...Smith’s Information Services Data Outsourcing Analysis and Recommendation Executive Summary Smith’s Information Services is an information Services Company located in Lexington, Massachusetts. The company is a growing company with a good future outlook of growing the business. However, the company has growing costs connected to costs of running the data centers. The company has a goal to reduce overhead and possibly utilizing outside services to reach that goal. Smith’s Information Services goals falls within the typical outsourcing services offered by IT outsourcing companies (data center operations). The company’s assessment is that running a data center is getting cost prohibitive and that is backed up by studies done by the U.S. Department of Energy. Data Center Energy Analysis Data centers can consume up to 100 times more energy versus a regular office building. In addition, less that 15% of our energy consumption is being used towards the use of information technology equipment. The energy that data centers like ours are using has doubled from 2000 to 2006. That equates to 60 billion kilowatt hours per year. The projection says that number doubled again in 2011. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prepared Figure 2 below to outline data center energy consumption from 2000 through 2006 with multiple scenarios depicting continued growth through 2011.

According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA, 1990), a dog is considered a "service dog" if it has been "individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability." Also according to the ADA, a 'disability' is a "mental or physical condition which substantially limits a major life activity" such as: • caring for one's self and assisting with routine tasks of daily living • performing manual tasks so people with disabilities can enjoy and participate in their community • walking and providing balance and ballast to protect their partner from harm caused by falls • seeing and guiding their partner as they go about daily community life • hearing and alerting their partner to sounds ie: people’s voices, fire alarms, or other emergencies • speaking by delivering written notes when a partner is unable to communicate verbally • breathing by alerting their partner to allergens causing anaphylactic shock ie: peanuts • learning: many Service Dogs empower their partner to attend school and gain experience to work • working: many Service Dogs empower their partner to be able to work and become independent • as well as some disabilities that may not be visible, such as: deafness, autism spectrum, heart disease, diabetes, epilepsy, allergies,...

The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) is the Government appointed regulating body that would be responsible for completing the aforementioned task. The reason there is virtually no regulation of the internet is because there is virtually no legislation concerning the service. However, there is legislation acknowledging the internet and the need to promote its development and availability to the public. The internet is typically made available to the public via telecommunications providers in the form of an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Telecom providers are subject to Federal Regulations, and the FCC creates and enforces legislation concerning...

...Motivation in the Health Information Services Department The case study entitled, “Job Redesign for Expanded HIM Functions” written by Elizabeth Layman, gave extensive and exhaustive detail about the theories of job design and motivation, as well as the potential pitfalls of corrective action. While the information was extraordinarily detailed, it also did not give many relatable details regarding application of the theories presented. For this reason, the first two questions of the assignment can be readily answered, but the last two questions have almost no information with which to respond. Therefore, this essay’s focus will be mainly on the first two questions. The principles of goal setting were first explained in extensive detail, and then a careful plan was drawn up for their application. The problems with the Health Information Services (“HIS”) Departments included a steady stream of new technology, new job descriptions and requirements, organizational changes, and employees’ general feeling of being overburdened. The new technology included new information systems, but also an increase in already existing systems such as volume of email. (Layman, 2011). A...

...Matthew Klutts NT2670 2/21/2016 Project part 1 I do this IIS or Internet Information Services is the best choice for an application server. This is because it is a windows system. It provides a secure, easy to manage, modular and extensible platform for hosting websites, services and applications. With IIS you can maximize web security with a reduced server foot print and automatic application isolation. IIS 7.0 and up have a modular architecture. Modules, also called extensions, can be added or removed individually so that only modules that are required for specific functions are installed. IIS in my opinion will be the best choice for this server, because of all the information that I provided above, and the fact that I’m more comfortable with windows based systems. The ports that need to be open to host ftp, http, https, and streaming media are listed below. 1. FTP a. The default port range is 1024-5000, but the upper range can be changed. 2. HTTP b. Port 80 or port 8530 3. HTTPS c. Port 443 or port 8531 4. Streaming media d. Windows Media server uses TCP in ports to accept an incoming HTTP connection (80), RTSP connection (554), MMS connection (443). e. Windows Media Server uses UDP out ports 1024-5000 and 5004. Due to the design of IIS and its security features I don’t see many security concerns with having all these ports open on the same server. Although there is no way for any system to be completely safe...

...there is a clear need to maximize the available resources between employees then it is appropriate to add additional servers to facilitate the sharing of files as well as the configuration of remote access services to allow for remote and secure working. In order to complement the existing network scenario this proposal is based around the configuration and deployment of Microsoft Windows Server 2012 as the network operating system. This is a stable and secure server environment which will allow the designated services to be configured and will equally allow for scalability while at the same time decreasing the overall maintenance and administration to support the network and associated servers. Given the size of the current organization and the IT systems at present, Windows Server 2012 Standard edition would be the most appropriate version for deployment as this will also keep the up-front costs down to a minimum – there is no requirement for the Enterprise Edition whose features will not be required in this implementation. One of the critical roles for the new server implementations will be that of a File Server capability – this can be easily configured within the Ocper, Inc. network through a Static IP address being assigned to this machine and then the File Services role being added to the default configuration (see Figure 1). This will allow File Shares to be created with specific permissions assigned across various employees and there will also be the opportunity to...

...designed for specific system types. Each different version of Windows Server 2008 bring different features to the table for server management. Some of the popular versions of Windows server 2008 are Window Server – Datacenter, Windows Server – Enterprise, and Windows Server – Standard. (Microsoft.com) Datacenter is designed for large scale virtualization, with this it can help reduces costs on power consumption on the server and reduce infrastructure maintenance. Enterprise provides high levels of system uptime, giving the capability to have numerous services running in the office, offsite, and international. Windows Server standard edition allows the basic services provided by Windows Server 2008, being able to maintain a basic serviced server. (Microsoft.com) Windows Server 2008 has several new features and enhancements. Some of these are: IIS 7, Role-based installation, and Network access protection. Internet Information Server, is a group of internet servers with additional capabilities giving windows HTTP capability. (TechTarget) Role-based installation allows for scalability in large heavy email traffic.(GFI) With it being a less extreme version of server core gives a more simplistic adding and removing roles. Simply put pick what role the server is to be and it will be it. There are many difference between Server 2008 and 2003. One of the most significant differences is the introduction of Hyper-V. A 64-bit architecture is an advantage because it has the capability...

...currently has three locations and sells high-end gourmet food to consumers. The business appears to be well run and is obtaining a profit a review of the business was commenced to determine if there are any deficiencies that need to be addressed. After a review of all departments it was determined that a deficiencies existed in the human resources department in combination with the Payroll Department. The deficiency is that currently employees manually have to record timesheets, have them reviewed by the Store Manager, faxed to Payroll and finally entered by hand into the Payroll System. To address this deficiency it has been determined that Kudler Fine Foods needs to implement a web-based timesheet tracker system. To implement any new information technology system in a business environment the entire system must be researched and considered to make the implementation as smooth as possible. In the previous needs document, Kudler Fine Foods was shown to have a need for a new web-based time sheet entry system. The needs documents also explained two use cases on how the technology could be used. The first use case was the timesheet entry. In this use case, the employee would complete a timesheet on the website and submit to store manager for approval. To build this system it is necessary to design throughly the system and account for every issue. Riordan will use the Unified Software Development Process (USDP) to design the system (www.technologyuk.net). USDP has four phases...
