Functional Requirements Document project objective

NW FW new implementation

Network firewall project will implement a physical on-premise or cloud firewall to fulfill the business requirements. The project’s achievement is to create a robust and resilient network infrastructure that can withstand failures, disruptions, and cyber threats, ensuring continuous availability and seamless operation of critical network services and applications. Until the business decides differently, we recommend using professional products that can be monitored and managed via a secure online platform offering numerous benefits, including improved efficiency, accessibility, security, and scalability, ultimately contributing to better performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

Network firewall greenfield project implementation approach:

As this is a greenfield network firewall implementation project, this involves setting up a brand new network firewall infrastructure from scratch, typically in a new environment, as part of a network expansion or redesign. As each business is individual, we will align the requirements and propose a solution during the analysis phase of the project, as well as the hardware, software, and options that best fit the requirements. Depending on the business requirements, a firewall might be a combo box providing additional features like incorporated Wi-Fi that can be stacked in the network/during the building. 

Network firewall greenfield project in-scope activities:

  • On-site inspection (if necessary)
  • Create complete documentation
  • Define firewall rules, routing, and additional configurations depending on the chosen options
  • Installation in a rack and connection to the network switches (racking and stacking)
  • Connection to the internet connection, internet connection configuration
  • Perform configurations
  • Implement firewall rules and settings
  • Testing
  • Fine-tuning – adjust settings based on pilot results
  • Implement support and monitoring

Network firewall project Hardware and software requirements: 

Will be assessed and defined during the analysis phase of this project.

Network firewall project pre-requirements:

  • Free rack space and free ports in the switch
  • Internet connection details
  • Base network services details (if any is, to be configured on the firewall)
