Emerging Technologies and Architecture

4. Is there space for upgrading the RAM? If there isn’t, what could you do to still upgrade?

Intel Pentium/Celeron family, or AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)

Buzzing, ringing, clicking, swiping, and tapping are all sounds we make with technology, but how far will it go? Societies may be overruled by technology in the future, according to Aldous Huxley. He creates a dystopian society where everything is unpleasant and overruled by technology. Technology is so advanced that is controlling the society and taking the society as its prisoners. Aldous Huxley explored a new way of seeing technology in the 1930s through his novel Brave New World while introducing the world to the impact technology can have and how it is able to threaten a society.

In the past processors required only a boost in their clock speed to have an improvement in efficiency, but as technology evolved, companies like Intel, a major processor manufacturer, came up with

Old entities, relics of the past, can often hold value and insights into the future. Books are an especially good source of knowledge about the future. There are many literary examples of books that dissect the human psyche to the point of being able to predict possible scenarios and conflicts. The novel Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley, is an eerie example of a book with prophetical potential. As each year passes this world is becoming increasingly more similar to the world in Aldous Huxley’s novel.

By using virtual servers, our company is able to run everything on our physical servers. This includes our ERP, file and print, login server, applications, and mail. Our company will obtain a total of 10 Windows

Assumptions: (1) without considering support program (2) buy a new machine, (3) spend full marketing budget

The first portion of the computer build for either casual or hardcore, is the CPU. There are two major companies to pick from, Intel and AMD.The only difference in the two is the compatibility with certain motherboards. Whichever is picked, Intel or AMD, will help narrow the decisions on the motherboard, which will in turn help figure out the RAM needed. After the decision has been made of one company or the other, the next step is to pick which CPU from either company is the right one for the builder. Intel has the new

As we all know virtualization is the requirement of future. We have evolved from the age of traditional environment to virtual environment.We have grown accustomed to almost all things virtual from virtual memory to virtual networks to virtual storage.The most widely leveraged benefit of virtualization technology is server consolidation, enabling one server to take on the workloads of multiple servers. For example, by consolidating a branch office’s print server, fax server, exchange server, and web server on a single windows server, businesses reduce the costs of hardware, maintenance, and staffing.

Most of the manufacturing in the organization is automated with the help of high end servers. These physical servers when are overloaded or when they are being used for longer period of time, tend to degrade and malfunction as their components start to fail and this would require replacing them with new ones. This will incur additional cost to the company if the server is not covered under manufacturer warranty or it has expired and is no longer in support by the manufacturer. Thus the organization is in need of virtualization of the physical servers to overcome these problems. The organization has been around for more than three decades and hence is using older applications that won’t run on newer hardware and the current hardware is about to degrade. So in order to save the company from such incidents that could result in major setback in manufacturing, virtualization of these servers is necessary. Another benefit of virtualizing the servers is that the resources such as CPUs, disk size, RAM size of the virtual servers can be increased if the load is too high on the server. This can be done on the fly, without creating an impact to the organization.

6b. Should the hardware be upgraded and which hardware, please be specific and explain why: PCs, PCs and networking, etc.?

Another issue to consider on the hardware aspect regards the minimum system requirements required to run Ubuntu 15.04. The Table 1 below shows the minimum system requirements for Ubuntu 15.04 compared to the current system specifications for machines running Windows XP. The third ‘Requirements met’ column specifies whether the current Windows XP hardware meets the minimum requirements for installing Ubuntu 15.04.
