Project Map

Overview

Eurofins Scientific is a bioanalytical service provider. We are a group of laboratories that conduct testing of Food, Vitamin, Feed and Animal Health products. Eurofins does everything from testing for salmonella in chickens to creating the nutritional labels you see on the side of a can of corn. Eurofins Scientific is an international company with 5000 employees across 90 sites in 24 countries.

Eurofins has multiple locations in the US that need to stay connected at all times via the internet. Eurofins has 1 main Datacenter in the U.S. which is located in Des Moines, Iowa. All sites must maintain a secure network connection to this site (Des Moines - Thornton Office) in order to receive Email, Active Directory Updates, or to use the Verizon international WAN gateway to access France, Germany, China, Brussels, Ireland, or the U.K.

Project Approach

A. Route

The Route adopted for completion of this project is a start-to-finish route. This means that the final product would be delivered and installed at a time, instead of phases. The product would then be tested on site for a span of time to check its performance.

B. Deliverables

The deliverables include the system with the necessary documentation of he project as well as manuals for the new system.

Also the project would be installed and the staff responsible for using and maintaining the software would be given adequate training on how to use and maintain the system.

Project Life Cycle Phases

Below are the phases of the life cycle:

Ð'* Planning Phase

Ð'* Design Phase

Ð'* Iterative Code/Test/Release Phases

Ð'* Production Phase

Ð'* Post Mortem

Planning Phase

The Vision of this project is to avoid incidents of outage, by adding redundant and low cost backup connections to each site. This is the short term strategy going to be adopted in order to solve the problem.

The Scope of the project is going to be totally internal with no external vendors being hired for the purpose. All programming of the new routers will be handled by Eurofins Scientific employees. There is going to be no scope for any type of outsourcing in the project.

Apart from that it is mandatory that all hardware must be Cisco compliant. The project will culminate with the installation f the new system.

Deliverables

 Functional Specification

 Risk Assessment

Design Phase

This phase specifies exactly the components needed to deliver all items in the functional specification. Our design methodology includes a 3-tier design:

1. Installation Phase Ð'- The Cisco Router(s) will be installed in this phase. Apart from that all the hardware installations as well as required software will be installed.

2. Configuration Phase Ð'- The hardware installed will be configured to ensure that it meets the requirements of the company.

3. Testing Phase Ð'- This phase is going to ensure that the configuration has taken place properly. This is going to be quite detailed and a dry run would be carried out before the actual implementation.
