ASSIGNMENT

Aim & Objective

This coursework is designed to demonstrate the broad understanding and knowledge of the module, assessing and evaluating the student’s strength and level of analysis; divided into four learning outcomes. The coursework should be submitted as one document in a report format in final submission.

Assignment Scenario:

Working a company as a network support, you have been assigned to study and evaluate the suitability of Cloud Computing environment to be implemented in your company(fixit.co.uk), the benefit of this technology is hard to resist yet being responsible and have been appointed to study, evaluate, design and implement a new company cloud service to provide a resilient mobile and storage for all employees, by which all employees will be able to store, share and access documents and digital files on the move, the system must be able to work in multiple platform including mobile telephones. This service should be design with the main objective to help employees and engineers across the country to access information related to work.

The company currently do not have any cloud infrastructure and therefore you report should explore, analyse and evaluate multiple service and deployment model. The end users at the (fixit.co.uk) should be able to access files using any platform and/or desktop client over the internet. The company directors emphasised on mobility and future upcoming project for which the company planning to include VoIP services.

As a cloud engineer, produce a technical report on the design solution and a security manual that answers the following:

  • Introduce and describe the problem; o Write a rational describing and analytical background of cloud history and evolution, include some illustration / diagrams to clarify the idea.
    • Brief description of the problem and proposed higher level solution description
  • Rationale for the solution:
    • Discussion on why the solution is appropriate for the scenario. o Architectural design (architectural diagram and description).
    • Deployment model (description of the model, and discussion on why that model was chosen). o Service model (description of the model, and discussion on why that model was chosen).
    • Critical discussion on data migration during the project.
  • Cloud computing solutions can be realised using various frameworks and tools. You will work with cloud service providers or open source tools to configure and implement multiple cloud solutions based on the design you have created for the given scenario; o Solution 1 Configure a cloud computing platform with a cloud service provider’s framework including the installation of any simple applications on/for the platform.
    • Solution 2 Implement a cloud platform using an open source tool and demonstrate how to use the platform as a simple database server.
  • Analysis of the most common problems of a cloud computing platform; o Possible solutions to these problems. o Analysis of the most common security issues in the cloud environment.
    • Discussion on how to overcome these issues.

3. Plagiarism and Collusion

Any act of plagiarism or collusion will be seriously dealt with according to the College regulations. In this context the definitions and scope of plagiarism and collusion are presented below:

Plagiarism is presenting somebody else’s work as your own. It includes copying information directly from the Web or books without referencing the material; submitting joint coursework as an individual effort.

Collusion is copying another student’s coursework; stealing coursework from another student and submitting it as your own work.

Suspected plagiarism or collusion will be investigated and if found to have occurred will be dealt with according to the College procedure (For details on Plagiarism & Collusion please see the Student Handbook).

Glossary:

Analyse: Break an issue or topic into smaller parts by looking in depth at each part. Support each part with arguments and evidence for and against (Pros and cons)

Evaluate: When you evaluate you look at the arguments for and against an issue.

Critically Evaluate/Analyse: When you critically evaluate you look at the arguments for and against an issue. You look at the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments. This could be from an article you read in a journal or from a text book.

Discuss: When you discuss you look at both sides of a discussion. You look at both sides of the arguments.

Then you look at the reason why it is important (for) then you look at the reason why it is important (against).

Explain: When you explain you must say why it is important or not important.

Describe: When you give an account or representation of in words.

Identify: When you identify you look at the most important points.

Define: State or describe the nature, scope or meaning.

The assignment I got was complicated enough and it was hard for someone else to do it. Our professor had explained a proper technique and format to do it, I was worried if urgenthomework could do it or not? I had a talk with their customer care and they gave me the contact details of the expert who would do my work. I told them the procedure and I was surprised by the product delivery. It was an excellent work framed in the style and Format I wanted it.

I had a critical task accommodation due date. One of my companions recommended that I should hire the services of urgenthomework.com. When I put in the task request, they quickly acknowledged it and comprehended the earnestness and urgency of time. they conveyed my task until before a day of submission date. Services are as good as your writing is. And quite affordable as well. Wish you good luck for the future. Keep growing.
