There are numerous great open source software solutions for database servers, like, H2, HyperSQL, MySQL, mysql, Oracle, and PostgreSQL, just to name a few. They all offer topnotch functionality, performance, scalability, and security. As far as which one is the best, I recommend PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL is an object-relational Database software solution that offers some of the most feature rich options as compared to the bigger commercial manufacturers like Oracle, IBM, Sybase and Informix, and the best part of it, it 's free. It 's also one of the first database software that was released, and it has a proven track record with over 23 years of active development. It was created back in 1989. The only other DB software that came out before it is Oracle, which was created back in 1979. Now PostgreSQL might not be the fastest, but It more than makes up for it with its functionality. It allows the use of two different types of interfaces, a GUI (for those who like the point-click style) and a SQL. It works on most OSs like windows, Linux, Mac, Unix, etc. It has a vast array of services and tools that is included to streamline the administration of the Database. Here are just some examples; Full ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, & Durability) compliancy, commercial & noncommercial support, triggers support, user defined data type support, stored procedure support, online backup, multiple index type input support, embedded

Tony’s Chips has been acquired by a new independent company. The new company’s intention is to focus on the e-commerce website that they have planned. Currently, the old website is externally hosted and it is required to be moved to an internal one. This new system will store, retrieve, and have data recovery solutions for the company. An additional backup site will need to be created

The purpose of this project is to conduct an analysis research into the implementation and management of this business enterprise system. This project deals with developing and upgrading the computer system to handle to daily work load of our business while being able to conduct communication between sites and data back-up. Furthermore, we will analyze other various architectures features such as: system requirements, architecture selection, resources and timeline, security and the

Database plays a major role in any organization. As a Database administrator(DBA) he/she is responsible in developing, implementing and maintaining the databases and DBA 's are also responsible in updating, backup 's and security of the databases. The first Database Management System was developed in the late 1960 's by two firms based on their network data model but in the early 1970’s a scientist of IBM introduced Relational database theory after six years IBM completed prototype on RDBMS (relational database management system). Oracle created the first versatile Relational Database Management Systems In 1983, which allowed organizations to use their DBMS on different machines including mainframes, workstations, and Pc 's. In 1993 Microsoft first created a database application called Access for Macintosh machines. Microsoft SQL server is a RDBMS which is used to store and retrieve the data by other software applications. There are 12 types of servers concentrated on various types of user 's from single computer to large networks (Microsoft SQL DBA).

Discuss what it will take to build Web architecture, move an existing Website with minimal downtime, and provide a disaster recovery solution to ensure the site is always available.

While ABC maintains a small information technology (IT) group, the expertise does not currently exist internally to design, build, and implement the sort of extensive online platform required for this effort. Therefore, the recommendation is to contract this work out to an internet marketplace provider who can work with ABC to meet its needs within the determined timeframe and budget. It should be noted that while ABC does not have this expertise internally, the technology exists and is in use throughout the marketplace which lowers the risk of this concept considerably.

In this document I will reflect on my own experience during the process of development of the web application for Easons. I will refer to the team collaboration, the project management methods involved, the code development process, documentation created in the design process, and my personal reflection on the whole project. Our project was the development of a web application for Easons Ireland for cataloguing, documenting and tracking repair process of e-readers. Our project subject was chosen from few proposed by a team as challenging and demanding of team commitment. Client requirements presented to us were very high but at the same time well documented and mostly attainable.

A decision between DB2 and Oracle should be based on what resources are available for use at the site. Is there specific hardware or software already onsite that can or will be used in the installation, if so this will have a major impact on the decision making process. Does the

Founded in 2002, HostGator has been in the hosting industry for a long time. The company has consistently grown since its humble beginnings, and now has offices in several countries around the world in order to continually expand their customer base. “Aimed primarily at the semi-technical user, Host Gator’s flexibility is their strong suit”(Frankel, 2017, para 3). This distinction allows more tech-savvy businesses to pick and choose desired features to ensure the final product is pleasing. “HostGator has near limitless options and control, however, they require a little more knowledge than beginner-focused web hosts”(Frankel, 2017, para 4). HostGator has developed an outstanding reputation in the hosting community for its performance. The company offers reliable services at competitive prices by affording organizations the flexibility to choose the services needed instead of simply offering rigid packages. HostGator boasts an extremely advanced datacenter to ensure redundancy in their server network to prevent downtime. They have incorporated a level of redundancy that prevents single point of failure in order to deliver services as advertised. While HostGator has a great reputation of performance, it must perform well in key performance indicators (KPI) identified by prospective clients to turn them into customers.

Brain Smith, network administrator at Advanced Energy Technology (AET), has been given the responsibility of implementing the migration of a large data center to a new office location. Careful planning is needed because AET operates in the highly competitive petroleum industry. AET is one of five national software companies which provide an accounting and business management package for oil jobbers and gasoline distributors. A few years ago, AET jumped into the “application service provider” world. Their large data centre provides clients with remote access to AET’s complete suite of application software systems. Traditionally, one of AET’s primary competitive advantages has been the

Today's business requirements drive the necessity for software applications that enable organizations to maintain constant and continuous availability. We are living in a 24/7 world. Brick and mortar businesses that only needed to worry about the security of their hard assets after closing for the day now have websites allowing customers to shop online at their convenience. Simply establishing a web presence is not enough to compete in the market. Business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-customer (B2C) commerce requires a high-availability strategy with planning and solutions for a fault tolerant system with 24-hour access. An organization offering goods and services on the

-if appropriate storage is not there our whole database will crash due to less storage because our main requirement is large storage.

Hence, the old web-based system will be fully terminated. In addition to that, developing the web-based system should cost around US $1,100-$3,800, and also there should an annual budget of US $600-$2,800 for optimization and maintenance [9]. The average development time should be between 2-3 months [10]. The fees for payment gateway service if provided by a service provider company such as Authorize.net will be US $25 per month, US $49 for the setup, 10¢ per transaction (gateway) and 10¢ for a daily batch fee [11]. Which justifies to a large extent the need to carry on with this project as the estimated development’s cost and time is considerably feasible and reasonable by a medium size company. The new project will replace the old one currently powered by AP Media, and it will be primarily hosted on a website hosting company named GoDaddy that offers web hosting services for enterprise companies that starts from C$49. 99 per month [12]. As this project will be the first trial of the system, it will allow the developers to collect user’s feedback through contact us page, which will guide the developers in developing and improving the project full version in the future. The development process starts with conducting a literature review, including current web-based systems of companies providing similar services in the market. After that the current airportfleet
