Introduction and

conclusion

18 to 20 points

The introduction is succinct and

embodies the project’s primary

objectives and outcomes. The

introduction constructs the purpose

of the system. A compelling and

justifiable conclusion is developed

that supports the key outcomes,

managerial implications, and

limitations of the design. More

than 5 scholarly sources and 500

words combined.

17 points

The introduction and conclusion are

succinct and embody most of the

project’s primary objectives and

outcomes, and/or the introduction

constructs an unclear purpose of the

system and/or a justified conclusion

is developed that supports the key

outcomes, managerial implications,

and limitations of the design.

Minimum of 5 scholarly sources

and 500 words.

1 to 16 points

The introduction and/or conclusion are

generalized and embody some of the

project’s primary objectives,

managerial implications, design

limitations, and outcomes and/or has

less than the minimum of 5 scholarly

sources and 500 words and/or is not

defensible.

present

Literature review

37 to 40 points

Explanations of the design running

configurations show mastery of

each concept. The review of

literature is related to the primary

problems of the re-design. It

thoroughly addresses system

feasibility, performance, RAS

(reliability, availability,

serviceability), security, and

disaster recovery. Premier

scholarly journal articles support

the design by comparing,

contrasting, and outlining proper

standards and objective research

results necessary to improve the

system. Over 1,000 words and 10

unique scholarly journal articles

that are relevant to the

infrastructure model. Router and

switch running configurations

included in appendices.

34 to 36 points

Explanations of the design running

configurations show comprehension

of each concept. The review of

literature is mostly related to the

primary problems of the re-design

and/or it addresses system

feasibility, performance, RAS

(reliability, availability,

serviceability), security, and disaster

recovery and/or it uses scholarly

journal articles detailing the

research and outcomes of the

research, comparing, contrasting,

and outlining proper standards and

objective research results necessary

to improve the system and/or

includes a minimum of 1,000 words

and/or 8 unique scholarly journal

articles that are relevant to the

infrastructure model. Router and

switch running configurations

included in appendices.

1 to 33 points

Explanations of the design running

configurations show partial

comprehension of each concept and/or

the review of literature is not directly

related to the primary problems of the

re-design and/or it does not address

system feasibility, performance, RAS

(reliability, availability,

serviceability), security, and disaster

recovery sufficiently and/or it uses

inadequate scholarly journal articles

detailing the research and outcomes of

the research, comparing, contrasting,

and outlining proper standards and

objective research results necessary to

improve the system and/or does not

include a minimum of 1,000 words

and/or 8 unique scholarly journal

articles that are relevant to the

infrastructure model. Router and

switch running configurations

included in appendices.

IT Infrastructure Design

74 to 80 points

Excellent architectural design that

is fully functional and properly

addresses security, modularity,

resiliency, and flexibility given

modern industry best practices,

research, and standards for IT

infrastructure. All functionality is

operational that meets each of the

project instruction requirements

including a supported network

design for 1,000+ nodes, IP

addressing, NAT, ISP design,

DNS, DHCP, and web services.

External and internal workstations

can connect to all services

appropriately but are denied access

to services they should not have

access given their role. Proper

networking protocols are

functional and designed properly

for a medium-sized network as

defined by the project instructions.

67 to 73 points

Sufficient architectural design that

is functional and properly addresses

security, modularity, resiliency, and

flexibility given modern industry

best practices, research, and

standards for IT infrastructure

and/or over 80% of the required

functionality is operational that

meets each of the project instruction

requirements including a supported

network design for 1,000+ nodes, IP

addressing, NAT, ISP design, DNS,

DHCP, and web services. External

and internal workstations can

connect to over 80% of the required

services appropriately but are

denied access to services they

should not have access given their

role. Proper networking protocols

are functional and designed properly

for a medium-sized network as

defined by the project instructions.

1 to 66 points

Architectural design that is partially

functional and/or partially addresses

security, modularity, resiliency, and

flexibility given modern industry best

practices, research, and standards for

IT infrastructure and/or less than 80%

of the required functionality is

operational that meets each of the

project instruction requirements

including a supported network design

for 1,000+ nodes, IP addressing, NAT,

ISP design, DNS, DHCP, and web

services and/or external and internal

workstations can connect to less than

80% of the required services

appropriately and/or are not denied

access to services they should not

have access given their role and/or

proper networking protocols are

partially functional and/or not

designed properly for a medium-sized

network as defined by the project

instructions.
