Building and
Installing a Business
File Server
A PROJECT PROPOSAL
PREPARED BY: TIMOTHY NG, ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN
JUNE 26TH, 2014
Problem
How can employees get off-site access to company
files?
For the past nine years our company has relied on
local and paper information systems.
Our company strives to provide the best and most up
to date information to our clients.
New Location – New Outlook
Addressing the Problem
This proposal will attempt to bring to light the current
problems and possible solutions, as well as analyze
benefits and limitations.
This will be accomplished using a combination of
scope defining, risk analysis, K-T analysis, and the
SDLC.
The Opportunity
Because of the mobile and constantly changing
environment that we work in. Our staff and engineers
need to have off site access to company files in order
to demo for clients or for student labs.
Having accessibility to pull up any company file
without having to email or bring it along on a flash
drive would be very beneficial for the organization
Project proposal   Timothy Ng
Requirements
The proposed solution must be accessible from any
computer with internet access.
A tentative budget must be formed that fulfills the
scope of the project as well as leaving room for future
expansion.
The time frame of this project should bring the project
to completion by September 2014.
Proposed Solution
FTP server
running
FreeBSD
Redundant disk
array for storage
Off site backup
for important
documents
Wired 1Gbps
connection for
workstations
Anticipated Problems
Initial purchase of hardware may be cost prohibitive.
Poor internet connection would result in slow file
transfers.
Loss of power or physical damage could cause
server outages.
Immediate Action Items
Identify what critical documents need to be
accessed.
Update all software licenses for
workstations.
Prepare site for installation of the new
server.
Notify users of the upcoming changes.
