2INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTERS
Hardware:
The first thing that Bill will need is two PC. One is for server and one is for client (that is
Bill). As the main accounting software system will be implemented online, the system can be
directly connected by the devices connected to the same switch. The configuration of the Server
PC is 4 terabytes of non-volatile storage. Bill needs three terabyte of data but four terabyte is
suggested for future use if the catalogue is updated or new restaurant joins Bill’s business
("Hardware Requirements | SapphireOne ERP Accounting Software", 2019). The PC server will
have Intel Xeon process with 32 GB of ram. A firewall is essential, the firewall must be
hardware so that proper security can be established in the network. The client PC will have a
monitor. The PC will have Intel i7 8th generation processor and 32GB ram. Bill will need mouse
and keyboard to control the PC. The network will use Network Ethernet 100/1000/10000 Base T
Switching or Managed Hub, Cat 6e copper UTP or greater Cabling (Jagroep et al., 2017).
