Project_1 Project 1 Details Due: 18 November 2022 Background Your organization’s Chief Information Officer (CIO) has asked you to investigate the following operating systems: 1. Windows 2. Linux 3. Mac OS 4. Solaris In particular, the organisation is interested in knowing the following information: 1. Basic utilization for desktop, file serving and Web-Site hosting and hardware compatibility 2. Ease of use and availability of device support 3. Current and future application support However, as an IT support professional, you know that operating systems support goes beyond basic characteristics, market share and simple comparison tables. You are concerned that any selection of an operating system should involve a careful analysis of internal technical capability. In order to obtain a better understanding of each of the operating systems, you decide that you will start your review with memory and process management strategies used by the operating systems, to gain a better understanding of each of their strengths and weakness. Report: Criteria & Preliminary Investigation 1. Develop a criteria list with which you team will evaluate the operating systems. Indicate what are strengths and weaknesses. If trade offs are determined, identify why they were chosen and the consequences they cause. Supply a written copy of your team’s criteria and include it as an appendix in your report (see below) 2. Develop a 4-page (in total) report 12 Point Times New Roman - Double Spaced on the three operating systems. In the report, provide the following: ➢ A brief introduction to each operating system, describing its suitability for desktop, file serving and Web-Site hosting and any specific hardware requirements. Include in your introduction a brief outline of application support. ➢ For each operating system, describe the technical characteristics of process and memory management. For example, if each operating system uses virtual memory management, indicate how prioritization of threads is achieved, whether applications can access higher priority threads and, if so, how. ➢ Summarize your technical findings, so far, and, using your team’s evaluation criteria (described above), indicate which operating systems would be suited for which types of environments. Relate your findings to the initial requests originally given by the organization: Your report should include references to technical material used, and can include tables and comparison charts for easy of reading. Provide industry created benchmarks for performance (if available). Note: You must submit your completed Project 1 in PDF format to the “Proj_1” directory in your server directory structure. The filename of your assignment must be Project_1.pdf. Use of a different filename or putting the file in the wring directory will result in a zero grade for the assignment.

Introduction
Operating systems are the
interface between computer hardware and computer users. It is the software that performs all basic tasks like process management, file management, process management and handling output and input. It enables the application to interact with computer hardware. It includes core components that are known as kernels. The study provides comparison between Windows OS, Linux OS and Mac OS.
Introduction for each operating system
Windows is the graphical operating system that was developed by Microsoft. This allows users to store and view files for running the software, watches video, play games and provides a way for connecting to the internet. This operating system provides all fundamental functions. The advantage of Windows OS is that it is a commonly used OS and it is used by most of the merchants. It is one of the most convenient operating systems that are simple to use. This OS is most suitable for web-site hosting and file serving (Adekotujo et al. 2020, pp. 17). It provides the appropriate platform for programming and gaming that can be used for utilizing windows for creating applications. The disadvantage is that as this is a commonly used OS, it is mostly targeted by hackers. The framework turns out to be delayed for execution and it needs to be rebooted.
Specific Hardware requirements of Windows OS:
· Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC
· RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit
· Hard disk space: 16 GB for 32-bit OS or 20 GB for 64-bit OS
Linux is an open source operating system and it includes the use of software that can be managed directly with system resources and hardware like memory, CPU and storage. This OS is suitable for use but the UI is a little complicated for file sharing but it provides a good platform for web-site hosting (Kononova et al. 2020, pp. 3). The advantage of using this OS is that it is free and does not require any licenses and it is highly cost effective. Linux is not much exposed to viruses and it does not require installation of any Antivirus software. The disadvantage is that most of the applications commonly used are not available for Linux. It does not provide the platform that can be widely used for gaming and other developments.
Specific Hardware requirements of Linux OS:
· Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC
· RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB)
· Hard disk space: 4-5 GB
Mac OS is the operating system that is used in every Mac PC and...
