Activity 1
 The infinity cars are a local car dealer and they are looking to expand their business. The
business presently operates from two lock up garages and the records of the clients are
kept in the notebook of the manager associating to the sales and stocks. The components
of the computer systems that are networkable and that can be implemented in the Infinity
cars. The components of the computer systems that can be used in the organization of the
Infinity Cars include servers, clients, media of transmission, shared printers, shared data
and other peripherals, local operating systems, network interface cards, Hub, network
operating systems, Switch, routers and LAN cables.
 The network infrastructure is an element of the structure of IT that is created in most of
the environments of IT of Enterprise. The whole infrastructure of network is
interconnected and it can be utilised for the external and the internal communications or
both. A typical infrastructure of network comprises of the hardware of networking,
networking software and the network services.
The networking hardware comprises of routers, switches, wireless routers, LAN cards and
cables. The Networking software consists of operating systems, firewall, applications of
security of network and management and operations of network. The network services
consist of DSL, Satellite, wireless protocols, T-1 Line and IP addressing.
 The assessment of the components in the computer system include:
Servers: the servers are the type of computers that takes the folders and files those are shared,
operating systems and programs of network. The servers offer right of entry to the assets of
network to every users that uses the network.

Clients: The clients are computers who utilise and then access shared assets of network and
also the network.
Transmission media: The media of transmission are the facilities that are utilised in order to
connect the computers that are present is an network.
Shared data: the shared data are the data that the servers of files provides to the clients such
as files of data
Shared printers and other peripherals: the printers those are shared and the peripherals are
resources of hardware that are offered to the end users by servers to the network.
Network Interface Card: every computer that is present network has a card those are special
known as network interface card
Local operating system: An operating system that is local permits the computers in order to
print to a printer that is local, access the files and the do the other activities.
Network operating system: The network operating system is type of program that
executes on servers and computers in order to communicate over the network.
 Various types of peripherals are required in order to meet various purposes. The printers,
keyboard, scanners, monitor and mouse. These peripheral devices are important for the
employees of the organization. These are the primary peripheral devices and should be in
every office or organization. There are also peripheral devices that are used by the
organizations such as external hard disks, flash drives and zip disk drives.
Activity 2
 The various types of operating systems include
1. Simple batch system
2. Multiprogramming batch system

3. Multiprocessor system
4. Desktop system
5. Distributed system
6. Clustered system
7. Realtime operating system
8. Handheld system
The management of resources is the allocation that is dynamic and de-allocation by
an operating system of cores of processors, pages of memory, and the different kinds of
bandwidth to computations that compete for those resources. The aim is to assign assets in
order to optimize subject of responsiveness to the limited assets those are available.
 The different types of software applications that can be used to meet requirements of the
clients include proof hub, StudioCloud and Zoho one. Zoho one is the most appropriate
because it will have all the answers about the needs of the clients. The needs of the cloud
include the model of cars, the various prices, and the features of the cars. The software
will help the clients to choose the cars that have the best features in very low price that is
value for money. The software will meet the needs of the clients and help the clients to
choose the best car among the cars that are sold by the Company.
 The user experience applications that are used in order to upgrade the experience of the
user that the client could use are Behance, Awwwards and Dribbble. Behance is a
platform that allows many people with the careers of web design. It can be used in order
to upgrade the user experience of the website of the infinity cars. It will be useful to the
infinity cars because it will provide proper features to the user experience such as design
and security.

Awwards is a web development and design. It aims to identify and then promote the best
of the innovative design of the web. The features of Awwards is that is provides security and
it has proper tools in order to upgrade the experience of the user. Then it can be
recommended to the company of Infinity cars. The user experience of the website of infinity
cars will be upgraded and it will be very useful to clients as the user experience of the website
of the company will be upgraded and the clients can easily search the cars that they are
searching and the functionality of the website of the infinity cars company will be increased.
Dribbble is a networking platform for the digital designers and it is one of the largest
platforms for the designers in order to share their work online. It can increase the user
experience of the website and it provides security, mobility and the connectivity of the
website. The website will look good on creating with Dribbble and it will meet the
requirements of the clients. This application will enhance the user experience by providing
more designs to the website and more functionalities to the website and it will help the clients
to search the cars very easily as the website will be simple and can be used very easily by the
clients.
