Plagiarism, paraphrasing and downloading large amountsof information from external sources, will not be tolerated and will be dealt with severely. Althoughyou should make full use of any source material, which would normally be an occasional sentenceand/or paragraph (referenced) followed by your own critical analysis/evaluation. You will receive nomarks for work that is not your own. Your work may be subject to checks for originality which caninclude use of an electronic plagiarism detection service.Where you are asked to submit an individual piece of work, the work must be entirely your own. Thesafety of your assessments is your responsibility. You must not permit another student to access yourwork.Where referencing is required, unless otherwise stated, the Harvard referencing system must be used(see your Programme Guide).Please ensure that you retain a duplicate of your assignment. We are required to send samples ofstudent work to the external examiners for moderation purposes. It will also safeguard in the unlikelyevent of your work going astray.Submission Date & Time According to published scheduleSubmission Location By electronic submission via CanvasCETM51 – Assignment 1 – Worth 60% of module markScenario:In this assignment you will be playing the part of a computer hardware and networking consultantfor a firm known as “Fit For Purpose Computers” – FFPC.“Britesparks Imaging” is a new customer for your firm which specialises in CGI-based televisionadvertising. They have been very successful so far and they now wish to expand their animationcreation operation so they can adequately service more of their customers.They will need to have new desktop PCs designed, some servers and their network needs to beconfigured to link all their systems together.For the new PCs, they need 30 units which need to be capable of running NewTek’s famousLightwave 3D – their most up to date version.Each PC will need at least 2 display screens with an option for adding a third – any graphics cardchoices must allow provision for this. Also, provision should be made to ensure that the animatorsusing these systems are able to use these systems comfortably and in line with health and safetyrequirements for the usage of such equipment.They also need to have 2 file server units which will act as a central animation frame storage facilityand its “mirror” backup. Only rudimentary display hardware is needed for these, as they will, forthe most part, be accessed remotely rather than directly in day-to-day operation.These systems (animation PCs and servers) need to be added to their existing line up of PCs on theircompany network.ASSIGNMENT TASKS – Report size no more than 4500 words:Part 1: For the systems designs:1. Specify and design suitable PCs for the video animators (30 machines), ensuring that: All units conform to all the software requirements for running the most up-to-dateversion of NewTek Lightwave 3D. A suitable operating system license is selected and included for each machine. You supply a full and detailed justification as to why each component has been selectedover its competitors. All health, safety and environmental issues are covered. Suitable security features for safeguarding their data on these systems is included.? You provide full costing for these machines without exceeding a budget of ￡2500 perunit. [25 Marks]2. Specify and design the 2 file servers suitable for being the “master” and “mirror” animationframe stores. Ensure that: They have a suitable network operating system with all appropriate licensing sorted outfor the number of clients accessing them (to match the 30 animation machines). You also supply full justification as to why each component has been chosen. Any environmental computing requirements are satisfied as much as possible. You include discussion and recommendations as to how the server mirroring is supposedto operate – including any additional software that would be needed.? Suitable security features are present to keep data safe. You provide full costing for these machines without exceeding a budget of ￡3000 perunit. [25 Marks]Part 2: The network:The company is split between three distinct sites. One is in London, one in Liverpool and the other islocated in Newcastle.1. Whilst ensuring that these technologies do actually exist between the sites, compare andcontrast any suitable Wide Area Network (WAN) technologies (including public networks)which could be used to securely join the sites together as one network. Makerecommendations based on your findings (please omit any technologies that are notavailable between the sites – don’t waste report space on these). [15 Marks]2. Draw a simple schematic diagram displaying the different technologies used in linking thesites. [5 Marks]3. Create sample IP scheme tables to cater for the London and Newcastle sites below. Providea full table for IPv4 and an example of how this could be done with IPv6 instead.London NewcastleDepartment Users Department UsersManagementSound EngineersAnimators231244ManagementSound EngineersMarketingAnimators7143578 [20 Marks]4. As the animation sequences have to be kept safe and away from competitors while inproduction, strong security measures will need to be implemented to defend against hackerattacks and other risks. Compare and contrast methods of defending the company networksboth between the sites and within them. Make some recommendations on what you thinkthe company should implement, making full justification for your choices. [10 Marks]PLEASE TAKE SPECIAL NOTE: As a responsible employee of FTPC – dedicated to the best value for your clients, you need toensure that your specifications are based both on performance and economy. Any specifications which are clouded by “marketing hype” will cause a loss of up to 20 marksfrom the overall assignment mark. The unjustifiable inclusion of any unnecessary/surplus parts/software may also cause anadditional loss of up to 10 marks. You may assume that cost is no object for staff training (and is not in your budget). REALLY IMPORTANT! You are not allowed to specify any ready-built or off-the-shelf PCs orservers (the only exception being the laptops). Inclusion of such hardware will result in theloss of all 25 marks from your PC or server sections. You may use any reasonable source of machine components for your locality. Howeverthere must be evidence of the price lists for these included as an appendix to your submission. Do make sure that where requested, you do actually make recommendations about thetechnologies for the company to employ – don’t lose marks for leaving these items out.本团队核心人员组成主要包括BAT一线工程师，精通德英语！我们主要业务范围是代做编程大作业、课程设计等等。我们的方向领域：window编程 数值算法 AI人工智能 金融统计 计量分析 大数据 网络编程 WEB编程 通讯编程 游戏编程多媒体linux 外挂编程 程序API图像处理 嵌入式/单片机 数据库编程 控制台 进程与线程 网络安全 汇编语言 硬件编程 软件设计 工程标准规等。其中代写编程、代写程序、代写留学生程序作业语言或工具包括但不限于以下范围:C/C++/C#代写Java代写IT代写Python代写辅导编程作业Matlab代写Haskell代写Processing代写Linux环境搭建Rust代写Data Structure Assginment 数据结构代写MIPS代写Machine Learning 作业 代写Oracle/SQL/PostgreSQL/Pig 数据库代写/代做/辅导Web开发、网站开发、网站作业ASP.NET网站开发Finance Insurace Statistics统计、回归、迭代Prolog代写Computer Computational method代做因为专业，所以值得信赖。如有需要，请加QQ：99515681 或邮箱：99515681@qq.com 微信：codehelp
