ABC Financials option for improving the current system

The following proposal below will have the much needed recommendations for ABC financials current systems in which improvements are to be made. The network at ABC Financial is very modern system and by today’s standard can sustain itself in the current technology today. I think the company can expand their network and VOIP infrastructure to increase their call flow ability and to keep up with other call centers who are currently upgrading their systems also improve the efficiency of the companies network and design.

The structure of the companies IT systems are networking and software applications. The networking side of the company consists of the Wintel/Linux systems and network infrastructure and the network security teams and the storage infrastructure. The software applications side of the company is composed of the Interactive Intelligence software suite and the IBM I740 data management center and a software application called data-trak.

The networking side of the business needs the ability to handle large amounts of data and encrypt the data quickly and to make sure users have fast access to that information and an analysis of those needs would be that the setup of the network reflects the need for the company to use 1000baseT networking setup, in which the Wintel team and the storage infrastructure would make good use of the 1000baseT networking setup with the two teams working together by means of a Cisco based hardware bridge that would facilitate communications on a department level. I also recommend that all switches are checked and verified they are all POE switches so that no additional power outlets have to be ran, when we get to the subject of AP’s

The network security team and the storage infrastructure are in good condition, but I have some areas of improvement that I would like to implement. I think that ABC Financial can extend their network to further compete with newer call centers and the needs to support newer devices and technology. One example is that we can change the way we log into the VPN. We currently use the RSA security token system. I recommend that we go to the Entrust token system in which it will make logging in much safer and simpler when users are outside of the firewall Another improvement I would recommend would be the Cisco wireless AP’s with signal range extenders to cover the whole campus in which users and guest users can access the network all over the campus.
