1 Statement of Work: Building Network for New Office Nicholas Nance American Public University ITMG624 Dr. Mikell 11/26/2023

2 1.0 Planned Network Installation for Office This project aims to bring online a comprehensive and effective network infrastructure for the newly developed office site for Microsoft’s Northern Virginia headquarters (Cole, Martin, 2012). The project’s primary goals will be the design, allocation, and implementation of a secure yet scalable network that can meet the demands of the Microsoft workforce and ensure the security of the work being done. The network will serve Microsoft in the highest capacity following completion and eventual transfer of personnel from the old to the new site. 1.1 Background The undertaking of this project for Microsoft was driven by a need for expanded office space to match the growth the company has enjoyed over the past few years, accompanied by that is the need for robust, secure, and scalable networks to accommodate the transfer of the workforce (Cole, Martin, 2012). The movement of the workforce to a newly designed headquarters allows a chance for Microsoft to completely revamp the designed network from the ground up ensuring state-of-the-art security and a network that can respond to any demands and produce efficient speeds and connectivity. Because the office was planned to have a newly developed network Microsoft has been able to take notes and lessons learned from the existing network and plans to apply them during the project's lifecycle. The project serves as a responsive and efficient means for Microsoft to achieve multiple operational goals. 1.2 Scope of Work The scope of this project is a revolutionary, laser-focused analysis of the new office's physical layout. Once the physical layout is completed the project will take on the design and implantation of a sophisticated network topology that will utilize a combination of wired and wireless assets (Todd, 2009). Allocating resources will focus on identifying and gathering the

3 latest cutting-edge network hardware as well as ensuring the essential software licensing that aligns with Microsoft operating procedures in the day-to-day. Once the adequate resources have been secured, they will be installed along with pre-mapped and efficiently installed cabling systems to aid the wired portion of the topology, and the installation and security of advanced wireless access points and other assets built for the wireless portions (Todd, 2009). To fully realize the securement of the network the project shall entail the implementation of security protocols melded with the information technology systems within the building, backed by comprehensive documents that focus on training, troubleshooting shooting, and governance of the information technology environment of the office (Todd, 2009). 1.3 Objectives The project’s objectives for Microsoft are aimed to increase the technological juggernaut connectivity, communication capabilities, and overall work efficiency in the newly built headquarters (Cole, Martin, 2012). The project will seek to ensure the newly designed network has the scalability to meet any demands brought on by Microsoft from user and data standpoints and ensure all transactions, activity, and overall usage of the network remains the most secure environment in the digital world. Microsoft's status in the technology field and its dedication to innovation and growth spun the need for a network to match. In the cyber world, the ability to conduct the needed activities such as what is envisioned by Microsoft is one half of the puzzle, the network must remain secure for the success of these undertakings to remain feasible thus security is a frontrunner in the project to ensure no unauthorized accesses, and data theft remains a likelihood and is aligned with Microsoft’s dedication to information security (Todd, 2009). The project encompasses the installation of the network outside of this the filling of the office space with assets falls on Microsoft thus the network must be compatible with Microsoft’s existing
