Week 1
The text discusses examples of traditional mass storage such as magnetic disk and
solid-state drives. While these still underpin most mass storage, in corporate
environments they are often accessed via Network Attached Storage (NAS) or
Storage Area Network (SAN) technologies. Find and summarise ONE resource that
describes EITHER NAS or SAN storage technologies. The resource, and your
summary, must focus on either NAS or SAN, NOT BOTH.
Title and Reference: Security Enhancement in Wireless Menu Card with
Network Attached Storage

Card with Network Attached Storage. IITM Journal of Management and IT, 7(1),

Summary:
The essence of this elected resource identifies the role of Network Attached Storage
(NAS) in enhancing the security of wireless menu card.. It has been determined that,
development of different portable devices and cellular technology together offers
potential framework of various business applications. This resource demonstrates
how the security of a food menu chain can be enhanced more after incorporating a
NAS to it. This technology is mainly used to operate large data storage area. This
system will utilize wi fi storage which will be virtually implemented through cloud
storage. The customers of the system are allowed to use personal digital assistance
like smart mobile phones, laptops, tablets etc for booking order. In order words, it can
be said that successful implementation of the system will provide security, reliability,
flexibility, scalability and portability as well. Apart from that, this application can also
save the time and money both during the application. The chances of man made
errors also get reduced with this application. The system gives a better
communication channel between the project owners and the clients. The current
business process of the company also changes a lot because of the changing
pattern of information access from the system. The wireless connection also
supports the framework and web application. The five details applications that are
done by the admin with this application include admin access, login, menu update,
details checking and logout.
Week 2
Operating systems use file managers to interact with mass storage devices.
However, the way in which data is stored and retrieved is dictated by the file system.
There are many types of file systems used by modern operating systems. Find and
summarise ONE resource that describes ONE such file system that is NOT FAT,
FAT32 or ExFAT. The resource, and your summary, must focus on A SINGLE file
system.
Title and Reference: A new file system for flash storage.

storage. In 13th {USENIX} Conference on File and Storage Technologies ({FAST}

15) (pp. 273-286).
Summary:
This resource sis selected for this section as it demonstrates the details of F2FS, a
new file system mainly used for the flash storage. This fine system is build up on the
basis of appends logging and the key design level decisions are made keeping in
mind the characteristics of flash storage. The resource elaborates the details ideas of
its design, data structure, resulting expected performance and algorithm as well.
Different level experiments are being conducted to understand the application ad
expectation from the file system. The results will highlight all desirable performance
for the F2FS based on the state of art mobile system. The resource also elaborates
the outperformance of EXT4 under the synthetic workload which applicable up to
iozone and SQlite. It is also determined that the excessive timeline for several
workload can be reduced by almost 40% with the file system. In any kind of server
system the application of F2FS is much better than the EXT4. However, it is
determined that random writes is not good for the flash storage devices. The
developers are required to design and develop a completely new file system to
leverage the usage of NAND flash solution. Overall the resources discusses the
details benefits that can be obtained with this application

Week 3
The National Broadband Network (NBN) is currently being rolled-out across Australia
and there is a mix of technologies that are being used to deliver Internet services (for
example, FTTN, FTTC, FTTP, HFC, fixed wireless and satellite). Find and
summarise ONE resource that describes ONE of these delivery technologies. The
resource, and your summary, must focus on A SINGLE technology.
Title and Reference: The national broadband network: What difference will it
make to broadband availability in Australia
Sübspeck, S., Campbell, L.H. and Hinton, K., 2018. The national broadband network:
What difference will it make to broadband availability in Australia?. Australian Journal
of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy, 6(1), p.1.

Summary:
The content of this particular selected resource identifies the application of FTTN
technology. It has been has been identified that with the application of this
technology huge difference will occur in the broadband availability in Australia. The
FTTN nodes are used to give broadband connections and also other data services
via a common network box that is known as node. More than any other optic line it
can transfer more data with much security. It used coaxial or else twisted paired
cable to give delivery to multiple numbers of consumers The broadband service
providers of Australia offers bottom up analysis of broadband availability in Australia
without and with NBN. The availability of the broadband services is considered based
on speed access and continuous evolvement. It is identified that the initial
deployment took place in the year of 2010 and the entire planning as changed by
2013 with multi technology mix approach with Fibre to the Node and broadband
satellite. The FTTN and fixed wireless gives a maximum of access speed. It also
elaborates that the only large scale FTTN deployment in other Canberra suburbs
was the Transact network. The resource also elaborates that, like others here als0o
the FTTN is designed and developed for delivering data services with the help of a
common pillar and network box. The process combines the concept of both existing
and current technologies.
Week 4
The Internet is made up of many interconnected servers and networks. Users are
increasingly aware and concerned that their Internet communications can be
intercepted and monitored. Tor is one technology that allows users to obscure or
hide online their online activities. Find and summarise ONE resource that describes
what Tor is and how it works. The resource, and your summary, must focus purely on
Tor.

TOR network
