Proposed IT Solution
The main idea in this project is to define and design a plan that will be used in implementing a single platform that will be used to support very huge capacity of primary data and being generated in a platform that is internal and that is existing in the cloud.
The board of directors of the TIL need an analysis that is of high level and an IT solution that should be recommended. The urge of such IT solution have come up with other needs like a storage dB to be used for the storage of data.
The idea behind performing this study about the application is increasing the database size on all single platforms so that it can support large volumes of primary data as well as being generated in a platform that is internally and exist in the cloud.
The proposed application is used for increasing and storing the big data in a single place and creating a room for expansion in future
The problems that we face in most cases are directly related to lack of data storage which may lead to poor data management, data security compromised, reduction of the work-efficiency which may make it impossible in finding the necessary info, deletion of data that is precious and old so that we get space to store the new data, it related to loss of data that may cause unplanned interruptions in the network and hardware and the software failures as well as the malware attacking computers. When we lose files in a computer we may take hours or even weeks in recovering it which may lead to creation of idle time to the individual responsible. When the info or data is lost because of our own negligence then it may result to disclosure of information confidentiality. A fines of up to £ 500,000 can be imposed to the company by the office of Info commissioner for violating the “act of data protection” when a customer info or the records of the employee are compromised. Some financial repercussions might be aggravated if the individuals affected decide to take legal actions against such activities. The loyalty of the customer is blurred when there is an event of data loss especially in situations where the customer data has been comprised. Data loss has been affected in series of department of economic and the non-financial effects on a given company. The above can lead to failure of the business permanently which is the worst scenario ever to happen to an ongoing business.
Title of the Project:
Investigator:
We are to solve the problem of storing data in a company. We have done an analysis on the situation and found a solution that will be suitable and meeting the needs and the requirements of the company. We have come up with cloud-based storage which will comply with the specifications givens in our solution. The solution found is the google drives as it will help meeting all the company requirements which will be convenient in comparison to those of the competitors. Google Drive will offer provision for storage and duration that is unlimited for a specific fee annually. Use of Google drive will help in integrating the security system in further improving the data security of the company.

Tech insurance company is need of a cloud-based software platform so that it can be to use for protecting its highly sensitive data in vast amount of data, provide the control that is extreme in user accessing the information and be easy when extracting the information and showing the statistics. This make it easy to be accessed on any intranet and making to have no downtime. Biggest plan is having an additional configurations of the QOS and very highest level of the security in storage for all data to be stored. It is expected in keeping all its esteemed storage of about 100 terabytes that are required in growing between 50 and 100 percent per year having a retention of data for 5 yrs especially in case for personal data, 10 yrs for data of vehicles and much 20 yrs of the data for home.
There are requirements which are extreme for this cloud storage which may require a lot of options when cloud-storage companies are concerned. The test for the criteria is ensuring that they comply with Tech expectations and the confirmation is on the few companies. This has left us in deciding whether to choose the dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive and the Google Drive.
Data security is the most vital and necessary factor when deciding the place to store the confidential data. Before we choose any storage company we must do an analysis for each platform of the cloud and analyzing all flaws of the security on data that were lost previously.
Onedrive
Before we get started it is good to know that OneDrive is a Microsoft package which is an offline service suite that was released on August 1 2007. OneDrive is also known as a port on the back of Ms. Windows’s system. This port acts as an online backup where we can store information on ones account with the Microsoft because it is in all cases we are exposed for security risks because of the system weaknesses such as updates on the window which might be sent without one recognizing. OneDrive offers provision for a versions of intranet for the s/w that will be used only on machines locally and will not offer any QOS functions, as any user can access the unit in the network if he has the logins credentials.
Dropbox is a cloud-based platform storage kind of a program offering provisions to large volume of data in terabytes thus making it to be so competitive when price is concerned but with its advanced QOS system it is able when it comes to restricting the access of the MAC address of all computers with the true key of WPA passwords as it automatically generated itself after every 30 seconds and this makes it to bring to an urge of transporting it in person by a small device.
Cloud Storage Companies Analysis
Infrastructure Requirements
- Need for space to big.
- Need for five or more cabin space
- A complete server room with one exit
- System of CCTV for monitoring
- NBN (National Broadband Network)
- Wall plate of the Ethernet
Telecommunications Requirements
- Personal Computers
- Laptops
- WI-FI signals
- Routers and Switches
- Firewall for security purposes
- Printer and scanners
- Local Area network
- Map drives for online storage
- Cloud
- Servers Storage
Applications Requirements
- Software of the cloud-based (Google Drive)
- Analysis of the product risk
- Share folders which is known as Map drive.
Data Requirements
- GoogleDrive
- Db Software.
In running an efficient dB structure, we may need an increased speed when installing the PCs, server storage and desks for a particular task. When we need large space this may push us in keeping the hardware so that we can maintain the infrastructure. There are many ways through which we can improve the efficiency of the system where we can use the national broadband networking places with current cable in fiber optic places. This has been known for improving the speed and the bandwidth of the current Db making it to increase the speeds when one want to upload and download data to and from the Db. The other point in is that the network speed is constant and have less downtime.
In configuring a communication channel one will need the telecommunication devices mentioned like the routers, switches, etc. Here the users will have the rights and privileges that the admin will require for them to access the data. The users with no privileges will have no access in any way. The RAP software will be used in provision of security 24/7.
In this proposal we have given a solution as the use of GOOGLE DRIVE as the memory in the cloud. The idea behind google drive selection is because they are perfectly fit as they have all major factors by offering a provision of extreme data security measures. The google drive disks offers provisions of storage space that is unlimited. The only people who can access data and store data in Google drive are only the privileged users. It will be only through the software that we are guaranteed a security of high level when uploading and downloading data. The access of data will be made possible if office data cannot be accessed when we are home.
In running an efficient Db system we will need a network that is fast with large storage and hence being secure in software storage. . Google Drive have been known for perfectly meeting the user needs. Google Drive has been known for integrating the security of the system for protection levels with space that is unlimited.
Googledrive
Google is not that competitive in terms of price but it has so many advantages over its competitors. Google offers provision for a security that is extreme buy involving the two factors of authentication. On the other hand Google application authentication is similar to True Key WPA that is configured to having the 3-part authentication services especially before we have access to all files. Google has been known for offering provision of multiple backup copies for the data in ensuring that there is no loss of data in anytime.
Google also has been known for guaranteeing that there will be no downtime that is not planned. When there is some event where there are unforeseen downtime we may receive compensation that is ample.

In implementing the proposed system we need to use a procedural methodology which will involve concurrently use of the new and old system at the same time. This is because of the data migrations and the training of the personnel needed for the changes in the new system. The other area is the customer service training which affects customers in many ways. This training and teachings will be used in provisions of trainings to people in groups who will have that knowledge in new system with no issues and hence providing a lot of support and workshops as well as well the on-site assistance.
