Date due:
Type:
Week 10
Individual assignment
Weighting: 40%
Rationale Practical exercises assess students’ ability to apply theoretical learning to practical, real world
situations. This is Individual assignment that each student must design and configure an IT
infrastructure solution for a small organization.
A hard copy report of approximately 2500 must be provided to present your proposed ideas.
The report must satisfy the following specific criteria:
1. Demonstrate ability to plan, locate information using the Internet, organisations and
publications and analyse this information.
2. Demonstrate knowledge of IT Infrastructure and design a network using building-
block approach.
3. Simulate and configure network devices as one step towards network implementation
and testing.
4. Demonstrate the ability to determine cloud base services that suit enterprise
requirements.
Case Study A software development company, iTech has a 900-computer network. The company is
located in three adjacent five-story buildings in an office park, with about 300 computers in
each building. The LAN in each building are similar, but one building- data centre building
(DCB) has data centre on the second floor. The data centre provides web and email services
to the enterprise employee. In addition, it provides dynamic IP assign, share file and DNS
services. The domain name of the company is: www. iTech.org.au. The current network is
poorly designed for its current needs and must be completely replaced.
The head officer of the IT department wants to get two design proposal of the new network.
The first design considers the dedicated server techniques by hosting all the iTech servers
within its buildings. While the Cloud hosting to be considered in the second design.
Develop a logical design for the DCB of this enterprise campus. Your design must
demonstrate a detail logical design based on three-layers hierarchal model. The design should
include the set of required servers, network devices, and connection with justification and

supported diagrams. You have to make some assumptions with the required justifications for
your design.
Task Specifications Prepare a report to propose a network design for the iTech company. Use the building-block
approach to design the network for the company. Your design proposal should consider the
followings:
I. Using dedicated server design
1. Developing logical network design that includes the geographical scope of the
network and a categorization of current and future network needs of the various
network segments, users, and applications.
2. Develop a detail logical design based on three-layers hierarchal model. The design
should include the set of required network devices and servers, with the justification.
3. Specify the IP addresses, subnet masks to the various networks and control the
process by which IP addresses are assigned to individual clients and servers.
4. Use network simulator (Cisco Packet Tracer) to simulate part of the DCB network.
The simulation scenario should include the access layer devices, web server, DHCP,
and DNS. Your scenario should demonstrate how the client computers dynamically
obtained IP network configuration including IP, DNS, and default gateway addresses.
In addition, you have to demonstrate how the client accessing the web server.
II. Using Cloud hosting design:
Propose two organizations that provides Cloud services for hosting the DCB servers.
Justify your answer by explaining the level of services each company provides that suit
the iTech requirements.
You have to make some assumptions with the required justifications for your design.

SAI440 Week 4 Case Study

Atlantic Manufacturing is a manufacturer of small motors. The company had problems with order acquisition, operations, distribution, and accounting systems. Some of the specific issues were identified as being

  • information supplied to sales force is inaccurate;
  • customers requesting reduced lead times;
  • credit system inconsistent, producing collection problems;
  • service calls lack warranty information; and
  • quality control system not integrated.

In this week’s case study, you will be investigating their decisions for the ERP sales and marketing modules implemented and what specific areas each of those decisions addressed. Identify both the purpose and benefits that their system was to have provided and whether that was achieved. Major focus should be given to the decisions and assumptions made as well as the reasons made for their selection. There are no specific references given for this case study, only some background information references to help you in your research. It is suggested that in your research, you pay particular attention to their competition and how it affected their sales and marketing needs.

Psychotherapy-Nursing

The Assignment
In a 1- to 2-page paper, address the following:

  • Briefly describe how cognitive behavioral      therapy (CBT) and rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) are similar.
  • Explain      at least three differences between CBT and REBT. Include how these      differences might impact your practice as a mental health counselor.
  • Explain      which version of cognitive behavioral therapy you might use with clients      and why. Support your approach with evidence-based literature. (Please use APA formanting Introduction, summary References, )
  • Week 4: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
    When first introduced, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was unlike any other therapeutic approach. For years, psychotherapeutic techniques were driven by psychoanalytic theories. These techniques were time consuming, leaving many therapists frustrated with the length of time involved in helping their clients achieve a sense of relief. With the development of CBT, however, therapists were able to help their clients heal more quickly. This poses the questions: If CBT is more efficient than other techniques, why isn’t it used with all clients? How do you know when CBT is an appropriate therapeutic approach?
    This week, as you examine cognitive behavioral therapy and its appropriateness for clients, you compare it to rational emotive behavioral therapy. You also develop diagnoses for clients receiving psychotherapy and consider legal and ethical implications of counseling these clients.

    Assignment 1: Cognitive Behavioral Theory Versus Rational Emotive Behavioral Theory
    While cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) have many similarities, they are distinctly different therapeutic approaches. When assessing clients and selecting one of these therapies, you must recognize the importance of not only selecting the one that is best for the client, but also the approach that most aligns to your own skill set. For this Assignment, as you examine the similarities and differences between CBT and REBT, consider which therapeutic approach you might use with your clients.
    Learning Objectives
    Students will:
    · Compare cognitive behavioral therapy and rational emotive behavioral therapy
    · Recommend cognitive behavioral therapies for clients
    To prepare:
    · Review the media in this week’s Learning Resources.
    · Reflect on the various forms of cognitive behavioral therapy.
