Executive Summary
In a bid to understand the network infrastructure, topology, and implementation at Fareportal, the team conducted a thorough survey of the existing systems and made findings that would be useful to the organization. The intention of the survey was to enable the team to perform an audit of the system, to identify the issues with the current implementation, and to eliminate the issues that may exist with the system. The survey team took at least four hours at each of the company locations, and later eight hours after each survey to review the logical systems such as the configurations and the routing and switching protocols.
After the survey on the IT infrastructure of the company, the survey team made a number of observations on the current systems and compared the findings to the best practices to establish a way forward. The analysis led the team to arrive at a number of recommendations for the company’s local area networks in each of the surveyed branches as well as the wide area network, which mainly employs the MPLS system. The aim of making the recommendations was to enable the company finds solutions that would reduce the system outages, improve the reliability of the network, and increase the redundancy options.
There are a number of recommendations that were made for each of the locations and for the entire company. The first one is to replace some of the switches that are near their end-of-life with new, reliable ones that can perform modern switching operations. Secondly, there is need to deploy IPv6 protocol alongside the IPv4 at the New York branch. Third, there is a need for more bandwidth especially for the connections that serve the multinational locations through the MPLS network, and these also need to deploy at least two circuits per link to ensure redundancy. Fourth, there is a need to replace the edge routers and switches with the Cisco switches and routers which are more reliable. Fifth, there is a need for the implementation of various routing protocols such as BGP at the boundaries of the network, and OSPF for the local routing and switching needs. Sixth, there is a need for the company to enhance the security system, especially in terms of internet connectivity, by using the FORTINET firewalls in place of the existing ones. In the future, the company should consider replacing the Tata MPLS system with one that offers two-wave connectivity, which would be useful in connecting the New York hub as well as the Dallas hub to Pune, India.
