...assumption, they developed the company’s first product, the F5 BIG-IP controller, a load balancer that distributed Internet traffic across multiple servers. BIG-IP kept websites up and running when servers failed or were overloaded, accelerated traffic, and provided some basic security features. In June 1999, the company went public as F5 Networks and was listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange (NASDAQ: FFIV). As it was in 1999, corporate focus in 2013 remains on providing network intelligence that enables customers to respond quickly to change, streamline business processes, reduce costs, and provide differentiated offerings that help increase revenue. Through internal development and acquisitions, F5 extended its reach beyond load balancing, producing a range of integrated products for Application Delivery Networking.

...The server load was affected by the increase in the demand or base load placed upon the network. This led to slow pings, increased network traffic, and a lot more collision domains. The network load was severely affected because on the increase in demand within the network. The network was also affected because of the addition of more nodes on the network the traffic is doubled. I would highly recommend the use of Network Load Balancing which scales the performance of a server-based programs and it also helps to evenly distribute the load and traffic through the network. Server load balancing should also be put into place into order to lighten the load that is on the servers. Strategic planning expansion should also be practiced because it is nice to come prepared for the worst instead of just crossing your fingers. I would setup the first server followed by the 30 nodes that I connected to the switch I then put a load onto the network and ran my tests, making sure that the results were positive. Next I would add an expansion onto the network so I added another switch and connected 15 nodes to that. Finally, I would re-run the networks test at which led to the increase in nodes which would put a much higher strain on the network and the server load in general. This looks all good on paper but unfortunately I was unable to complete all the steps. The creation of the network is a little more complicated and required much more pratice than I expected.

This system uses rule-based Intelligence Technique and implicit User Profiling to judge the proficiency level of the student and generates tests for them accordingly. More specifically it’s a Test Generation, Assessment and Remedial System where the student can give a test after he has completed studying a particular concept where the difficulty level of the test will be decided by the expert system engine. After the completion of the test, the system helps the student in improving the proficiency of the concept either if it is expected by the concept or if he faces difficulty in understanding the concept. Based on the type of errors made in the test, the Test Remedial System will help the student to improve in that domain of understanding of the concept. Every phase transition is rule-based which considers the user’s profile and the concept importance to make sure that he does well where it is required. Preliminary Experimental Implementations show that with User Profiling we can reduce the amount...

...Balancing Work and Personal Life [Author’s Name] [Institute] [Date] Introduction In many homes and organizations, the challenge of balancing work and personal life is rising among employees and employers. Today’s society is fast-paced. People are challenged with multiple demands at the workplace and attending to their personal lives without compromising their personal life duties and work duties. This essay offers some insight on possible solutions to balancing work and personal life. Challenges and Solutions Balancing work and personal life is a dominant issue in today’s society, which is filled with conflicting commitments and responsibilities. The key factors that contribute to the challenge of balancing work and personal life are competition and interest in personal values. Existing research suggests that a conflict between family and work has consequences that can affect the career attainment and the quality of a family life for both women and men (Lockwood, 2003, p. 4). For instance, women experience the challenge of either having an active career or marriage and children, and men usually trade off career and personal values. Such challenges often lead to poor employee productivity, task avoidance, drug abuse, and marital problems. Therefore, there is need to balance work and personal life. A balance between work and personal life can motivate people at the workplace and foster better personal lives. Balancing work and personal life can be achieved through taking...

...Abstract The study report explains the relationship between the two variables i.e. work life balance and teachers’ performance. The whole of the report tries to draw conclusions about to what extent both of the variables are correlated and in which direction these two variables are linked. Survey research method is being selected for this study along with self administered questionnaire to collect relevant and needed information. Researcher has remained successful in gathering valid and reliable data and then to critically evaluating the data. Univariate and bivariate tables are used to access the results of the study i.e. to study the relationship between level of work life balance and level of teachers’ performance. At the end Resercher has found the two variables linked closely together and moving in the same direction. That means the research hypothesis has been proved and it is concluded that there exists a strong relationship between the two variables under study. In more simple words, one may conclude about the study that a teacher having high level of work life balance performs better as compare to the teacher who has low level of work life balance. So, High level of work life balance causes high performance. . 1. Introduction This study of relationship between work life balance and teachers’ performance, explains the factors affecting the work life balance and teacher’s performance. Work-life balance for any person is having the 'right'...

...You have now completed four Rounds of the Cybersecurity Capstone Simulation As a major part of this course, you engaged in a Cybersecurity Capstone Simulation. A virtual environment was created, simulating the United States. You were divided into teams representing major sectors of the US environment: * Finance * Federal Government * Defense Contractor * Electrical Power s * Telecommunications The Simulation activity consisted of four rounds, which you now have completed. In each round, your team made a range of decisions in technical, managerial and policy areas. The decisions were input into the virtual environment. In addition, environmental events such as hacker attacks, an economic downturn, or natural disasters were injected into the environment. The interplay of teams’ decisions and events resulted in various outcomes for each team on a number of indicators such as profitability, employee morale, national security, and system downtime. Each team analyzed how their organization performed in the round, and applied lessons learned as they made decisions for the simulation. Grading on the assignments depended less on the outcomes of a team’s performance, and more on how each team analyzed their environment and options and how they justified their decisions. The environment provided a place for each team to discuss the justifications for their decisions. Now that the final round has completed, please summarize your team’s results, observations...

...The Process of Line balancing: * Line balancing is essential for an effective product layout. * It is difficult to achieve equal work content to all stages in a process so therefore this will result in an imbalance hence a balancing loss. In the case of a line imbalance, extra resources need to be allocated to ensure the process is brought back to an efficient level of activity. With as high as possible the level of effectiveness for each stage in the process. * If a line is not properly balanced and therefore there is an imbalance the effectiveness of this is known as a balancing loss. The measure of a balancing loss is where the problem occurs of unequal allocation of work as part of the overall time needed to produce a product or service. * Perfect balancing would mean that work content is evenly allocated to each stage of the process. * The effectiveness of the balancing activity is measured by the balancing loss. * The longest stage in the process is called a bottleneck; it governs the flow of items through the whole process. Balancing Technique: * Various numbers of techniques available, must decide which is the best for the goal you are aiming for. Precedence Technique: * “This technique is a representation of the ordering of the elements which compose the total work content of the product or service” (Topic four product layout page 197) Worked Example: * Is the technique who the number of stages equal the total work content...

...philosophy, especially his various commentaries on Aristotle, is still considered to be of the highest caliber. Many believe that Ross's work in this area is his most valuable contribution to philosophy. However, his main writings in moral philosophy are of lasting if not equal value. His The Right and the Good is arguably one of the most important works of moral philosophy published in the twentieth century” (p. 1). This essay reviews ethical pluralism. Ross contends that there is plurality of irreducible moral rules that are basic in moral thought. W. D. Ross Ross argues there is no one single moral principle or rule. Instead, Ross thinks we can make moral betterment by learning more of our moral duties, and doing our best at balancing conflicting understanding and values. According to Ross review of Utilitarianism, which Ross considers has limited aspects of the relationships between people: the relationship of harmer to harmed and the relationship of beneficent to beneficiary. Ross advances that we have self-evident prima facie moral duties, and intrinsic value. These duties are “prima facie” because they can be overridden, duties include "utilitarian" duties to promote other people's happiness and prevent suffering. However, these are not the only duties. They may sometimes conflict, and then we have to decide which is the stronger duty. According to Ross (1996): “When I am in a situation, as perhaps I always am, in which more than one of these prima facie duties is incumbent...

...When establishing accounting standards is basically saying they want you all accounting firms and accountants to be uniform. They don’t want any outliers doing something completely different on their accounting reports when another accountant is following the set of standards given to him by AICPA and FASB. FASB has a need for balancing their accounting considerations and economic consequences. Political process is basically a process that forms and administrates public policy that is usually between the interaction between social groups and political institutions. Sometimes it is even between political leaders and the public opinion. Economic consequences of accounting standard-setting means accounting standards can have detrimental impacts on the wealth levels of the providers of financial information. FASB has been around throughout the years trying to keep up to date with all of the accounting standards and forming them around what everybody finds understandable. The Accounting Principles Board was always superseded by the FASB statements, that were recognized as accepted practices and constituted as the requirements to be followed by all business. Statements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board are currently represented by the accounting profession’s authoritative pronouncements on financial accounting and reporting practices. How politics influence the creation of accounting standards? The accountancy profession has been setting international accounting standards...

While leader is Person or thing that holds a dominant or superior position within its field, and is able to exercise a high degree of control or influence over others. Management is the organization and coordination of the activities of an enterprise in accordance with certain policies and in achievement of defined objectives. Leadership in an organizational role involves (1) establishing a clear vision, (2) sharing (communicating) that vision with others so that they will follow willingly, (3) providing the information, knowledge, and methods to realize that vision, and (4) coordinating and balancing the conflicting interests of all members or stakeholders We change them but the keywords or some words are still the same.

...Functions of Management Vicki Gould MGT 330 December 19, 2011 Matthew Gerrell Functions of Management In management four functions are used to ensure that tasks are accomplished and jobs are done properly. These four functions are Planning, Organizing, Leading, and Controlling. Planning is the process of determining the tasks that need accomplished and deciding on the actions that need to be taken to achieve the tasks at hand. Planning activities include analyzing current situations, anticipating the future, determining objectives, deciding what types of activities the company will use, choosing strategies, and deciding on resources needed to achieve the goals (Thomas S. Bateman, 2009). Planning relates to my organization in many ways. Each week we have a managers meeting to determine the amount of waste that we have, the labor control, cleanliness, planned maintenance, any promotions coming up, the amount of product sold, and the cash variance. In discussing these areas we determine what we can do to control them to make a profit by looking at the numbers from the previous week we can determine if we are making the goal for the month or if we are missing in certain areas. For instance for our variance for the month our goal is $321 the first week of the month our total was $5.19 which meant we started out good the next week we were at $204. This showed us that when counting registers the amount up and down was way off, and we need to be more careful in our counting....
