M. Farhad November, 2019 Purpose of the Assessment: This assignment provides students with in depth knowledge and advanced professional skills to manage and maintain network servers. Students will be able to enquire some of the windows, Linux and other Operating System features, various performance Monitoring Systems and other software related to system management. They will also be able to know about the various tasks performed by the system administrator. In addition to that, the overview of the modern day operating systems is also necessary to keep up with the current trend. This assignment is designed to acquire a theoretical view of the existing features of Server operating system such as windows and Linux and compare them. The assignment must be submitted through Moodle only. The assignment submission will not be accepted if you do not upload it to Moodle on or before due date and time. Description of the assignment: One from the topics below will be selected randomly for you. Read articles and technical configuration about the topic. These articles can be searched online or from a journal. Provide a report (1000 – 1200) word limit, which should include the following headings:  Introduction  Background and related areas.  Explanation of the topic  Technical details  Advantages and Disadvantages  Improvements about the topic that has been made over years  Conclusion  References Preparation instructions:  Do not use WIKIPEDIA as one of the source articles.  Use IEEE style referencing and be sure and properly reference any diagrams/ graphics.  In all cases, concentrate on the aspects of the topic that concern server-client approach (either from software and hardware aspect or both) or relation to networking  You may provide cross platform advantage and/or disadvantage of the topic. Topics may include: 1. Server Management and backup and the current technical trends such as: - Cloud Storage - Server Virtualization Monitoring Tools - Data Intelligence 2. Content Distribution Network (CDN) and the current technical trends such as: - Value-added CDN services - Multi-CDN approach - Web Application Firewall (WAF) BN206 System Administration Page 3 of 5 Prepared by: Dr Syed Hussain Moderated by: Dr S.
