Technical Feasibility Technology Availability

Published Date: 02 Nov 2017

VPN connection is available because it is used before and it is very commonly technique.

It will provide wireless controller for control the APs in whole branches: type of technique is available in cisco suppliers also in Middle East college labs so we can use and we have used before in MEC.

It will provide IPS device to protect the external network and internal network: IPS device is also available in MEC or in ITA in the KOMs.

It will replace the software firewall and place the hardware firewall ASA 5510: this technique is available in MEC project LAB and we can implemented.

In addition will provide Remote Administrative to control the system remotely: this software is available because some of students used before.

I will support OWA for use emailing system outside by providing DMZ: this technique is used before in MEC as communication server administration module.

I will protect the internal network through DMZ zone by adding exchange server, webserver, Lync server: this available in MEC also in OPP but the exchange server, the other software not used in OPP as Lync server and web server so we can provided because it is frequently used.

Provide more layer of protection as support authentication over WC: this type of authentication we can provided it is implemented in MEC, so it is available.

Will provide VLAN management over network devices in branches: this type is available because it is built in cisco switches.

Back up servers will be providing for 3 branches: it is available in OPP they used before in other branches.

It will provide Pfsense as open source Linux server for protecting the internal users from sniffing and management the internet traffic: this technique is available in web site as free system as open source.

Resources availability:

Resource availability mean that all devices which it will be implemented should be available to do the project if not it will not complete the project without resource whatever are software or hardware. Some of these devise and programs or servers are provided be myself mean that it is depend on my skills as Pfsense Linux server or considering as open source software, but other devices and software are provided by Information Technology authority as suppliers for Oman Public Prosecution and other devices are exists in OPP store mean they have devices for future requirements.

Economic Feasibility:

Economic feasibility means the cost effectiveness or availability for doing the project in good manner and perfect quality by reducing the cost and gains the time mean that if we finishing the project before the estimated time that mean we got the time to testing and safe money. Therefore economic feasibility have two types of cost benefits one is tangible and the other is intangible, tangible mean that all prices are fixed mean that all prices are depend on the given budget it is fixed cannot be change or increase out of budget but there are some probability to increase out of the budget this type is called intangible mean cannot be imaging how to be the cost, there are many causes that can be change the cost as holydays weather, salaries, foods, home etc.

Performing the cost benefit analysis:

This table is consider as the project resources cost for each year, it is give us the total cost of the all items in the table per year and the cumulative cost it is give us the total of the earlier year, so the benefit of this table is tell us how many cost are spent it over these years and what the cumulative cost. This table just as example for project year costs.

Operational feasibility:

Operational feasibility mean that how the new system will be accepted from the mangers, IT administration, staff or employees, this acceptation are depend on make training for the staff and mangers or IT support or administrator, or explained in meeting how to implemented in our network and how it will work and what the impacts for this things which supposed to do in the our life, these will achievement by using some learning ways or methods like posters, projectors or create virtual system to test it before implemented in virtual computers or devices.

Whatever my objective are focus on the network infrastructure, mean when we implemented new device like IPS ASA firewall or Pfsense those devices and software are not effect in fact, except Pfsense that will used to management the internet to divided the bandwidth to all staff according their levels, for example top manager should has perfect speed, but other employees should be they speed in balanced or same speed to avoid the traffic in the internet and so on. because they required that to balance the internet in their OU , on the other hand the Lync server which as a new system that will implement it will effect but in IT support so no worry if they accept or not because they required that. In addition WLC which is support Authentication security, securely the top managers or who has the authority power in OPP will accept this technology if we return back to the OPP background information we will get that OPP information system inside the organization are sensitive because it is care about the people condition’s as we know that so he will accept that because no need any to do some complex things just write user and password as he login to the PC. In this case each one in the OPP OU will access the internet in securely manner.
