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.
