Unit 7 instructions

Instructions

Prepare a two-page case study that addresses the following components. Be sure to provide headings for Part I, Part II, Summary, and References.

Part I

• You have been tasked with recommending environmental and physical controls for a new data center to be built at your school. You are expected to present a report to the chief information officer. Part I of your case study should be a synopsis of the importance of data center physical and environmental security.

Part II

• Part II of your case study should address three areas: location, perimeter security, and power.
• Location recommendations should include where the data center should be built and a description of the security of the surrounding area (for example, location-based threats including political stability, susceptibility to terrorism, the crime rate, adjacent buildings, roadways, pedestrian traffic, flight paths, utility stability, and vulnerability to natural disasters).
• Access control recommendations should address who will be allowed in the building and how they will be identified and monitored.
• Power recommendations should take into account power consumption as well as normal and emergency operating conditions.
• Determine who is responsible for each of the areas: location, perimeter security, and power.

Summary

• Summarize the findings of Part I and Part II.

References

• Your paper should be in proper APA format. At a minimum, use your textbook as a resource for this assignment and include it on your reference page.
