Case Study: Problem 4
TheSolarGroup (TSG) wants to be a leader in the engineering of solar solutions for energy generation. A robust network infrastructure is necessary. TSG would like to utilize existing tools to manage the network metadata. One tool is the data dictionary, which provides a repository for metadata or data about data. The principle is to collect data once and use them many times and to ensure the right data are used. An advanced active data dictionary (AADD) supports the enterprise-wide control for standardizing data definitions. The key is to determine how a tool such as a data dictionary might fit into the organizational structure.
Assignment Details
Tasks to be completed before adding the new content for Week 4 are as follows:
• Update the Network Enterprise Architecture Plan document title page with the new date.
• Update the previously completed sections based on your instructor’s feedback.
Week 4: Network Enterprise Architecture Design
Create a “To-Be” vision for the design of the next generation network for your selected organization. Begin with an assessment of the “As-Is” network enterprise architecture (EA) from previous efforts. Identify technology and requirement updates. Include organizational and usage changes, possibly resulting from merger and acquisition changes. Suggest changes that are necessary. Finally, summarize the changes for the new network EA. Include the following in your plan:
• Assess the current network EA, identifying networking needs.
• Analyze changes that are needed to the network EA for requirements and technology upgrades.
• Include these changes into viewpoints to create the network “To-Be” EA.
