out of date. Since their initial release, issues have become known with their current model's. It's time to look for up to date models that fit Bombers fast paced environment.

** Proposed Infrastructure **

 * Overview **

The newly added infrastructure for Bombers Burrito Bar will be set up in the same location as the original, with upgraded hardware and software for the benefit of the restaurant. We will be upgrading the following hardware:


 * The current ubee DDW3611 DOCSIS 3.0 wireless cable modem gateway, which was discontinued due to firewall defects, to a Motorola SBG6580 Series wireless cable modem gateway.
 * The current Linksys E1200 Wireless N router to a Linksys E2000 wireless N router.
 * The current RangeMax Wireless Router to a Linksys E2500 Advanced Dual Band N router.

The newly adding and upgrading of computer software at Bomber’s will be to ensure quality performance, reliability, and security. The software we will be upgrading to are the following:


 * Norton Anti-Virus Software.
 * Open Office, an open source office suite that is free. Since our MS Office is out of date we will discontinue its services to reduce costs.
 * The final program to be upgraded is adding network management software. Norton provides free network management software.

** Network traffic mitigation **
This implementation of network upgrading will organize and manage users throughout the Bomber’s organization. The breakup of multiple routers using one upgraded modem will separate managerial devices, point of service devices, and public clientele devices to each hold a strong, consistent, traffic mitigated network connection.

** Service Level Agreement **
The service level agreement that will be proposed for this network system is 99.9%, or a sum of 8.76 hours of unscheduled downtime per year. This percentage will allow scheduled downtime but will not include factors beyond the control of Bomber’s burrito bar. These factors include, but are not limited to: fire, flood, earthquake, and/or other natural disasters.

This level of service implementation is estimated based off of certain anti-failure factors such as: selected hardware/software, Antivirus/firewall programs, network connection and reliability. Also considered is Bomber’s ability to change out defected hardware and utilizing its redundancy system to restore service back to its functional state.

** Asessment Diagram **



 * Controls **
 * 1) Disaster recovery plan
 * 2) Universal Power Supply
 * 3) Firewalls
 * 4) Anti-virus software
 * 5) Locked, reinforced doors
 * 6) Security Cameras
 * 7) Restricted access and authentication
 * 8) Redundancy

Most if not all of the security controls listed above already exist in the Bomber's network, and is deployed on additional hardware as it is acquired. However, certain things should be noted about the current setup:
 * Control notes **
 * Redundancy is hard to keep track of seeing as its through a paid third party.
 * Keys to doors are given on a need-to-use basis, often with no more than one manager having possession of any given key. Critical systems are often protected by locks requiring the keys of more than one employee, making insider sabotage or theft exponentially more difficult.
