TasksThere are ten (10) tasks, one for each week: the tasks are detailed below.There is a table to complete each task. Please fill in the information required.An example of a completed task is below. Note the first response is good –so aim for something like this. The second response is not acceptable, so ifyou submit anything like it, you won’t pass the assignment! The reasons?Poor resource selection (Wikipedia), no Harvard reference and a block cutand paste from the site (no citation, no original content).ExampleTaskFind two resources that explain aspects of IT ServiceManagement. (GoodResponse)TitleandReference:COBIT versus ITILIbaraki, S 2014, online,COBIT versus ITIL, viewed 29/01/2015,<http://blogs.technet.com/b/cdnitmanagers/archive/2014/04/06/cobit-versus-itil.aspx>.Summary:This resource is a blog entry discussing the differencesbetween CoBIT and ITIL. I chose this resource as there is a lotof confusion about the way in which ITSM is applied, and thedistinction between the CoBIT and ITIL implementations isfrequently unclear. Ibaraki explains that CoBIT provides thegovernance and metric structures while ITIL delivers on theactual mechanics and “how-to” processes. The author makesan interesting observation that it is wrong to simplify COBIT asproviding the ‘why’ and ITIL providing the ‘how’ because bothITSM mechanisms have considerable overlap and both need tobe used at the same time. I found this article very useful inexplaining the differences and similarities between these twoaspects of ITSM.(BadResponse)TitleandReference:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IT_service_managementSummary:This page talks about ITSM. It says that IT servicemanagement(ITSM) refers to the entirety of activities –directed bypolicies, organized and structured inprocessesandsupportingprocedures– that are performed by an organizationor part of an organization to plan, deliver, operate and controlIT services offered to customers.It is thus concerned with theimplementation of quality IT services that meet the needs ofcustomers and is performed by the IT service provider through
an appropriate mix of people, process and informationtechnology. Note: Each resource summary should be a maximum of 300 words.Week 1TaskThe past decade has witnessed tremendous advances incomputing, wired and wireless communication, and storagetechnologies. Discuss the main features and applications oftwo mass storage technologies namely: direct-attachedstorage and network-attached storage.SummaryTitle and Reference:Title: NAS vs. SAN vs. DAS: Which Is Right for You? -SeagateReference: Paulsen, J. and Paulsen, J. 2018.NAS vs. SAN vs. DAS: Which Is Right for You? - Seagate. [online] Seagate. Available at: https://blog.seagate.com/business/nas-vs-san-vs-das-which-is-right-for-you/ [Accessed 25 Jan. 2018].Summary:The article describes the applications of direct-attachedstorage (DAS) and network-attached storage (NAS)elaborately. Paulsen, the author of this article explainsnumerous functionalities and features of NAS and DAS. Ifind this article quite informative and it explains DAS andNAS’s major features. DAS is known to provide the basicfunctionalities. Any organisations can get cost-effectiveservice with the help of DAS. Low maintenance is requiredfor DAS as well. The IT infrastructures can be facilitated bythe usage of DAS, any organisation those who want toenhance their growth within a short period must take upDAS. DAS is applicable to small business. It is known tofacilitate the low budget project. Paulsen further illustratesthat DAS also facilitates those projects that have very little ITsupport. However, there are certain drawbacks of DAS. DASis not applicable to large business. The large business whichneeds growth within a short period of time will not bebenefitted by the adaptation of DAS. The author of thisarticle also explains about the Network-attached storage.NAS basically involves sharing of files over the internet.NAS, unlike DAS, is applicable to a business that has little ITsupport. The organisations those who want reliable, as wellas a flexible storage system, must take up the NAS. As perPaulsen, NAS is best suited for SMPs. The largeorganisations those who want to scale up the business mustadopt the NAS. NAS provides easy solutions and reliablesolutions during system failure. There is a drawback of NAS.
Network-attached storage is not capable to transfer data inlarge number. I find this article helpful in knowing the detailsof the DAS and NAS. I get to know where DAS can be usedand where NAS can be used.Week 2TaskReal-time operating systems are operating systems thatguarantee a certain capability within a specified timeconstraint. Discuss the main benefits of real-time operatingsystems for the health sector.SummaryTitle and Reference:Title: 10 Benefits of IoT for Healthcare and HospitalsReference: 10 Benefits of IoT for Healthcare and Hospitals, 2018. [online] Available at: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/10-benefits-iot-healthcare-hospitals-abhinav-shrivastava [Accessed 25 Jan. 2018].Summary:The article illustrates in details the beneficial aspects of theInternet of Things (IoT) and Real-Time Operating SystemReal Time Operating system (RTOSes) in the health sector. Ifind this article suitable and it explains the impacts of IoT andRTOSes in the health sector. The IoT device can run onRTOSes thus RTOSes can improvise the IoT medicaldevice’s performance in the healthcare sector. Abhinavstates that effective patient engagement can be achieved bythe usage of RTOSes and IoT. The patients with the aid ofthe device and the software can access the importantinformation about health. The patients with the help of awebsite and mobile app can acknowledge their healthconditions. The real-time data of the patients can beacquired by the healthcare managers with the help of IoTdevices. Apple Watch and other similar health bands run onRTOSes are all IoT devices that are capable to provide real-time data of the patients. The fitness freak people canacknowledge how fit they are with the help of IoT devices.The IoT devices run on RTOSes measure blood pressure aswell as sugar level of the patients. Therefore, the patientscan diagnose their health at home with the help of RTOSesdevices and they do not have to visit the doctors. Accordingto the author, with the assistance of IoT, continuous health-check-up can be conducted. Thus the health sector canprovide a cost-effective error-free diagnosis to the patientssitting at home. IoT-enabled devices like IoT-eyeglasses,IoT-hearing device run on RTOSes. These devices canfacilitate the patients of the health sector. I read this articleand find out how RTOSes devices are facilitating health
