Tony’s Chips Website Migration Project
Tony’s Chips is a medium sized company that wants to enhance its operations by using e- commerce or what some people would say the web or Internet. The new company has set its sights on moving the current system from an externally hosted website to one that is hosted internally. Furthermore, the site will be redesigned so that customers will be able to place orders through the website and have them delivered as before. The design of the new system will be able to provide more data storage, faster retrieval, better security features and recovery solutions in the event that the website has any problems. With the operational reliability of the existing system, this will make it easier to improve the new system.
The first part of the project goal is to discuss what it will take to build our Web architecture, then what will have to be done to move the existing Website with minimal downtime, and then provide a disaster recovery plan in the event that the website should crash or stop working.
First of all, we will need to purchase the hardware for the system, which consists of buying four Dell PowerEdge R620 servers that have 32 gigabytes (GB) of memory and 10 terabytes (TB) of storage space for each server. Two of the servers will be configured for web hosting, a primary and a backup, then one server will be configured for data storage and the last will be configured as an email server. Each server will have the preloaded software, which consists of Microsoft (MS) Windows Server 2012, MS Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1, Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux with several virtualization options so, if we wanted to create a virtual environment, rather than the actual version of an operating system. We already have an Internet Service Provider (ISP), but the only thing is that will need to
