, INTRODUCTION
In this assignment I have to write a report to the manager, for description of the purpose
and client requirement for the hardware, on the other hand I should consider the
(compatibility, increased capacity increased speed, increased reliability); to fulfil the needs
of the manager.
I have to produce a plan as well for installing and maintaining in technology system as well
as I will produce a detailed plan including reason why alternative idea for hardware and
upgradation.
I’m going to describe the hardware components as well as software resources required to
make an upgrade. Also, I’m going to describe and explain the tools as well as techniques
that I add to my plan.
Read the brief provided by the client. Write a report for your manager to summarise the
brief. Describe the purpose (e.g. compatibility, increased capacity, increased speed,
increased reliability, software requirements, or network requirements) of each of the
requests made and state what the client requirements are for this system.
The Requirements.
My client has requested the need of high spec monitors designed for photo editing so they
could see images better and in realistic colours, for example 4k resolution monitors (not
necessarily). This would give them the best photo view on screen.
As it is small business company I have been told about the importance of bigger storage
across multiple laptops and desktops. This would allow them to store all of the high-quality
data for client that they would create and design as well as large files.
, (For laptops: I would recommend to buy additional external drives. They are easy to use and
can be connected by any USB port. They are usually small and can be taken home which
means they can be very useful as can be used anywhere.
Compression is another way to save storage. You can simply compress the file to make it
smaller and decompress it to its original form when needed. The good thing about
compressing files is that it does not delete anything and is very easy to use.)
The client has requested a good quality graphics card (which is designed for photo editing)
that will allow them to view, create and edit all of the images up to the highest
performance. This must be a high spec graphics card that will give the best performance
when creating images.
One of the most important requests was a fast, reliable and easy to use backup storage that
will allow the company backup their work. Easy, fast and frequently use of the backup
storage in case of losing created work is essential for company. Once again, I would
recommend to use external hard drives.
RAM memory was another important requirement. My client asks for plenty of RAM, where
in laptops it is between 8GB to 16GB and on the desktops machines it is 16GB to 32GB of
installable RAM.
I will also upgrade the PSU (power supply) for the desktops from 220W to 500W as the
current PSU is too weak to effectively power the computer and its components. Computer
needs much more power for the components to work more efficiently and to be able to run
all the programs.
Finally, my client(manager) explained me that the graphics cards as well as hard drives will
face with a lot of heavy use throughout the working week. My client requested for both
graphics cards and hard drives to be tested to make sure there will not be any problems
when in use. As the hard drives and graphics cards are very important for my client we need
to take all the possible issues into the account. Broken graphics card means that there might
be some visual distortions on the screen. Invalid hard drive might not let you save anything
what you would create.
I’m going to provide a report for the manager to describe and summarise the purpose of
compatibility, increase capacity, increase speed, reliability, software requirement or
network requirement.
The manager who has a small company business with employees who use technology
system, and they would like to work with the client more efficient and faster, possible to
increase the experience of the user. Also, the manager would like good computer system
and network management to be good as well as good communication system and to provide
both sets of costumers with relevant information.
The way we’re going to improve the system is by the follow!
