ICTTEN825 — Investigate applications of cloud networks in network switching

1 Evaluate existing physical network infrastructure

• 1.1Analyse scalability, functionality, cost, security and energy consumption of existing physical network infrastructure
• 1.2Report on shortfalls and risks of existing physical infrastructure in accommodating network growth and increased functionality
• 1.3Investigate capacity and functionality shortfalls of existing physical infrastructure to highlight limitations of the existing switching network
• 1.4Document estimated costs and issues associated with meeting capacity and functionality shortfalls using existing physical infrastructure

2 Investigate the application of cloud networks

• 2.1Analyse trends in cloud networks (infrastructure-as-a-service), technologies and multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) architectures against rapid changes in the landscape
• 2.2Determine applicability of cloud networks (infrastructure-as-a-service) to meet capacity and functionality requirements of the network
• 2.3Assess risks in using cloud networks to meet capacity and functionality requirements of the network
• 2.4Evaluate a range of cloud network solutions and justify selection of an optimum network switching solution
• 2.5Develop solution elements using a series of small project elements
• 2.6Produce a cloud network alternative solution to emulate the existing core network of a service provider

3 Analyse the impact of the cloud network solution for system integration and across business domains

• 3.1Prepare a plan for organisational change control processes and integration of cloud network solutions within a complete network infrastructure
• 3.2Prepare a test scenario and produce a test management schedule for the testing process of system elements and interfaces using simulation
• 3.3Use integration document software to replicate issues exhibited in test environment
• 3.4Certify cloud network solution compatibility and compliance to requirements using the web-based test management tool (quality centre) to conduct performance evaluation tests
• 3.5Analyse test reports to evaluate load balancing and network security issues in test environment
• 3.6Document and resolve conflicts detected in simulation testing

4 Develop a business case for implementation of a cloud network

• 4.1Prepare a cost-benefit analysis of the cloud network solution as a business case to evaluate the return on investment (RoI)
• 4.2Investigate staging of the solution and timing implementation of project elements as a scenario for real life implementation
• 4.3Research and report on key features of cloud network implementation in a business case study

What does an assessment tool for ICTTEN825 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTTEN825 needs to address all 53 unit components: 4 elements with 19 performance criteria, 11 performance evidence requirements, 18 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for ICTTEN825?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTTEN825 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for ICTTEN825 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTTEN825 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of ICTTEN825, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
