Description

Scenario

Acme Toys, Inc. is a leading toy manufacturer. As part of its expansion plan, it purchased a new building for its headquarters, which will house all the departments of the company. Apart from the usual departments, such as marketing, sales (with telemarketing capability), accounting, and IT, the building will also house the R&D, manufacturing, and distribution departments.

The company wants to set up a network to enable employees to communicate and share resources. The company requires workstations and server computers. The servers should provide support for:

A multiuser environment

Multiple processors

  • Various types of applications
  • High security
  • High memory requirements
  • In addition, the network should be able to support high-level, multiuser applications that will run simultaneously. The profiles of employees range from a sales executive who is not computer savvy to IT professionals and people in the R&D department who are technology savvy. Due to the diverse user profiles, the company also needs to consider the ease of use of the OS.
  • The IT department is in the process of designing the processing requirements of computers. Although the entire company will be networked, a separate network is required for the R&D department because of security reasons. In addition, the manufacturing department plans to expand its network within the next six months by fifty percent.

As a member of the IT team, you need to recommend the best OSs for workstations and servers on the network. You need to consider the ease of use of various OSs based on user profiles. Your report must provide a rationale for the proposed OS and compatibility issues, if any, if you propose using multiple OSs.

Part 1—Identifying Network Requirements and OS Implementation

Using the South University Online library and the Internet, research various OSs.

Based on your research, create a report in a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document to complete the following tasks:

Identify and describe in detail the requirements for Acme Toys Inc. Make sure that you include the different requirements for workstations and servers.

Identify the requirements an OS and architecture implementation must address. Include details about hardware, software, security, memory, and different types of users. Discuss resource needs to be managed by the OS, architecture, distributed operated systems, whether there is a need for a GUI, and windowing.

IDENTIFYING NETWORK REQUIREMENTS AND OS IMPLEMENTATION

Part One
Network Requirements for the Company and Operating System Implementation
The organization when considering the best operating system should put consideration on
the number of layers and the set protocols. this calls for a critical look at the architecture on all
the elements associated with the network as well as the protocols in it. Notably, the toys
company is a huge organization involving different offices framing a system in a similar
structure. In this way, its system engineering would clearly be point by point to help the
association framework; which would result in an unpredictable system design. It’s a requirement
that the system should contain enough information so that charged with the implementation so
that the implementer can have a suitable working system that conveys messages during each
level with the sole objective of effectively complying with the set protocols
(Davie&Peterson,2019).
The various layers have the following: the company has both clients and IT experts,
subsequently, the layers of the system design, and this means that they should have various
interfaces and levels of reflection. Additionally, all conventions and programming used for every
layer ought to have the option of interfacing with the other layer. For instance, this can be
achieved when the layer below can interpret for the layer above. Also, the layers on the
workstations should contain special conventions that help the GUI-based interfaces for the
person using the computer as it enables windowing. Then agai...
