INTRODUCTION
Operating system is software which allows user to execute applications. It acts as a
interface between user and hardware. Network operating system is an operating system which
connects devices and computer to local area network (Network Operating System (NOS), 2018).
This report covers requirement of vendor, hardware specifications and installation of client and
server operating system. It also provides joining of computer with server and describing risks
involved in it. Approximate analysis of cost and role of manager is discussed. Backup followed
by storage requirements are covered by implementing RAID system. Performance of monitoring,
event logs and different tools used in it are analyzed.
TASK 1
1.1 Describe a network operating system in terms of vendor’s specification and hardware
compatibility.
Network operating system: For network device like switch, routers, hub or firewall a
specific operating system is required, it is known as network operating system. For providing
printer access and shared file between multiple computers present within network an operating
system is is connected to computer networking(Anderson and Vongpanitlerd, 2013).
Vendor's specification: Toner partner limited is small company looking for expansion of
its organization for which they need to hire 50 employees for which they require client and
server operating system for accumulating 50 client systems.
Hardware compatibility:
 Processor: Minimum 2GHz or higher
 RAM: 16GB
 Hard Drive: 250 GB or more
 Monitor: 19'' LCD, desktop only
 Operating System: Windows 8 or higher
 Backup Device: USB Flash drive or External hard drive
 Wireless adapter (Wi-Fi) or Ethernet connection (LAN)
Above are hardware specifications to handle vendors' requirement. All specifications mentioned
above are enough for efficiently expanding organization.
