Executive Overview
The INS Group performed an assessment/audit of The Detroit Zoological Society’s IT infrastructure from physical through application layer with three goals in mind:
· To further understand and quantify the DZS’s current level of technical infrastructure
· To recommend changes to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of IT services with
particular focus on optimizing onsite infrastructure and services already paid for.
· To recommend changes to IT governance (planning, prioritization, assessment and
decision-making) to improve the DZS’s collective ability to manage its investment in
technology.
The information presented in this report reveals what was found, its impact on DZS operations and our recommended remediation for improved service levels and employee productivity. Our report presents high-level areas of concern and/or modernization opportunities which include hardware and software that may have become obsolete or have exceeded important lifecycle milestones (end-of-sale, end of life, end of support, deployment inconsistencies and possible security vulnerabilities).
This report provides accurate analysis and guidance on standardization and future milestones which may impact hardware and software deployments. Specific information is also included for the areas outlined below:

The INS Group provided advanced network engineering services for WLAN Mesh, WAN, LAN and security Architecture and design development and deployment. This was a PoC project to validate the feasibility both technically and financially to deploy ubiquitous wireless mesh infrastructure throughout a small community. With the ultimate goal to deploy a wireless mesh backbone throughout Oakland County Michigan that would be available to local businesses and the public. Following is the PoC scope for this project:
WLAN & PtP Wireless Bridge Deployment:
1. Deploy RAP (root access point) and seven MAP’s (mesh access point) on telephone poles in a neighborhood near the Top of Troy building.
2. Configure and deploy PtP high bandwidth Cisco 1410 wireless bridges. One side of the bridge is connected with a 100 mg Ethernet connection to the mesh RAP both mounted on a telephone pole. The other side of the bridge is mounted on a mast on the Top of Troy building.
3. Configure and deploy PtP high bandwidth long distance (11 miles) Proxim wireless bridges. One side of the bridge is mounted on a mast on top of the Pontiac Oakland Town Center (17 story bldg), the other side is mounted on a mast on the Top of Troy (25 story bldg).
4. Configure and deploy PtP high bandwidth (1200 feet) Cisco 1410 wireless bridges. One side of the bridge is mounted on a mast on top of the Pontiac Oakland Town Center (17 story bldg), the other side (Cisco 1410 wireless bridge) is mounted on a mast on the MichTel building.
The INS Group competely setup, configured, tested and validated all aspects of this network as seen in the two diagrams on this page.
