Question 1 Grade Average= (67.4 + 86.4 + 79.2 + 80 + 68.2) / 5 = 76.24 Question Score= (0.15 * 76.24) = 12 Question 2 Grade Score= 55% Question Score= (0.10 * 55) = 5.5 Question 3 A VPN (virtual private network) is a way of creating a secure connection over the public internet say from a teleworkers province, to their employer’s headquarters. The user is authenticated and the sensitive data being sent through the VPN tunnel is encrypted. This therefore makes using VPN over the internet, similar to having a dedicated layer 2 leased line. Cisco SSL (Secure Socket Layers) is used to encrypt the data before it is sent through the VPN tunnel. It uses a variety of algorithms to provide authenticity and integrity of the data, and uses session keys.
These three stores will need a cable or DSL set up so there internet is always on for better customer service, faster performance and faster response time or in another words a T1line which the speed will increase to 1.544 Mbps. Traffic analysis which is used for network detection and intrusions from outside sources, and is done by command lines tools which will provide information about the network latency. Nagios will be used to identify any
Reasons & Advantages The existing structure was increasing competition between Roche and Genentech as the product of the two companies were coming in direct competition with each other in multiple markets especially in US The existing ownership and operating model gave Roche little opportunities to address the increasing the overlap and duplication between these two firms (for example R&D work) The product licensing agreement between Roche and Genentech was set to expire in 2015. With the expiry of this agreement Roche will lose the right to develop and commercialize products of Roche which were major source of revenue for Roche After the expiry of the licensing agreement of product licensing agreement between Roche and Genentech a new arm’s length agreement would have to be negotiated where the product pipeline could be sold to the highest bidder Due to existing shareholding structure, in order to protect the rights of minority shareholders, Roche could not get access to intellectual property of Genentech High growth of biotechnology sector Not much innovation in Pharma sector which was leading to acquisition by larger companies leading to consolidation of industry Acquisition of Genentech will help Roche generate cost synergies of 60% of $750-850 Million by cutting costs and streamlining Genentech had large chunk of Cash ($ 9.5 Billion) which Roche could not access to ownership structure. The acquisition will provide a Roche access to this cash. Risks Possibility of Genentech’s scientists leaving the company due to the fear of loss of independence and entrepreneurial spirit of Genentech after acquisition by Roche Threat of potential intellectual property going out
