Discuss about the First Couriers Pty Ltd for Conference on Pattern Languages.

The client of the project is First Couriers Pty Ltd. The First Couriers Pty is a courier service agency that provides dealings regarding the transaction services and act as the channel for the transportation of products and services. First Couriers Pty limited has 2 branches which is operated by a single median server the courier company has the support of 2 windows 2008 system. 2 printers are also present in the location of the of branches of the First Pty Limited. Both the windows 2008 server as well as the printer is located in the offices and are differentiated in the logical order of one computing system at each centre. The major requirement of the client is that the organization wants to connect the port of both the switches in order to connect the deserves in case the serves are needed to be connected. He organization also wants more number of servers to be connected in the Werribee branch as the number of employees working in the organization is more. The fact that with the increase in more number of employees the servers that will be required is more for the establishment of the efficient functioning of the servers in the branch of the organization. 

The main business problem is that the organization has been thinking of increasing the stature of the business organization hence the organization has rough in 5 sets of computers and printers that ensured the fact that growth of the organization has been  te main target o the organization. This is the reason threat the organization has hired the IT manager for the setting of  the servers in which are used for the connection of the computers and the printers to set the coordination of the computing system of the courier services. the customers wants the setting up of the servers for the proper connectivity of the networking system. this will ensure the fact that connectivity among the organization members stays efficient and the functionality of the organization gain enhanced option of the methodologically efficient functioning of the organization.

The branches of the organization that deals with the servicing of the  server services that requires the internet speed of 1 Gbps which wills be used by  both the branches of the organization and the speed of the internet will get divided taking onto consideration fact of the usage of the internet in 2 organizations each. The speed varies as the usurpation of the data is different in both the branch of the organization. This enables the fact that the data to be transferred from both each branches differ hence the peed must also vary for both the organization.

Hardware Specifications

1. List the security requirements, including authentication and authorization.

The software that are required for the maintenance of the authentication of the software application are as follows: –

• Centrify: Centrify is one of the most widely used application that provides authentication check to the authenticity of the ser to gain access to the data that are stored in the servers of the networking system.
• Authy: Authy is also another application software that provides security to the data that is stored as it does not allow the entrance of the clients who cannot authenticate themselves as the genuine clients hence the data is secured.

The hardware redundancies that are followed in this organization are as follows: –

• Passive hardware redundancies: Passive redundancy uses the capacity that intends the impact of the redundancies to reduce the component failures of the project. The most available mode of reduced components fails to produce the desired outcome. In case o passive redundancy, it provides extra strength to the networking system that helps to gain robustness of the networking system. This excess strength allows the networking system to sustain and not collapse in case of the failure in the networking system. This robustness in the networking system to keep the data protected from the unauthenticated access of the intruders. This aspects acts as the major benefit of using the passive hardware redundancy. The redundancy like the active hardware redundancy and the hybrid hardware redundancy are not as efficient as the passive redundancy in case of the courier service.
