Component Recommendation
Processor
(Manufacturer, model
and speed )
Intel processor Core i3, i5 and i7, intended for
personal computers. The i3 running at speeds
beginning at 1.6 GHz. The i7 processors are
Intel's superior models, the quickest of which
keeps running at 3.8 GHz. this is the favored
processor.
Memory The memory is the crucial part of the system. I

would recommend dynamic memory since the
use of static memory cause a lot of memory to
be lost. Dynamic memory helps us allocate
memory only when requires thus preferred.
Hard drive SEAGATE BarraCuda provides the best hard
drive with a capacity of 2TB. The drive is
combines 7,200rpm platters and also a high
data density this allows the drive to be able to
read data quickly.
CD ROM DVD (Read,
Read/Write, Speed)
Quicker speed implies better execution, and
better execution ordinarily converts into time
reserve funds while ripping sight and sound
off a plate to your hard drive or onto another
circle. A 1x rating on CD-ROMs implies 150
KB/s, while 1x on DVDs remains for
1,385,000 bytes/sec or 1.32 MB/s. These
paces apply to both read and compose action.
In principle, a 24x drive is a whole lot
superior to anything a 16x model since it
exchanges 31.68 MB/s as opposed to 21.12
MB/s. By and by, it's not all that
straightforward any longer.
USB Port : (Number,

IP ADDRESSING TO ENSURE DATA SECURITY
Utilizing IP addresses as a type of identification is a typical practice, and in light of current
circumstances. IP address use in ACLs and routing is typical. After managers utilize a job based
location task, there will be new methods or ways through which they can actualize extra security
controls. Administrators can use efficiencies in security controls all through the system after IP
addresses have been doled out utilizing a job based approach. These efficiencies won't take into
consideration more brief arrangements, yet will likewise expel the blunder inclined nature of
"one-off" manual setups.
