Introduction• The 21st century is characterized by massive

use of information and communication technologies in almost every lines of work.

• My area of interest falls within associating theoretical and practical studies, and want to extend this to the use of technology in the Archdiocese of Beira.

• The project will covered the steps of data collection, data analysis, and proposed implementation of the network and its services.

Page 4: Masters thesis presentation

About Archdiocese of Beira• The Archdiocese of Beira is a religious

institution, which operates in Sofala Province.• It has the central offices in Beira, Rua Correia

de Brito, 125. • It was founded on September 4, 1940 • The current archbishop is Don Claudio Zuanna.• The Archdiocese of Beira, is organized into two

major sectors - the secretariat of pastoral coordination, and the secretariat of the diocese.

Page 5: Masters thesis presentation

Problem Description• The activity of every organization, in the 21st

century, relies on Information and Communication Technology for its performance and achievement.

• There is no way an organization can operate successfully without a well-structured information communication system.

• Currently Archdiocese of Beira does not have a computer network infrastructure that suits the operations of a religious institution.

Page 6: Masters thesis presentation

Problem Description(Cont)• With lack of a computer network infrastructure,

this institution faces the problems listed below: – Lack of security of computer resources currently

available and connected to internet– Lack of file sharing– Lack of computer resources sharing, such as printers– Vulnerability of resources connected to the Internet

in terms of virus and malware attacks– High costs in the use of paper, and not sharing

resources– Lack of ICT policy for that institution

Page 7: Masters thesis presentation

Project Description

• The core theme of this project is to analyse, design and implement a network communication system for archdiocese of Beira.

• The entire problems highlighted above must be solved within the project.

Page 8: Masters thesis presentation

Project Goal• The goal is to create a network communication

system to improve the operations of archdiocese of Beira.

• This will be done by structuring the network, including all the necessary services and components, build a portal that will change the face of the organization by making it easy for communication in all aspects, involving the most remote users.

Page 9: Masters thesis presentation

Current state of the network infrastructure• As mentioned previously the Archdiocese of

Beira is composed of two major units that are the secretariat of pastoral coordination with approximately 17 departments and the Secretariat of the Archdiocese of approximately 7 departments.

Common aspects to both units• The two separate connections are a financial

burden to the archdiocese. • The other problem is the speed of the

connection. • Most of the time it becomes so slow that can

take up to five minutes to download a simple web page.

• There is nobody responsible for technical issues to ensure quality of services, particularly in computer resources including the internet connection.

Page 13: Masters thesis presentation

Common aspects to both units• The means used by the archdiocese (the two units)

to communicate with other parishes and other constituents are manually written letters, faxes, telephone communication using land lines and mobile telephone, e-mail for pastors and priests who have computers and public e-mail addresses.

• Don Claudio Zuanna, revealed that he created a domain (diocese.beira.org) in Italy before his coming to Mozambique, to streamline the technological needs of an institution he is going to head.

Page 14: Masters thesis presentation

User Needs

• Because we need to create a communication system for the archdiocese, we had to first get the organizations user’s need, which are the following:– User needs

Page 15: Masters thesis presentation

Implementation Methodologies

Page 16: Masters thesis presentation

Network connectivity

• The connection to the internet will use T1 Leased Line Connection or Fiber Optic which is a permanent, dedicated high performance telecommunications network connection which can transport voice and data via a copper or fiber optic connection between a customer site and the ISP’s hub.

• The preferred ISP will be Movitel.

Page 17: Masters thesis presentation

Domain Name and Web Hosting

• The creation of a local-Mozambican domain name which ends with .mz is highly recommended.

• Because the organization needs to implement a network capable of hosting their own web site, we recommend Movitel as the ISP for such services since they provide services from they own fiber connectivity with better performance than other ISPs.

Page 18: Masters thesis presentation

Network cabling

• The network will consist in two parts - wired and wireless.

• For the wired part, the use UTP Cat6 which is an improvement on the cat5 and cat5e is recommended.

• It is a standard cable used in Gigabit Ethernet network connections. This will enable the same connectivity be used for voice in the future.

Page 19: Masters thesis presentation

Wireless Networking• For the wireless network, the use of UniFi

Enterprise Wi-Fi System is recommended.• UniFi Enterprise Wi-Fi System is a scalable

enterprise access point solution designed to be easily deployed and managed.

• UniFi AP indoor models have a soft design and can be easily mounted to a ceiling tile or wall using the included mounting hardware.

• Standard: Wireless Indoor Access Point 2.4 GHz, 802.11b/g/n, 300 Mbps,

Page 20: Masters thesis presentation

Buildings interconnectivity• Because the two buildings are separated by a road

and the total distance between them is approximately 250 meters, we recommend the use of Ubiquiti Pico Station M2-HP 2.4GHz Hi Power 802.11N Outdoor Radio System.

• The PicoStationM2-HP is one of the smallest outdoor 802.11g/n access points and it's also one of the most powerful, with up to 1,000 mW of output power.

• This omni-directional router can provide up to 8 million square feet of wireless coverage.

• It can connect to 802.11g/n devices or, for maximum range and speed, compatible Airmax11n devices.

Page 21: Masters thesis presentation

Routers

• Cisco 3900 Series Generation 2 Router is the recommended router.• The Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2)

platforms are designed to enable the next phase of branch-office evolution, providing rich-media collaboration and virtualization to the branch office while maximizing operational cost savings.

• These routers support – new high-capacity digital signal processors (DSPs) for future enhanced

video capabilities, – high-powered service modules with improved availability,– multicore CPUs, – Gigabit Ethernet switching with Cisco Enhanced Power over Ethernet

(ePoE), – and new energy visibility and control capabilities while enhancing overall

system performance.

Page 22: Masters thesis presentation

Switches

• For this network infrastructure, we recommend Cisco 300 Series Switches.

• Cisco 300 Series Switches deliver the ideal combination of price, performance, and capabilities in a solution designed specifically for small businesses.

Page 23: Masters thesis presentation

Firewalls

• For security reasons the use a Unified Threat Management (UTM) is recommended.

• Unified Threat Management (UTM) is used to describe network firewalls that have many features in one box, including e-mail spam filtering, anti-virus capability, an intrusion detection (or prevention) system (IDS or IPS), and World Wide Web content filtering, along with the traditional activities of a firewall.

Page 24: Masters thesis presentation

Enterprise Servers

• For servers, HP Integrity rx2800 i4 Server or its equivalent is recommended.

• HP Integrity rx2800 i4 Server is a reliable and secure 2U two-socket UNIX server.

• Integrity rx2800 i4 Server enables workload consolidation and software licensing cost savings through HP Virtual Partitions (vPars) or Virtual Machines (VMs), while HP Insight software and HP Integrated Lights-Out 3 (iLO 3) increase staff productivity.

Mail Service• In order to increase the facilities of communications

among parishes and the rest of the world, this service must be implemented as the domain.

• For such a solution Microsoft Exchange Server will be used.

• Microsoft Exchange Server is a mail server, calendaring software and contact manager developed by Microsoft.– It is a server program that runs on Windows Server and

is part of the Microsoft Servers line of products. Exchange 2013 which has the following features will be used.

Page 35: Masters thesis presentation

Web Service

• The web server will be configured using Apache Open Source package.

• Apache is generally recognized as the world's most popular Web server (HTTP server).

• Originally designed for UNIX environments, the Apache Web service has been ported to Windows and other network operating systems.

Page 36: Masters thesis presentation

Print Service

• A centralized print service using a print server will be implemented to minimize cost and administration

• A print server is a device that connects printers to client computers over a network.

• It accepts print jobs from the computers and sends the jobs to the appropriate printers, queuing the jobs locally to accommodate the fact that work may arrive more quickly than the printer can actually handle it.

Page 37: Masters thesis presentation

DHCP Service

• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) will be the recommended protocol for IP addressing.

• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a computer from a defined range of numbers configured for a given network.

• For this project, DHCP in Windows Server 2012, is recommended.

Page 38: Masters thesis presentation

File Service

• File services provide the opportunity to access data which are stored on central file servers will be implemented.

• File Server Role of Windows Server 2012, is recommended, for it provides a central location on your network where you can store and share files with users across your network.

• When users require an important file, they can access the file on the file server instead of having to pass the file between their separate computers.

Page 39: Masters thesis presentation

Backup and Disaster Recovery

• A Data Backup or simply Backup is the result of copying or archiving files and folders for the purpose of being able to restore them in case of data loss.

• An HP Store Once 2620 iSCSI Backup (BB852A) system will be used.

• HP StoreOnce Backup systems reduce the amount of backup data you need to store by up to 95%, with our scale-out architecture you can pay as you grow to retain up to 10 petabytes of data in a single pool.

Page 40: Masters thesis presentation

Conclusion • Implementation of this system will change the face of the

archdiocese of Beira in many ways:– In terms of, effective communication, – increase productivity, and – competitiveness, – cost reduction in bandwidth consumption, – reusability of IT resources, and – cost reduction on printing.

• The difficulties of communication among parishes and archdiocese will improve because the e-mail address will be used by all of the members of the organization, and the file exchange will also be done electronically, rather than printed way happening nowadays.

Page 41: Masters thesis presentation

Future Work • This thesis has outlined all the implementation strategies,

equipment needs, budget and future works yet to be concluded includes the following: – Physical installation and configuration of the network equipment– Connection to the fiber grade– Recruitment of staff to manage the system– Training of staff and users– The acquisition of various materials network otherwise specified

should be done by experts in computer networks as well as certified providers within or outside the country.

• There should be a policy for ICT in order to settle the terms of use of resources.

• All members of the archdiocese should be trained to understand how the system works and do their best use
