Table 1. Kamehameha Educational Offerings.

The State of Hawai’i regulates the educational sector, driving the need to ensure Kamehameha follows the State’s strict security and regulatory requirements. Kamehameha’s leadership is also very concerned with the threat posed by the online theft of their unique intellectual property. Additionally, the number of Hawai’ian entities breached by threat actors is on the rise. Thus, security, privacy, and compliance are all important considerations for the Kamehameha network architecture.

Your boss, the Kamehameha Institute’s Chief Operating Officer (COO) has tasked you to design a network infrastructure for three facilities located in the Hawaiian Islands of Honolulu, Hilo, and Lihue. The COO stipulated that you must separate the three group offerings in Table 1 and provide for strengthened defenses to protect Kamehameha’s cultural heritage. After meeting with the COO, the two of you drafted the following set of requirements for your network design:

• Each of the facilities has three floors:
  • The first and second floor of each building requires 150 network connections each
  • The third floor of each building houses a data center and requires 75 network connections
  • The Honolulu location requires additional network connections for failover purposes

• The Hilo location will be the primary data center and house redundant database servers
• The Lihue location will serve as a failover data center and house the primary web servers (including the primary application and primary database servers)
• A constant connection between the three locations, carrying at least 75 Mbps of data
• All servers at all locations must have redundancy
• Protection from intrusions is required and should be documented
• A plan to verify security and failover measures is required
