Cycle

SDLC: Does it mean Systems Development

Life Cycle?

Typical systems are developed and

continue to exist over a period of time,
often called a systems development life
cycle (SDLC).

System Development Life

Cycle

The process of creating a new system or

changing an existing system is called a life
cycle

Life cycle: A new network is => Planned

-> Designed -> Implemented -> Maintained

Design Phase

Comprehensive, based on planning

outcomes.

The project team focuses on developing the

low -level design.

The team review the design and presents

the final low-level design to the customer
for acceptance .

Implementation Phase

Installation and configuration of new

equipment.

Build network according to design.

21

Operate Phase

Maintain network health.

Includes activities such as monitoring

automated alerts, responding to alerts ,
troubleshooting ,configuring hardware,
update system software and if needed
,replacing components.

Optimize Phase

Proactive network management;

modifications to the design .

After the network security solution is up

and running , it is important to keep it
functioning as efficiently as possible and
with high availability.
