Project 1 Details
Due: 18 November 2022
Background
Your organization’s Chief Information Officer (CIO) has asked you to
investigate the following operating systems:
1. Windows
2. Linux
3. Mac OS
XXXXXXXXXXSolaris
In particular, the organisation is interested in knowing the following
information:
1. Basic utilization for desktop, file serving and Web-Site hosting
and hardware compatibility
2. Ease of use and availability of device support
3. Cu
ent and future application support
However, as an IT support professional, you know that operating
systems support goes beyond basic characteristics, market share
and simple comparison tables. You are concerned that any selection
of an operating system should involve a careful analysis of internal
technical capability. In order to obtain a better understanding of each
of the operating systems, you decide that you will start your review
with memory and process management strategies used by the
operating systems, to gain a better understanding of each of their
strengths and weakness.
Report: Criteria & Preliminary Investigation
1. Develop a criteria list with which you team will evaluate the
operating systems. Indicate what are strengths and weaknesses. If
trade offs are determined, identify why they were chosen and the
consequences they cause. Supply a written copy of your team’s
criteria and include it as an appendix in your report (see below)
2. Develop a 4-page (in total) report 12 Point Times New
Roman - Double Spaced on the three operating systems. In the
eport, provide the following:
➢ A
ief introduction to each operating system, describing its
suitability for desktop, file serving and Web-Site hosting and any
specific hardware requirements. Include in your introduction a
ief
outline of application support.
➢ For each operating system, describe the technical
characteristics of process and memory management. For example, if
each operating system uses virtual memory management, indicate
how prioritization of threads is achieved, whether applications can
access higher priority threads and, if so, how.
➢ Summarize your technical findings, so far, and, using your
team’s evaluation criteria (described above), indicate which operating
systems would be suited for which types of environments. Relate
your findings to the initial requests originally given by the
organization:
Your report should include references to technical material used, and
can include tables and comparison charts for easy of reading.
Provide industry created benchmarks for performance (if available).
Note: You must submit your completed Project 1 in PDF format to the
“Proj_1” directory in your server directory structure. The filename of
your assignment must be Project_1.pdf. Use of a different filename or
putting the file in the wring directory will result in a zero grade for the
assignment.
