ICTICT514 - Research and Review of Hardware for Ransford College

This report outlines an initial plan for developing an ICT-based environment at Ransford College, focusing on hardware components. It identifies potential suppliers and vendors for desktops, laptops, and projectors, including Umart, Scorptec, and Landmark Computer. The report reviews specific hardware choices like the Lenovo Ideapad 330 laptop, Lenovo Ideacentre 51OS-08IKL desktop, and EGATE i9 LED projector, evaluating their suitability for the organization's needs, including training and educational diversification. Risks such as hardware malfunction, short circuits, and malicious damage are identified, along with contingency plans involving strict adherence to product policies, computational risk estimation, and comprehensive system overviews by ICT specialists. The report concludes with a list of references used for research.

EVALUATION
• The devices would suit the needs of the
organisation
• These devices would also suit the training
needs
• The devices would also help in diversifying
the educational sector

RISKS
• The Hardware might not function properly
• Short circuit within the hardware system
• Malicious damage to the hardware
component

CONTINGENCY PLANS
• Each of the product policy should be strictly followed
• The computational risks should be properly estimated
• The ICT specialists should gain a complete overview of
the system procedures and check over the systems
