IT Consulting Proposal

For this assignment, assume you have been hired by Kris Corporation as an Information Technology consultant. Kris Corporation manufacturers parts for the automotive industry. Your job is to submit a proposal that meets their criteria (listed below) based on information provided. You may fill in any gaps in the specifications provided by making assumptions. All assumptions should be clearly identified.

Current Implementation and Concerns:

• Parent domain (kris.local) and child domain (corp.kris.local) for the organization’s AD infrastructure are running on Server 2012. The following are concerns related to AD: (1) Kris Corporation is concerned about running multiple domain, and (2) automobile manufacturers are asking Kris Corporation to use single identity to procure orders in real time.
• The company has five locations: Atlanta (GA), Baltimore (MD), Chicago (IL), Seattle (WA) and San Diego (CA). The manufacturing plants are in Atlanta and Seattle.
• Disaster recovery is a big concern.
• Physical space for servers is an issue at the Atlanta location.
• Most of the IT staff is in Atlanta, which is the company’s headquarters, but other locations have significant IT personnel as well. Business personnel are similarly distributed across the company’s locations.
• Since all locations are independently connected to the internet, file sharing is difficult among sites.

Your document should integrate the content presented in the course. The outline below provides required points to cover. You are free to add other related information.

Describe the technical and business reasons for each choice, citing other resources as appropriate. The Windows Server 2012 operating system should be used for all aspects of the solution. Each choice should be explained with technical and business reasoning. Solutions should be reasonably detailed.

Your solution should cover the following five numbered areas and associated bulleted items listed under each.

1. Active Directory

• Why and how should the company migrate to 2016 AD?
• Should the company remain at multi-domain model or migrate to single domain?
• What technology can provide single sign on? How will it be configured?

1. DNS

• Where should DNS servers reside?
• What kind of DNS security can the DNS servers leverage?

1. DHCP

• Will a form of DHCP fault tolerance be implemented?
• How can DHCP addresses be tracked?

1. Hyper-V

• Evaluate the pros and cons of implanting Hyper-V. Would it need clustering?
• What features of Hyper-V can Kris Corporation leverage?

1. Routing/Security

• How can Kris Corporation improve its networking capabilities in terms of file sharing and security?

Submission Requirements:

• The final submission should provide 8-10 pages in length (not counting title page, images, diagrams, tables, or quotations).
• Support your proposed solution by citing and integrating at least one credible source that is not LabSim and not Wikipedia. Recommended sources include a best practice guide or reference from Microsoft, or an experienced provider of Microsoft solutions.
• At least one diagram must be included (not counted toward the minimum length described above). You may include more.
• Use terms, evidence, and concepts from class readings.
• Your paper must be formatted according to CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements (Links to an external site.).
• If you need assistance with your writing style, start with the links under the Research Help and Writing Help tabs on the CSU-Global Library’s (Links to an external site.)

First, make sure you are good at Law area and Journalism area before you take this work. Here are the detailed requirements.

Write a report of 160-320 words combined with Trump’s impeachment trial’s news reports and relevant videos from any famous news platforms. You need to contain these points in the report: What do you think is the most important point of this event, what are the moments that impressed you, and what moments in your mind are amazing and unbelievable.

This work must be your original work! This work is very important to me, so high quality must be ensured. Looking forward to your high quality work!

I need two different reports for two students.

A marketing company based out of New York City is doing well and is looking to expand internationally. The CEO and VP of Operations decide to enlist the help of a consulting firm that you work for, to help collect data and analyze market trends.

You work for Mercer Human Resources. The Mercer Human Resource Consulting website (www.mercer.com) lists prices of certain items in selected cities around the world. They also report an overall cost-of-living index for each city compared to the costs of hundreds of items in New York City (NYC). For example, London at 88.33 is 11.67% less expensive than NYC.

More specifically, if you choose to explore the website further you will find a lot of fun and interesting data. You can explore the website more on your own after the course concludes.

https://mobilityexchange.mercer.com/Insights/cost-of-living-rankings#rankings

In the Excel document, you will find the 2018 data for 17 cities in the data set Cost of Living. Included are the 2018 cost of living index, cost of a 3-bedroom apartment (per month), price of monthly transportation pass, price of a mid-range bottle of wine, price of a loaf of bread (1 lb.), the price of a gallon of milk and price for a 12 oz. cup of black coffee. All prices are in U.S. dollars.

You use this information to run a Multiple Linear Regression to predict Cost of living, along with calculating various descriptive statistics. This is given in the Excel output (that is, the MLR has already been calculated. Your task is to interpret the data). Based on this information, in which city should you open a second office in? You must justify your answer. If you want to recommend 2 or 3 different cities and rank them based on the data and your findings, this is fine as well. This should be ¾ to 1 page, no more than 1 single-spaced page in length, using 12-point Times New Roman font. You do not need to do any calculations, but you do need to pick a city to open a second location at and justify your answer based upon the provided results of the Multiple Linear Regression.

What is an Executive Summary?

Think of this assignment as the first page of a much longer report, known as an Executive Summary, that essentially summarizes your findings briefly and at a high level. This needs to be written up neatly and professionally. This would be something you would present at a board meeting in a corporate environment.To help you make this decision here are some things to consider:

• Based on the MLR output, what variable(s) is/are significant?
• From the significant predictors, review the mean, median, min, max, Q1 and Q3 values? It might be a good idea to compare these values to what the New York value is for that variable. Remember New York is the baseline as that is where headquarters are located.
• Based on the descriptive statistics, for the significant predictors, what city/cities has the best potential?
• What city or cities fall above or below the median and/or the mean?
• What city or cities are in the upper 3rd quartile? Or the bottom quartile?

These are some things to consider not necessarily questions you need to answer in your Executive Summary. But they are questions to help guide you along in your analysis.

1. Abnormalities In the 1980s, it was generally believed that congenital abnormalities affected about 5% of the nation’s children. Some people believe that the increase in the number of chemicals in the environment has led to an increase in the incidence of abnormalities. A recent study examined 384 children and found that 46 of them showed signs of an abnormality. Is this strong evidence that the risk has increased?

a) Write appropriate hypotheses.

b) Check the necessary assumptions and conditions.

c) Perform the mechanic s of the test. What is the P-value?

d) Explain carefully what the P-value mean s in context.

e) What ‘s your conclusion?

f) Do environmental chemicals cause congenital abnormalities?

2. Educated mothers The National Center for Education Statistics monitors many aspects of elementary and secondary education nationwide. Their 1996 numbers are often used as a baseline to assess changes. In 1996, 31% of students reported that their mothers had graduated from college. In 2000, responses from 8368 students found that this figure had grown to 32%. Is this evidence of a change in education level among mothers?

a) Write appropriate hypotheses.

b) Check the assumptions and conditions.

c) Perform the test and find the P-value.

d) State your conclusion.

e) Do you think this difference is meaningful? Explain.
