Question

To gain approval for a new network design, upgrade, or enhancement, you will have to present your network design, project costs, and project plan to all the stakeholders, which includes senior leadership. Through the last five weeks, you have created your network design, and now it is time to promote that design and get approval for this project.

During the course, you have designed a network to meet the specific needs of your client. Now, it is time to showcase that design. When you are dealing with a client, communication plays a key role in your professional success. You may have a very effective design, but you may not still be able to achieve maximum client satisfaction if you cannot communicate your design to your client properly.
For this part of the Final Project, review this week’s resources. Give special attention to the resource “Oral Presentation and PowerPoint.” Remember the following when developing the presentation:

Keep the presentation short and simple.

Do not load the presentation down with paragraphs of text. Keep it simple and use images.

Make sure that the presentation is informative and that it uses facts and figures.

When presenting to a non-technical audience, try to refrain from making it too technical. Remember that the presentation would normally be presented to leadership who most likely will not understand the technical information.

Explain clearly to the leadership the costs and benefits that the network will offer to the organization.

Presentation (6–10 slides):
Create a PowerPoint presentation with a narrative overlay. The overall slide show must be in the 8–10 minute range. The presentation must be engaging, organized, easy to understand, appropriate for the intended audience, and complete the following:

Introduce the presentation

Describe the network in layman’s terms

Identify how the network meets each specific client need

Describe how the network ensures security

Provide technical details with which the client needs to be familiar

Instruct the client on any technical needs for supporting the network

Summarize the presentation

Note: To complete this presentation, you must have Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 or a higher version loaded on your computer. In addition, you must have a microphone to record your oral narrative to accompany the presentation.
Once the PowerPoint slides are complete, you have created a written copy of the narrative, and you have tested the narrative to be sure it is the proper overall length (time), you will embed the oral narrative into the file. To embed the narrative, complete the following steps.
Beginning with the first slide:

Select the Slide Show Tab—Record Narration—Set microphone level.

Talk into your microphone to make sure it is working properly.

Click OK—Begin your narrative for the first slide.

Advance to the next slide (left click)—Be sure you are done speaking before you left click.

Record the narrative for the second slide.

Continue advancing through the slides and recording your narrative.

After the last slide, you will be asked if you want to save the slide timings—Select SAVE.

Now start your slide show. The show will progress at the pace you set while creating the narrative for each slide.

If you need to redo the recording, simply go back to the first slide. Then, select the Slide Show Tab and re-record your narrative, or you may choose to re-record just one slide at a time.

REPEAT steps 1–8 until you are satisfied with the presentation and your slide show is completed in 6–10 minutes.

Save the PowerPoint presentation with embedded narrative.
Submit your Final Project Part 5 through uploading your file (saving it according to the filenaming convention specified in this Assignment’s submission link) by Day 5.

Answer 1

When an organization expands, the network must support the organization, therefore the original network plan should contain techniques from upgrading the original network. In certain case, the organization may need to include several network hardware devices,of different quality, from different manufacturers, as well as different network connection technologies, to connect fresh customers. Whenever, a fresh component is included in a network, it may degrade the quality of the network too, therefore the network should be designed with utmost care. It best recommended to include managed service provider when designing a network. Before designing a network, the on-site technician should perform a site survey to determine the where network equipment can be installed in the network.

• The number of clients as well as how many network users, printers, and company servers will the network types support should be determined, Generally, we should obtain how many users will be included in the next 12 months as well as how many network servers the network has to contain.For wired plus Wireless Local Area Network, a wireless-only network (802.11x) can be employed.
• A high-speed Internet connection DSL router should be employed for faster internet connectivity.
• The needs of specific applications such as voice as well as video need extra network device configuration as well as fresh ISP services.
• As soon as the network is connected to the Internet, it opens physical links which consists of more than 50,000 unknown networks as well as all their unknown users. Therefore Integrated Services Routers (ISR) should include firewall and other capabilities.
