  • Define and describe load balancing. Discuss how you might use IaaS to implement load balancing.
  • Define and describe NAS. Assume you must implement a shared file system within the cloud. What company would you select? Why? What costs should your client expect to pay for cloud-based data on a gigabyte (GB) basis?
  • Define and describe colocation. Discuss how you might use IaaS to implement colocation.
  • Compare and contrast a cloud-based disk storage device (with a file system) with a cloud based database.

 NOTE: You are required to use at least two-peer reviewed sources (besides your textbook) to answer the above questions. 

write a project summary first

 

In this assignment, you will select a program, quality improvement initiative, or other project from your place of employment. Assume you are presenting this program to the board for approval of funding. Write an executive summary (850-1,000 words) to present to the board, from which they will make their decision to fund your program or project. The summary should include:

  1. The purpose of the program or project.
  2. The target population or audience.
  3. The benefits of the program or project
  4. The cost or budget justification.
  5. The basis upon which the program or project will be evaluated.

Share your written proposal with your manager, supervisor or other colleague in a formal leadership position within a health care organization. Request their feedback using the following questions as prompts:

  1. Do you believe the proposal would be approved if formally proposed?
  2. What are some strengths and weaknesses of the proposal?

Submit the written proposal along with the “Executive Summary Feedback Form.”

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a grading rubric. Instructors will be using the rubric to grade the assignment; therefore, students should review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.

You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center. Only Word documents can be submitted to Turnitin.

Quality health care is defined as “the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge” (Lohr and Schroeder, 1990) and a quality improvement strategy is defined as “any intervention aimed at reducing the quality gap for a group of patients representative of those encountered in routine practice” (Shojania, 2004). The purpose of this paper is to design a project regarding the quality improvement initiative that includes the purpose, target population, benefits and cost of the project; also the basis for project evaluation.

Night Time Noise Reduction Project

The author of this paper wants to present the proposal of a Night Time Noise Reduction Project

in the hospital for the funding to the board. Sleep is the essential part of human life and it is related to the normal functioning of the body. According to Ulrich and Joseph, “Hospitals are extremely noisy, and noise levels in most hospitals far exceed recommended guidelines” (Joseph and Ulrich, 2007). The noise of the hospitals includes the noise from machine and equipments, staffs conversation, roommates, alarms, intercoms and pagers. This author is a registered nurse who wants to propose the night time noise reduction project for the improvement of the quality and patient outcome. She is well aware of the various issues worsened by the noise-induced stress affecting not only the patients but also the family members.  Therefore, I hope this kind of project will help to reduce noise during night time promoting the quality care to patients and great hospital environment.

Case Study 2.1

Software licensing is a major problem in cloud computing. In a 3 to 4 page paper come up with several ideas to prevent an administrator from hijacking the authorization to use a software license. Make sure you adhere to the writing rubric, which includes citing your sources

Writing Requirements

  • 3–4 pages in length  (excluding cover page, abstract, and reference list)
  • At least two peer reviewed sources that are properly cited and referenced
  • APA format, Use the APA template located in the Student Resource Center to complete the assignment.
  • Please use the Case Study Guide as a reference point for writing your case study.

Cryptography and Encryption

 1) Do you believe that all data should be encrypted? Many computing professionals think this is a good idea. But a small number of computing experts feel that no data should be encrypted—that all data and software should be openly available to anyone who wants it. Explain your answer in 2 paragraphs (whether you believe all data should or should not be encrypted). 

2)   In this module, you learned that random numbers (or, at least, pseudorandom numbers) are essential in cryptography, but it is extremely difficult even for powerful hardware and software to generate them. Go online and conduct research on random number generators. What are the different uses of these tools besides cryptography? How do they work? Explain your answer using your own words in 2 paragraphs. 

Assignment

For this assignment, you are to construct a visual story of yourself, through information.

You have a lot of leeway with this assignment, but I want you to come up with an interesting and informative way to tell someone something about yourself, or to somehow track a particular characteristic or event. What is important, what is not? How does it relate to other things? If you can describe yourself in a paragraph, how would you describe yourself in a visual? Can you pick out a little piece of your experience of life and use graphical structure to tell this story, and even learn from it?

Think of this as building something like a resumé (meaning: “summary”) or curriculum vitae (“story of life”), but constructed through graphical structures rather than words, and topically about something broader than your skills and job history. This visual should investigate and show something about yourself that is interesting, unique, and perhaps quirky.

You can, and likely will, choose to concentrate on a particular area or subset of yourself rather than trying to incorporate everything, but you should try to make a coherent point, statement, or story with this visual. Incorporate as much or as little as you want.

This visual can be based on real data, if you have it, or it can be based on pseudo-data — approximations and an organizational sense, even if there is not true “data” to back it up. The point is rather to come up with a way to visually arrange, organize, and communicate.

You can choose to organize your graphic through some mechanism of time, space, flow, connection, overlap, impact, interest, happiness, …

SyncSession Assignment with Powerpoint presentation..

  • Research question(s) guiding the study
  • Conceptual model of the study relationships
  • Research approach (Exploratory vs Hypothesis-Based)
  • Research design (Qualitative vs Quantitative vs Mixed Methods)
  • Research methods utilized
  • Extension opportunity

assignment

Write at least a 3-4-page APA formatted paper on a business problem that requires data mining (I grade on quality and not quantity so show me you understand what we have leaned so far).

Explain why the problem requires data mining, the general approach you plan to take, what kind of data you plan to use, and finally how you plan to get the data.

You should (1) describe your problem, approach (SPECIFIC ex: CRISP-DM, SEMMA, KDD, etc. ), (2) dataset (SPECIFIC ex: historical artifacts, transactions, etc) , (3) data analysis/ tools and techniques (SPECIFIC algorithm, SPECIFIC technique, SPECIFIC method.. clustering, sampling, etc) , and (4) how your data mining will attempt to solve your problem

You MUST include the 4 targets listed above with SPECIFICS..ex: pre-processing of data, algorithm, method, and/or technique we have discussed. I am looking for how you are understanding the specific concepts and how you are applying these concepts.  

Your paper should include an abstract and a conclusion and a reference page with at least 3-5 references.

All written reports should be submitted in MS Word.
