9.2.1 Advantages of SONA:
‘The advantages of SONA are as follows :
1, Functionality
2, Performance
3. Availability ’
4, Efficiency
5, Security
6. Manageability
7. Scalability
Functionality :
It supports the requirements of organization.
Performance :
— The desired responsiveness, throughput and
utilization on a per application basis are provided
through the network infrastructure and services
Availability :
It provides the required reliable services anywhere,
.
an
Efficiency :
It offers the required network
infrastructure with reasonable operational costs and
suitable capital investment on a migration path to a
‘more intelligent network, through step-by-step
growth of network services.
services and
SONA provides security while protecting information
assets and infrastructure from inside and outside
threats.
Manageability :
Manageability offers control, performance monitoring
and fault detection in the network.
Scolability :
It supports growth and expansion of organizational
tasks, by dividing funetions and products into layers.
‘The network growth is easier due to this separation.
9.3 Network Design Methodology
The network design methodology is derived from the
Cisco Prepare, Plan, Design. Implement, Operate, and
Optimize (PPDIOO) methodology.
PPDIOO retlects a lifecycle of network.
9.3.1. Design as an Integral Part of the
PPDIOO Mothodology :
Fig, 9.3.1 illustrates the phases of PPDIOO and their
relation to the network design methodology.
wren (6-3026) Fig. 9.3.1 : PPDIOO Network Lifecycle
‘As shown in Fig. 9.3.2, the phases of PPDIOO lifecycle
are separate, yet closely related to each other.
Following are the three phases of PPDIOO:
1. Prepare phase
2. Plan phase
3. Design phase
Prepare phase :
_ The prepare phase involves establishment of the
business requirements, developing a network strategy
and proposing a high-level conceptual architecture,
identifying technologies which can support the
network architecture.
strategy is developed in order to assess the business
case for the [Link] architecture, financial
justification for the network.
Plan phase :
The main function of plan phase is to identify the
network requirements.
It identifies the network requirements based on the
goals for the network, where the network will be
installed, required network services and so forth.
~ This phase involves assessing the sites for installing
the network or any existing networks.
~ A gap analysis is performed by the plan phase to
determine the existing system infrastructure, sites,
‘and operational environment can support the
proposed system.

After planning of network requirements, the next
phase is design phase.

planned requirements.

during network analysis and network audit, when

These are basic design specifications for the
implementation activity.
Implement phase :
Implementation and verification starts after
approving the network design.
The implementation of network and any additional
components is done according to the design
specifications.
The goal of implement phase is to integrate devices
without disrupting the existing network or creating
points of vulnerability.
Operate phase
Operation is the final test of the correctness of
design. This phase maintains the network health
through day-to-day operations,
The network health includes maintaining high
availability and reducing expenses.
The reactive fault detection and correction as well as
performance monitoring takes place in daily

3. Optimize phase
‘The optimize phase is based on the management of
proactive network
The goal of this phase isto identify and resolve issues
before the real problems arise and affect the
organization
When proactive management cannot predict and
mitigate the failures, there is need of reactive fault
detection and correction (ie. troubleshooting).
= The optimize phase can lead to network redesign
because of the following reasons
1. If too many network problems or errors arises.
2. If performance does not meet expected
requirements.
3, If new applications are identified to support
‘organizational and technical requirements.
9.3.2 Advantages of Lifecycle Approach to
