Part A

1. Recommendations if FFA should have a network with a file server.
There are pros and cons for this situation. For pros it will be easier for the users to multitask, instead of needing to switching computers to print, scan or to search on the internet. Also for instance if a file is needed to be printed and it’s on one computers that is only connected to the scanner or the internet, it would take some time to print because the user would have to put it in a storage disc then transfer over to the computer connected to the internet, this would waste a lot of time.
The cons about having a network with a file server is that if one of the computers have a virus, there is a high chance where the virus is able to spread to the other computers . This could cause the company to lose important files. Also if this was a small company it is not really necessary to have a file server. 2. Recommendation if FFA should use Electronic Spreadsheet.
Using an Electronic Spreadsheet would be most productive for the MRs because it would cause fewer mistakes for the MRs taking down what the shoppers has bought. Also it would be easier for the MRs to add up a total instead of using a pen a paper it would a lot of time and a risk of mistakes happening. 3. Advantages and disadvantages of using an Electronic Spreadsheet. Best type of devices suitable for this task.
The advantages for this is when all the data is taken, it is much easier and faster to calculate the total and generating graphs. The disadvantages for using this is if the company hires someone with no experience of using an Electronic Spreadsheets, they may take some time to learn how to use it and also there is a high chance in causing a big problem on the spreadsheets, having all the data incorrect. The best devices for this task would be an iPad or a tablet because it would much easier for the MRs to carry around with them while they are collecting data. 4. Explain Rich Internet Application (RIA). Meaning of Open Source.
Rich Internet Application – softwares that doesn’t require to be installed on the computer.
RIA will shorten the time of installing software and not even needing to update the software because the RiA will automatically do it for the user.
Open Source – software where it allows the Source Code run freely to any other third party computers, being able to review and modify.

5. Differences between Hard Disks in PCs, removable devices such as a USB drive, Network drive(s) stored on a servers owned by an orgnaisation and a Cloud device.
Hard disks in PCs advantages: * Storage space is usually large to contain databases * Have largest storage space * Can be written and over written * Stores and transfer data faster than other storage devices * Data can be backed up if PCs suddenly shuts down
Hard disks in PCs disadvantages: * Difficult transfer data to other PCs * Will fail eventually which stops PCs working completely
Removable Devices such as USB Drives advantages: * Easy to transfer data to other computers * Very affordable * More reliable than CD-ROMs or Floppy Disk
Removable Devices such as USB Drives disadvantages: * USB Drives tend to come in small size, so it is easy to misplace * Can be worn out much faster than a Hard Disk * Can occasionally cause data files to corrupt
Network drive(s) stored on a servers owned by an organisation advantages: * Only need one copy of any type of software * Data are well protected, password logging to access data/files * Always make a backup copy for if data/file gets corrupt or lost.
Network drive(s) stored on a servers owned by an organisation disadvantages: * Chance to be hacked in and have data/file stolen * Server fails or server gets down and unable to access * Chance to lose data/file when server is corrupt * Increase of user usage would lag the server.
