Re: The Online Gaming Project

Warren,

I've been really busy getting a handle on how to bring gaming online. I've broken the project down with a five-week plan. The timing is pretty tight, but I think that I can bring this in on time and under budget. :-). Let me know what you think.

Weeks 1-2:

• Evaluate Hardware Requirements. Hardware is essential for system stability. Gaming requires rock solid stability.
• Meet with Systems People
• Bench Test Throughput

Weeks 3-4:

• Evaluate Software Requirements Installation and testing of gaming software as needed to offer the service. Once the hardware issues are resolved, software can be tested.
• Meet with Programmers
• Bench Test Gaming Software

Week 5:

• Evaluate Bandwidth Requirements and Prepare All Reports. Bandwidth is purchased from outside vendors. It is a simple process.
• Meet with Network People to Cost Necessary Bandwidth
• Prepare Report and Presentation
