As CIO, prepare a presentation to the CEO detailing and justifying the telecommunications plan you developed in Week $1.$ Diagram your network$($s$),$ detailing all of the interconnections and ports. Describe the topology of the network and why it was selected. Explain how the information is encoded and transmitted.

This assignment can be done in either Word or PowerPoint. Each page of the presentation should list the business requirement$($s$)$ met by the system, a diagram of your recommended system $($detailing all of the data nodes, data transmission methods, and the interconnections between them$),$ and a bulleted list of considerations made in the selection of your particular system design.

This was my telecommunication plan from week $1$:

Wide Area Network $($WAN$)$: We will establish a robust WAN infrastructure connecting our locations, leveraging high$-$speed internet connections and MPLS $($Multiprotocol Label Switching$)$ technology. That will guarantee peak performance and reliability when transmitting data between our headquarters and warehouses.

Local Area Network $($LAN$)$: LANs will be deployed at each location and equipped with enterprise$-$grade gigabit Ethernet switches and wireless access points. That will provide high$-$speed connectivity for employees.

Unified Communication Platform: The implementation of a unified communication platform, such as Microsoft Teams, provides voice, video, messaging, and collaboration tools in a single interface. Furthermore, integration with our email system and other business applications will streamline communication and workflow processes, enabling employees to communicate seamlessly across multiple devices and locations.

Cloud$-$based Storage and Backup Solutions: Cloud$-$based storage solutions, such as Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or Dropbox Business, should be adopted to centralize data storage and facilitate automated backup processes. Furthermore, deploying data encryption and access controls is imperative to uphold data confidentiality and adhere to regulatory standards, reducing the likelihood of data breaches or unauthorized access.

Advanced Security Measures: Implementing robust security measures encompass intrusion detection next$-$generation firewalls, and prevention systems $($IDS$/$IPS$),$ and endpoint protection solutions.
