Well, I tought all over and came to a decision , that I take part! :) Now I need to know what is it all about IT. In the description it is written databases, networks, servers. I don't understand what does they mean by this: areas of analysis and decision making in IT environments??

So, if you're so kind... answer me where do you learn out and study? Which books do you read and so on? Or you just use google and stare at the monitor till the night falls? :)

This is my second time to join IC but my first time to join the IT invitational, we always join short film. I would like to ask any of you what to expect in this invitational.

You are expected to know of networking and network infrastructure here.

Umm, yeah I've registered too, but have no idea what to do. I guess we have to propose the system architecture and which tools to use for a given scenario ... but its just a guess, no idea on what its officially about.

Last year it was something like that.

There's this scenario that you have to analyze and decide what's best for that.

jasin14: Would you writte more (if you know) about the last year IT competition? What was the scenario? What was the solution?

Well, the scenario is pretty broad.

Basically, a multinational company wants to set up some redundant, robust networking infrastructure with a good security policy, etc etc.

Specifications are outlined - like what types of applications (web) and what they need to run - databases. Other things might be like, 10000 users in one place, and 20000 in another - and each needs different things but share some things. Things like, one office might use a dialup connection that's really flakey and another uses a dedicated T1 - how do you make sure there's no data loss? Some offices in this scenario might have mobile users - so outline a good security policy and methods to prevent viruses and worms from propagating - using ISA :-)

The entire scenario was pretty long - so there were pretty much many ways to interpret some things.

I am a new member to this messaging system!so regarding your reply to those guy's messages, you just have 2 specify what type of networks should be done,what type of servers should be set-up etc...?
