Determine Data Network Architectures Supporting Local to Global Needs Including Security, Reliability, and Capacity
Instructions
Background
Organizations face a tough challenge with more interconnected and complex networks: designing data network architectures that seamlessly support local requirements and global efficiency. As businesses expand across borders, they encounter diverse regulatory environments, varying customer behaviors, and geopolitical dynamics. These forces of fragmentation necessitate a fresh approach that strikes a delicate balance between standardization and differentiation.
Instructions
In your PowerPoint presentation, analyze and explain the various data network architectures that cater to local and global requirements, focusing on aspects such as security, reliability, and capacity. Clearly illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of these architectures in addressing diverse network demands, ensuring that your slides provide a comprehensive understanding of their capabilities and limitations. The audience for your presentation comprises CIO and CSO of the organization.
- By illustrating the strengths and weaknesses, capabilities and limitations, your presentation should lead a leadership audience to draw conclusions and decide to either approve, invest, not invest, or consider your recommendations.
- Use supporting information (materials, examples, graphics, statistics, references, etc.) that is credible, relevant, and aligned with the communication goal of helping leaders make decisions.
