Information Technology Sample 2009

2009 Sample Examination (P-2) INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 1 ESSAYS: A. You have been assigned to plan the setup of an IT infrastructure for a new UN peacekeeping mission. The mission will be physically located in a war-torn country, whose infrastructure has been ruined due to years of conflict. The mission HQ (Headquarters) will be located in the capital of the country. In addition, there are 2 (two) field locations positioned near the border of the country, where conflict is rife and the situation is not stable. This infrastructure will be available to all UN staff members (230 people) deployed to the mission (capital and field). Users will be able to use local and remote servers, their PCs/laptops and access the internet, intranet, e-mail services, network printers and access to word processing and spreadsheet software in a secure and stable fashion. There is no local infrastructure (electricity, communications, hardware, etc.) to support this project and all equipment and services will be flown in from a UN logistics base situated in a secure and safe location. Field personnel will be able to remotely access servers in the mission HQ and in the remote UN logistics base. The following details are provided: - The mission HQ building is a four-story building that will support the office work of 150 (one hundred and fifty) staff members. It has a large basement to support servers and network devices and a leveled backyard to support generators and satellite communications. - The 2 (two) field offices are remote from the mission HQ in the capital and situated in 4 (four) tents (2 tents for each field office). The conditions of the field offices are difficult, and there is a limited amount of space to support the work of the 40 (forty) staff members in each of the field offices. Each staff member in the field will require similar services to the ones offered in the mission HQ. - The UN logistics base will provide you with all the necessary equipment and satellite communications to support the IT infrastructure in the new UN peacekeeping mission. a.) Describe the IT infrastructure you are proposing for the new UN peacekeeping mis sion; list the necessary e quipment and quantities for the mission HQ and the 2 (two) field offices; what communication services will you require from the remote UN logistics base? b.) Draw a diagram of your proposed IT infrastructure to support the new UN peacekeeping mission. c.) What measures should be taken to ensure the security of your proposed IT infrastructure?
