[...] This allows users of different LANs to access the services and resources hosted in the cloud. The connection between the WAN and the cloud computing is established via a secure VPN network link. - The network protocols used will be the following: ? TCP/IP : this facilitates the routing of data packets through networks. The IP protocol contains addressing and control information to route packets through a network. It works in parallel with TCP. While it ensures delivery of packets to the right address, TCP aligns them in the right order. [...]
[...] Furthermore, this type of network allows new nodes to be easily added to the network by simply connecting them to the switch, which supports the logic of group expansion. Finally, star networks are considered more performant, as a message is transmitted only to the intended node. - Of a cloud computing infrastructure for data storage (datawarehouse) as this type of solution offers more powerful computing capabilities and allows for real-time cloud analytics. This solution offers immediate and almost unlimited storage, and it is easy to evolve it as storage needs increase. [...]
[...] Inventory management software, order tracking and delivery software, office suite. - Servers and network equipment: - Routers: Routers to connect the different networks of the company and provide access to the Internet. The routers have advanced security features (built-in firewall, VPN, content filtering) to protect the network against external threats. - Ethernet Switch: to connect the different network devices, such as servers, workstations, printers, etc. The switches must be able to provide reliable and fast network connectivity. - Security Equipment: Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) will be deployed to detect and prevent malicious activities on the network. [...]
[...] Here are the main advantages of Apache: - Free software, and everyone can get it for free. - The code is customizable and can be adapted to needs - Possibility to add features and modules to improve functions - High reliability and excellent performance - Immediate recording of modifications - Can be executed on all operating systems - Maintained and actively updated by a community - Very flexible Web server - Complete and useful documentation The following security measures will be applied: - SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate - it is a basic element of a website's security. [...]
[...] - Encryption : All sensitive data transmitted over the network is encrypted. (TLS/SSL protocol) Main connections and external links - MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) connections: high-speed connections between sites for efficient and secure network traffic. - Redundant Internet connections: each site has a primary and a backup Internet connection to ensure business continuity in case of failure. Web Architecture The goal of the new web architecture is to provide a stable and secure platform for Canard Dodu's e-commerce. The web architecture will be based on a microservices architecture as it is a flexible, evolutionary and secure approach for the development and management of an e-commerce site for a SME. [...]
