CSCI321 : IT2/1A : Physical Network Aid Mr Ee Kiam Keong Lim Willie, Chua Shui Li Tan Yong Meng Shirley Chin Noraizah Naftalia

Team Chart

Based on the given descriptions on the project outline and some interactions with Mr. Ee, we break our researches into three main area, 1. Network packet analyzer 2. Network management system 3. Network virtualization Market Researches

1. Network packet analyzer Wire Shark is an open source product that offer network packet analyzing 2. Network management system Nmap is an open source product that offer network exploration 3. Network management system ManageEngine OPManager is a proprietary product that managed owned networked IT devices on monitor, configuration and fault reporting. It provide basic GUI network virtualization. Market Researches

4. Network management system Huawei iManager U2000 is a proprietary product that managed owned networked IT devices on monitor, configuration and fault reporting. It provide basic GUI network virtualization. 5. Network management system StableNet is a proprietary product that managed owned networked IT devices on monitor, configuration and fault reporting. It provide basic GUI network virtualization. 6. Network management system Hitachi IT operation analyzer is GUI network virtualization. It also provide monitoring and fault reporting on owned network IT devices. Market Researches

Common features available, 1. Physical hardware information 2. Software information 3. Network information 4. Storage for the information 5. Warn/Alert feature Weak or missing feature, 1. GUI presentation 2. Profile management for specific environment. Conclusion from the researches

Features 1. Intelligent Network Discovery 2. Automated Network Visualization Mapping 3. Network Visualization Mapping Manipulation 4. Device Information Extraction 5. Smart Network Monitoring 6. Network Profile Management 7. Network Information Management Optional feature 1. Fault Reporting or Alerting Project Scope

Targeted Users 1. Wide range from home user to organization IT system administrator General Purpose 1. Network audit, checking for anonymous users. Specific Purpose 1. Network monitoring of networked device availability 2. Network alert of networked device failure 3. General reporting of the device monitored Advantage 1. Profile customization for specific environment. Project Value

Waterfall model Advantages 1. Waterfall is selected, due to clear and well defined scopes approved by end user. 2. Less complicated model, due to it single point of entry and exit on each phases. Disadvantages 1. Very hard to handle changes. Project Methodology

Programming Language Java and C C is used mainly for the information extraction. Java is used mainly for the GUI presentation. Both are multi-platform, open source and have a rich system library to utilities Java is selected due to CSCI213, Java Programming and Object Oriented Design. C is selected due to CSCI114, CSCI124, CSCI204. There is some exposure on similar languages. Project Development and Deployment Platform

Operating System Microsoft It is selected due to the huge market potential on the OS user research. Relational Database Management System MySQL It is selected due to its multi-platform and open source product. Project Development and Deployment Platform

Architecture Standalone It is selected for the product wishing penetrate into a wide range of target user. This will allow more flexibility on the product marketing. Project Deployment Architecture and Environment

The following risks are identified and possible solutions are brainstormed and finalized. Risks 1. Topic understanding 2. Design of the product 3. Development of the product 4. Report preparation 5. Poor communication 6. Poor tasks delivery Project Risks

Solutions 1. Regular meeting with the team members for efficient communication and progress update. Targeted meeting is once a week. 2. Regular meeting with supervisor for increment mile stone progress. Targeted meeting is once a fortnight. 3. Clear task and role delegation out front before the project. 4. Intense researches conducted to minimum risk exposure. Project Risks
