Business Continuity Plan for Riordan Manufacturing
Riordan Manufacturing is in need of a new network, this plan will develop a network that will benefit the business, the employees and the customers in a manner that will provide all of them with a smooth operating experience as well as to future proof the entire network. The Network will handle all incoming and outgoing traffic for both the employees on the intranet, as well as the customers on the external internet web site. Quality of Service (QoS) will be implemented to assist in data tracking for use of the bandwidth to determine and plan how much bandwidth is needed and to determine where congestion issues are as they arise. The plan is to implement all of the locations into one wide area network (WAN). The locations are in San Jose, California; Albany, Georgia; Pontiac, Missouri and Hangzhou, China. All of these locations will be backed up and implemented to run together as one unit while maintaining the flexibility of the local area networks (LAN’s) that they are. All access will use VPN’s for the added security layer using the client CITRIX. Security measures will also be implemented to ensure that the network is secure for the business, its employees and of course, the customers. This plan will outline and identify the information team, from the Chief Information Officer (CIO), to the programmer analyst to show the order of the IT team and the roles they are currently in.
