Instructions

You have been recently promoted to IT manager and have been asked to analyze the current software and storage. Then you will need to present to the CIO the various software available as described below. You will also need to present to the CIO information about the progression of storage devices, new developments in storage devices, and how productivity is related to storage devices, along with how storage devices impact users.

Part 1

Read the following brief descriptions of software. Write 1–2 pages identifying the software by name, a detailed definition, and description.

Copyrighted software that is distributed at no cost for a trial period. After the trial period, the user is billed automatically.

Software provided for use, modification, and redistribution. There are no restrictions from the copyright holder. It is usually downloaded at no cost. The draw is that users can share improvements and personalize the software to meet their needs.

This software is an application that enables designers to create high-quality professional publications with text and graphics. Business users might use it for annual reports, marketing, and newsletters. Personal users might produce flyers, calendars, and business papers.

This technology uses radio signals to transmit with a tag in or attached to an object, animal, or even person. They are often used in retail, inventory, tickets, or to access monitored environments.

This code stores information in a vertical and horizontal direction. It stores information that requires a reader for interpretation that interacts with a Web site.

Part 2

Using research from the resources, the Capella Library, or the Internet, write 1–2 pages in which you describe the chronological progression of storage devices. Include:

Instances that spurred new development.

The effect on productivity and storage practices.

The impact on users in a professional environment.

Compare and contrast two difference cloud computing services (Amazon Web Service and Microsoft Azure). Explain the differences and the similarities and select your choice of providers if you had to make the decision for your business. Write up a comparison on the services offered (2 pages maximum). 

These two links may offer some additional information for this assignment but you are encouraged to use additional sources for your project/assignment.

Please find the help doc for the info.

After completing the reading this week, please review table 1.2 in the text and review the distinction between leadership and management.  Then think about this in regard to how senior leaders versus senior managers lead change in an organization (especially when it comes to technical change in an organization).

This week please reflect on these concepts and answer the following questions:

1. When implementing change in an organization, there are always cultural issues that are faced, such as not accepting change, determine how differently this would be handled thinking about the management versus leadership constructs?
2. When dealing with performing work, how is this implemented differently within the management versus leadership constructs?

Create a Disaster Recovery Plan for either the organization they work for or one they wish to work for in the future.  The plan will follow the template/example provided.

 Should request prior authorization of company to be addressed to ensure that all students are working on unique companies.

**Even though this is a technical document, for academic purposes, all sources should be cited and referenced.

Portfolio assignment will be due the end of Week 15.

***Yout may modify some of the sections per the company they have selected but all students will need to complete a DR Plan for the Portfolio Requirement. 

****SafeAssign should be turned on and reviewed since it will flag a lot of the common elements but we want to make sure the students are writing the content from scratch.

Compare and evaluate in 500 words or more qualitative v quantitative risk assessment.

For this project, select an organization that has leveraged Cloud Computing technologies in an attempt to improve profitability or to give them a competitive advantage. Research the organization to understand the challenges that they faced and how they intended to use Cloud Computing to overcome their challenges. The paper should include the following sections each called out with a header.

• Company Overview: The      section should include the company name, the industry they are in and a      general overview of the organization.
• Challenges: Discuss the      challenges the organization had that limited their profitability and/or      competitiveness and how they planned to leverage Cloud Computing to      overcome their challenges.
• Solution: Describe the      organization’s Cloud Computing implementation and the benefits they      realized from the implementation. What was the result of implementing      Cloud Computing? Did they meet their objectives for fall short?
• Conclusion: Summarize the      most important ideas from the paper and also make recommendations or how      they might have achieved even greater success.

The paper must adhere to APA guidelines including Title and Reference pages. There should be at least three scholarly sources listed on the reference page. Each source should be cited in the body of the paper to give credit where due. Per APA, the paper should use a 12-point Time New Roman font, should be double spaced throughout, and the first sentence of each paragraph should be indented .5 inches. The body of the paper should be 3 – 5 pages in length. The Title and Reference pages do not count towards the page count requirements.

 In this final project, you will implement a simple ramdisk module that you can format with “mkfs.ext2” and mount and unmount with “mount” and “umount”. The ram disk should be of a fixed size stored entirely in memory. It should appear as a block device in the system. This project is an example of a block device driver, which handles data a block at a time. Your project should satisfy the following requirements. 

– Implement a ramdisk as a kernel module. 

– Allow an ext2 filesystem to be installed onto the ramdisk. 

– Allow the filesystem to be mounted and unmounted with “mount” and “unmount” 

While submitting your project, please make sure you include the following:

1. your source code,
2. a makefile,
3. a short report describing your work.

 Provide a reflection of at least 500 words (or 2 pages double spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied, or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. 

Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited.
