OverviewIn this milestone, you will explain the concepts of virtualization based on the business scenario provided. This milestone will prepare you for your Project One that is due in Module Five. If you have questions or want to share ideas about this project, please post them to the General Questions discussion.ScenarioThe company you work for, Packages Plus Delivery (PPD), currently houses its physical computing environments on site. Packages Plus Delivery is growing, including the number of packages delivered and the number of employees hired each quarter. As a result of this growth and to better meet the needs of the clients, organizational leadership recently made the decision to virtualize all computing environments.Leadership is deciding between internal virtualization and the use of an external vendor. They are also considering a move to cloud-based architecture but want to know more about the risks and cost benefits of moving to a cloud environment.As a virtual solutions analyst at Packages Plus Delivery, you serve on the Virtualization Transition Committee. This group has been asked to create a presentation that emphasizes how the decision to move to virtualization will improve business strategy, and what the options are if the company considers moving the infrastructure to a cloud environment. Your presentation will ensure that leadership makes an informed decision.PromptYou have been asked to create a presentation that supports the company’s decision to move to virtualization. Within the presentation, you must address each of the following critical elements:Describe how the company’s decision to move to a virtual computing environment will impact its business strategy. If you use sources, be sure to provide a citation.You must include:The benefits of your company’s decision to move to a virtual computing environmentThe constraints of the decision to move to a virtual computing environmentAn explanation of how moving to virtualization will impact the scalability of the businessThe costs of moving to virtualizationThe hardware and software, and other technologies involvedIn order to provide the most detailed information, you need to compare the implications of the organization moving to a virtual environment using its hardware servers in-house with the implications of using a third-party vendor to virtualize. You may create a visual (such as a Venn diagram) or write a passage to explain these concepts. You will need to compare the following factors and describe the advantages, disadvantages, and risks associated with each:Cost: equipment such as hardware and software, maintenance (e.g., upgrades and backups), licensing, security (e.g., shared responsibility, on premises)CapacityAgilityService availabilityGuidelines for SubmissionYour submission should be a presentation file (.ppt, PDF, .doc).Your presentation must include:The evidence that supports your company’s decision to move to virtualizationA comparison of creating a virtual environment in-house to using an external vendor

Part 1 Question 1: Manuscripts of the Early Middle AgesBefore the invention of the printing press, books were copied by hand one at a time by illuminators, and the vellum was often embellished with beautiful calligraphy and intricate patterns and designs.Using your course textbook locate three examples of illuminated manuscripts from the early Middle Ages. Read about each one in your textbook, course lectures, and through reliable internet resourcesFirst, completely identify each manuscript and/or manuscript page by title, date, and location where it was created.In a minimum of 2 well-developed paragraphs address the following questions:Who commissioned the creation of the manuscript? Why?What was the purpose of the manuscript?How do the visual characteristics of each manuscript contribute to or enhance its message or meaning?How do the reasons these manuscripts were created compare with religious texts created today?Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific details about each manuscript.Question 2: Romanesque and Gothic CathedralsBoth Romanesque and Gothic architecture displayed distinctive characteristics and features. For this assignment, select one example of Romanesque church architecture and one example of Gothic church architecture from your course textbook. Read about each one in your textbook, course lectures, and through reliable internet resources.First, completely identify the two cathedrals you have selected by name, date, and location.Then, in a minimum of 3 well-developed paragraphs, address the following questions:What architectural details are evident in each cathedral that make it representative of either the Romanesque or Gothic style?What sort of decoration (interior and exterior) was employed in each cathedral? What was the meaning of the sculptures, paintings, windows that adorned each cathedral?What was the visitor or viewer experience in each cathedral?Part 2Travel Journal to Points of Interest from the Early Middle Ages, Romanesque, and Gothic WorldsTravel, whether it was to the Middle East to fight in the Crusades or on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, was an activity that shaped the Middle Ages.For this assignment, put yourself in the place of a person living during Middle Ages who traveled throughout Europe. Select a total of six representative pieces of art or architecture that date from this period in history. You should have 2 examples from each of the time periods in the Middle Ages: two examples from the Early Middle ages, two that represent the Romanesque, and two that represent Gothic art. Each example should reflect the essential characteristics of its time period. Your objects need to date between 400 CE and 1300 CE—the time span that encompasses the Early Middle Ages, Romanesque, and Gothic periods.When you return from your travels, prepare a journal that includes the following information for each of your six representative works of art:A photograph of the objectIdentifying information:Name of the artist (if available)Title of the workDate of the workMedium/materials used to create the workThen, write a paragraph of 4-6 sentences that:Describes the visual characteristics that makes the object representative of its stylePlaces the work within its social and historical context and explains why it is culturally significantFinally, in a well-developed paragraph of 6-8 sentences, summarize what you have learned from your travels, highlighting key similarities and distinctions between the six objects you selected for discussion
