Working on a project for my class and need assistance with writing a Linux Implementation Proposal.

 

 

Linux Implementation Proposal
Security SustainFront. has a new research and development group – SSF Dev. All systems in
SSF Dev will run the Linux operating system and will access resources, as well as share
resources, with Security SustainFront’s Microsoft Active Directory domain. The domain consists
of several Windows Server 2012 R2 servers running various services (Microsoft Active
Directory, DNS, DHCP, web services, printing and file services).
Security SustainFront also has around 500 client operating system desktops/laptops that run
Windows 7 and Windows XP. There is a mix of desktop and laptop systems.
Current Desktop/Laptop Configuration for Windows 7:
Processor: Intel Core i7 Second Generation
Memory: 16GB RAM
Hard Drive: 500GB
Network Card: 10/100/1000 Mbps
USB Ports: 4 USB 2.0
Monitor: 20inch LCD
Current Desktop/Laptop Configuration for Windows XP:
Processor: Intel Core 2
Memory: 4GB RAM
Hard Drive: 100GB
Network Card: 10/100 Mbps
USB Ports: 4 USB 2.0
Monitor: 15inch LCD
Your boss wants you to come up with a proposal to replace all Windows XP systems with Linux.
You will implement the Linux variant specified by your instructor.
Requirements
The final submission should contain at least 5 to 7 pages’ worth of text written by the student
(not counting title page, table of content, images, diagrams, tables, or quotations that may be

You must turn this assignment to both the assignment area within our LEO classroom as well as
to the TurnItIn website. Failure to do so may result in point deductions. Follow the TurnItIn
instructions provided within the class.
You must address the following in your proposal and may make any assumptions which are not
specified: Research and justify whether SSF Dev will use existing computer hardware that is being
used with the Windows XP systems, or if new hardware will be required. Plan for migration from Windows XP to Linux.
Determine the hardware to be used and the installation options.
How will users log onto the systems? Explain.
How will systems receive IP addresses? Explain.
How will DNS be accessed by the SSF Dev systems? Explain.
Explain how files on the network may be accessed by SSF Dev.
Explain how SSF Dev can securely share files within their group and other selected
groups/users in the company.
How will printing be handled? Explain.
What, if any, data will be encrypted? Explain.
