Assessment Task
In this assessment, you are required to apply the theories and knowledge you have learned in Modules 5 to 7 to analyse the computer operating system, hardware, and software requirements and write a 1000-words report. You should include screenshots of the steps you took in performing the tasks.
Please refer to the Instructions for details on how to complete this task.
Context
In each organisation, the IT department is responsible to provide support related to computer hardware, software, network management, applications update, and keep the system running seamlessly that improves the organisation’s overall performance, production, and bring better return of the revenue. Due to the recent rapid business requirements changes like high-performance computer hardware /software applications and secure from the cyber-attacks, the operating system keeps updates itself. If these updates are done on time, then, the system performance improves, and systems are also prevented from malware attacks. These changes can be done weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually.
In this assessment, you are to demonstrate your understanding of the structure of modern operating systems, including types, features, and functions, and identify how these operating systems facilitate computer system components to work in the report.
Instructions
There are four tasks that you need to complete for Assessment 2. For each task, take note of the following:
• Each task carries an equal mark
• Answer all the questions for each task
• You should provide screenshots as supporting evidence
• For each task, the answer may be within the range of 250 words. When answering the questions for each task, it is important to note the total number of words.
Tasks:
1) Visit the Web site of a major operating system vendor and identify the patches that were issued in the last 12 months.
a. For each patch, find its criticality and size.
b. Then, as if you were assigned the task of installing these patches as manager of your company, decide the timing for their installation.
c. How many patches would you install immediately, and which ones could wait for the next patch cycle (assuming a four-per-year cycle)? Cite your sources appropriately.
2) You are given an opportunity to perform a software inventory of your (or your colleague’s) computer system to identify all applications resident on the computer.
a. If there are more than a dozen applications, choose 12 of them and check each for patches that are available for your software.
b. For each vendor, identify how many patches are available for that software, the number of critical patches, and what patch cycle you would recommend for that vendor’s patches: annual, quarterly, monthly, or weekly updates.
3) Perform an inventory of your (or your colleague’s) computer system to discover how many processes are active when it is connected to the Internet.
a. What is the total number of processes currently running?
b. For which processes can you identify the application?
c. How many processes are linked to applications that you cannot identify?
4) Describe how you would convince a co-worker to better manage a personal computer by performing regular backups and keeping the system patches. Compare and contrast availability and reliability. In your opinion, which is more important to a system manager?
Referencing
It is essential that you use appropriate APA style. for citing and referencing research. Please see more information on referencing in theAcademic Skills webpage.
Submission Instructions
Your submission should contain the answers to tasks stated in the Assessment brief. Save your answer as a .pdf file and submit your assessment via the Assessment 2 link in the main navigation menu in the CAO107 Computer architecture and operating systems Blackboard portal. The file should be named with your first name, last name, and the subject code. For example: CAO107_LastnameFirstname_A2.pdf
Your Learning Facilitator will provide feedback via the Grade Centre in the LMS portal. Grade Centre Feedback can be viewed in My Grades.
Note: Your Learning Facilitator may have cause to alter these requirements slightly for packaging and delivering your finished work. It is important you attend or watch class streams, keep track of Blackboard announcements/emails and, if in doubt, ask questions of your Learning Facilitator well before the final due date.
Before you submit your assessment, please ensure you have read and understand the conditions outlined in the Academic Integrity Code Handbook. If you are unsure about anything in the Handbook, please reach out to your Learning Facilitator.
Academic Integrity
All students are responsible for ensuring that all work submitted is their own and is appropriately referenced and academically written according to theAcademic Writing Guide. Students also need to have read and be aware of the Torrens University Australia Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure
and subsequent penalties for academic misconduct. These areviewable online.
Students also must keep a copy of all submitted material and any assessment drafts.
Special Consideration
To apply for special consideration for a modification to an assessment or exam due to unexpected or extenuating circumstances, please consult the Assessment Policy for Higher Education Coursework and ELICOSand, if applicable to your circumstance, submit a completed Application for Assessment Special Consideration Formto your Learning Facilitator.
