CIS 210 Website Migration Project
Term Paper: Website Migration Project
Strayer University
CIS 210 (Systems Analysis Development)
16 June 2014
Discuss what it will take to build a web architecture, move an existing website with minimal downtime, and provide a disaster recovery solution to ensure the site is always available.
A new independent company has recently purchased Tony’s Chips and the new leadership has decided to move the website to an internally hosted site instead of the current external hosted site. The new leadership is also requiring that a back-up site is available as they are very concerned about redundancy for the site. In addition to the migration of the website from an external host to an internal host the website will need to be redesigned in order to allow customers to order and purchase products online. In order to build the architecture, migrate the existing website along with adding the ability for the customers to place orders online and providing for redundancy of the site the system development life cycle (SDLC) will be used. The SDLC consists of five phases that will be utilized in this project and the five phases are systems planning, systems analysis, systems design, systems implementation, and systems support and security.
When building a web architecture the first and possibly most important step in the process is the systems planning …show more content…
Primary hardware that must have a backup to ensure availability is the web server and the database server. In addition to having a primary and a backup of each of these two servers a replication server must also be implemented into the architecture in order for the databases on each server to mirror each other. With proper planning and implementation of this system if the primary servers have a failure there will not be any interruption of service to the customer who is accessing the
