Description

Throughout this course, you will be working on a Key Assignment that is based on several aspects of virtualization technology that will result in a complete virtual technology implementation plan for a case study organization. 
Virtual technology allows an organization to take advantage of flexible computer system infrastructures that combine and extend physical systems. Virtual technology provides unique opportunities to layer systems and offer services to users in unique ways that help organizations reach their business goals. Each week, you will complete a part of the virtual technology implementation plan with the final draft that is due at the end of the course.

Your Key Assignment will be based on a fictional organization called TriState Solar Group (TSG). Please read this 

problem-based scenario
 information on TSG, and refer to it for all of your assignments for this class.

You will apply your research to the analysis and development of a virtual technology implementation plan that would be appropriate for the organization and the needs that it has for its systems. Additional information and the deliverables for each Individual Project will be provided in the assignment description for the project. This is the course Key Assignment that you will make contributions to each week.

The first step will be to define the issues that you find with the current TSG corporate environment. The issues defined should be nontrivial, demonstrate domain knowledge, and reflect the research done in the Discussion Board.
