AAA Financial Services Company is performing implementation planning for a core switch
upgrade. The company has 200 financial software programmers that work billable hours
during the week. They have critical, scheduled money transfer transmissions that occur at
hourly intervals every night. There are two, two-hour long IT maintenance windows
scheduled for software upgrades, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. The bank advertises
online banking as available 24 hours on business days and 21 hours on the weekends.
However, a network upgrade that is necessary to replace some switches is expected to take
four hours. Because of rack constraints, this time includes three hours to remove the old
switches before the new switches can be installed and one hour to test the logical
configuration. How should the implementation scheduling be handled?

Coordinate and publish an eight-hour downtime incorporating the Saturday window. This
will allow four hours for installation and logical testing, one hour for troubleshooting and
decision, and three hours to roll back to the previous configuration if the new switching
cannot pass the logical testing. Defer any software upgrades until the new network is
proven to be working correctly with the old software.
