IFSM 310 3D Printing Stage 4
Assignment
Before you begin this assignment, be sure you:
·
Have
completed all previously assigned readings.
·
Read
the “3D Printing Case Study."
·
Reviewed
the feedback on your 3D Printing Stage 1, 2 and 3 Assignments.
It is now a year later, and Mark has opened his two new facilities
in Memphis, Tennessee and Phoenix, Arizona.
All three locations are operating almost around the clock to create 3D
printed accessibility and assistive devices.
Mark and his father are planning to open several more facilities, also
located near Veterans Administration Hospitals and rehab facilities.
Mark does not want to continue to increase his IT
infrastructure at the original location and has decided to move all of his
systems and files to a cloud service provider.
You have recommended that since he has everything set up the way he
wants it and the systems are performing well for him, that he just move what he
has to an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud provider. Before Mark agrees to this, he wants to
understand more about just how that would work, using his current systems and
locations. He also has a lot of
questions about how the communications systems work, and he wants to understand
the protocols, the architecture and the four layer TCP model.
Use the following outline for your paper:
1.
Provide an opening paragraph as an introduction that explains what is
contained in the paper. (You might write
this after you develop the rest of your paper.)
2.
Explain what IT infrastructure changes will occur at the original
location by telling Mark which components will be located at the IaaS cloud
provider's location and what will remain at his facility. Explain any changes that are needed at the
two remote locations in order to use the IaaS cloud services. Provide a list of which components will be
located at the cloud location, at Mark's primary facility, and at the two
remote locations.
3.
Create an original
graphical representation showing the cloud provider and the three current
locations. Show which components will be
located at the cloud provider's site and which will remain at the three
locations. Label each component and the
locations.
4.
List the protocol
involved for each communication link in the design, including internet
connectivity, wired connections, and wireless connections. Be sure to include security protocols, as
appropriate to the infrastructure design you created and the components you
identified.
5.
Explain the concept of a layered systems architecture to aid in communications and the benefit of a layered architecture such
as the TCP or OSI model.
6.
Using the four layer TCP model, explain what each layer's function is and how it will apply when Mark uses his ERP
information system that will be located at the cloud service provider's location.
7.
Using the four layer TCP model, explain what happens when a packet of information travels from the server at the cloud provider
to a tablet device at Mark's facility.
Be sure to identify the points at which each of the layers of the model
are the primary enabler of the communication.
Formatting:
·
All parts of the
assignment except for the graphic should be about 3-4 single spaced pages in
length, and be in Microsoft Word format, or a format that can be read in Word.
·
Part 3 is an original
graphic diagram that should be included in the same document.
·
Compare your work to the Grading Rubric below to be
sure you have met content and quality criteria.
·
Your submission should include your last name
first in the filename: Lastname_firstname_Stage_4
GRADING RUBRIC:
The
