Reggie A. Conner Professor Stan Buch CIS 210 Term Paper 09/09/2012 Abstract In this paper I will assume a new company has hired me to manage a project that will move the old Website from an externally hosted solution to an internal one. The company’s leadership is very concerned about redundancy for their site, insisting that a back-up site be available as a failover in case the main site goes down. In addition, they want the site redesigned to allow customers to order products online.As part of my job, I must complete a 10-to-15 page paper that follows this project through the system development life cycle (SDLC). This assignment will require I to do the following: * Discuss what it will take to build a Web architecture, move an existing Website with minimal downtime, and provide a disaster recovery solution to ensure the site is always available. * * The Web architecture should describe and justify operating system choices (i. e. , Linux, Apache, MYSQL, PHP, Windows, IIS, SQL, etc. ). Evaluate alternatives to the company self-hosting the site.
