Company Name: New-Trust Bank, Dallas TX

The bank is helping companies to do online transactions with the customers who hold their credit cards (New-Trust Bank Credit Card). The Bank has a headquarters in Dallas TX with 300 employees.

FDIC regulations require that Banks must keep customer information (including contact, identification, and transactions) for five years after the account is closed.
Question 1:

Client/Server Network for Intranet.

New-Trust Bank’s IT system is cable of processing 15,000 customers a day. All Customer accounts are kept in the Customer Accounts database and there is a backup system to fulfill the FDIC regulations. Customer transaction information has to be moved to the long-term memory (archive) for backup and to fulfill the FDIC regulations. This database is within the New-Trust Bank IT data center. All company employees will be connected to the Customer Accounts database via the intranet.

Task: Develop a Client/Server diagram for the Bank’s management office intranet only. You should present the client computers (office PCs), network devices, the customer accounts database, and long-term data storage (archive) in your Intranet diagram. You should not be specific about the number of computers in the LAN, you can use generic numbers for presentation purposes. For security reasons; there is no requirement for wireless devices. All connections must be via cable.

Your Intranet diagram has to have the following components

Bank’s management office intranet:

Client Computers (Office PCs),
Network Devices (switch, router, etc.)
Server(s)
Customer Accounts Database
Employee Database
Long-term Data storage (archive) for Customer Accounts

Question 2:

Cloud Computing

It looks like New-Trust Bank Credit Card will become very popular in near future. And there will be more companies that will accept Bank Credit Cards in the future. Each company will bring more customers for the Bank. This growth in customer numbers is of course good for the Bank, but the Bank managers are worried about the current data center and the FDIC regulations. The current data center cannot handle this fast growth of customer numbers. They need your help with the solution.

Consider the Bank’s IT system and the expectations from the Bank Management to accommodate the expansion of the customer numbers and FDIC regulations. Which sections/components/services would be achieved by Cloud Computing?

List the IT components that can be moved to Cloud. So, the Cloud service provider can help the growth of the company
List the IT components that can NOT be moved to Cloud. These are the section(s), you would not move to the cloud. List the IT components that can be done by the on-site data center (not Cloud Computing) and write the reason for not caring over to the cloud.
