Question

Kelvin called the meeting to order. The first person to address the group was Susan Hamir, the network design consultant from Costly & Firehouse, LLC. She reviewed the critical points from the design report, going over its options and outlining the trade-offs in the design choices. When she finished, she sat down and Kelvin addressed the group again: "We need to break the logjam on this design issue. We have all the right people in this room to make the right choice for the company. Now here are the questions I want us to consider over the next three hours." Kelvin pressed the key on his PC to show a slide with a list of discussion questions on the projector screen.
a. What questions do you think Kelvin should have included on his slide to start the discussion?
b. If the questions were broken down into two categories, they would be cost versus maintaining high security while keeping flexibility. Which is more important for SLS?

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Some of the questions Kelvin should have included on his slide to start the discussion are:-

• Why are there differences in opinion on internet architecture?  

• What is the level of security that needs to be implemented?

• How can it be achieved, and what is the cost of this implantation?  

• What is the best design, loops and pitfalls identified in each design, and shortcomings with each design?

b. It is always better to invest in maintaining high security with flexibility. Investing in a great design helps not only establishing a better ground to begin with, but can avoid headaches for later, when there may be a security breach/threat. Investing in a better design may help to prevent future issues.
