...computing, including distributed virtual services, is an evolving paradigm that is fundamentally and rapidly changing communication services and infrastructure. The diversity of these services and the underlying infrastructure has itself produced different perspectives. In general, most of the many forums dealing with cloud computing have found common ground in the following description (Special Publication 800-145, The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing, Sept 2011 [x])” ( ETSI DTR 101 567 V0.0.5 Lawful Interception (LI);Cloud/Virtual Services (CLI) [y]. Definition of “Cloud Computing” According to NIST: “Cloud Computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models.” Cloud Essential Characteristics • On-demand...

...Zenmap Specs * Supported Operating systems: Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD * Cost: Free * Requirements: Nmap Who’s it for? Zenmap is for any network or security administrator who needs to keep a constant check on their network topology. With it’s next-to-zero learning curve, just about any network administrator can have all of the information they need quickly. Zenmap will work for any size company or even a single-user consultancy, where a quick scan of a network topology can make the difference between spotting a security issue and finding a resolution or, well…not. What problem does it solve? There are two very key issues Zenmap solves. One is making the more-challenging Nmap scanner useable for the average administrator. Nmap is a console-only tool and the majority of administrators do not want to spend their day at the console (with a nod to the old-school Linux and UNIX admins who would much rather spend their day at the command line than in a GUI tool). Zenmap also gives the administrator a topology mapping tool where they can actually see an interactive, animated visualization of the hosts on your network. Key features * Free * Easy-to-use GUI * Quickly saves scans * Uses traceroute and ping * Saves profiles for frequent run tests * Topology mapping * Compares scan results of different scans * Runs multiple scans and views them as one big scan * Plenty of default scan profiles to choose from * Searches scan results...

...My Dream Job I guess my dream job would be a combination of things. I don’t like just sitting at a desk. I need to get up and move around. I guess it would be a helpdesk role along with a systems administrator and a network administrator. I enjoy working with people hence the helpdesk role. I like the freedom to move around of the helpdesk role. Network administration is the most challenging of the roles. System admin is probably the most mundane of all. The helpdesk requires you to go to a person’s desk and interact with them. In the network admin role you work with the different devices. You may have to troubleshoot a connectivity issue, install a device, and configure the device. In the system admin role you mostly create user accounts, set shares and permissions, create e-mail accounts. To be able to land this type of job I will have to update some of my credentials. Probably go to college for at least an associate’s or maybe a bachelor’s degree. A lot of job advertisements I am seeing are requiring those now. I have experience but no degree. I need to renew my CCNA certification. That entails either going to classes or studying online. Going to classes would be the best because it would go toward a degree and give some hands on experience. The same applies to my A+ certification. Some of the other certifications also need refreshing. At my age I wonder if it would be worth the effort of working toward a degree. It would take over two years to complete...

...hard economy nursing homes have to make cuts, and unfortunately they are cutting all in the wrong places. Many times office jobs in the nursing home are the last to be cut and the nurse aides are the first to be cut, and the reason being is because many states do not have laws stating the aide to resident ratio. Today, a local nursing home has just got a new hope in recovering the problem of the loss of success that their nursing home has encountered. They have begun to cut nurse aides and have begun to run the halls short-handed, unfortunately their complaints have went up and their residents have become very unhappy. The nursing home has now decided to fire the current administrator and hire a new administrator in hope for new ideas and better success for their nursing home. Although the new administrator has many difficult problems to solve she has a lot of faith in recovering the problem the nursing home is now encountering. The new administrated began looking through past experiences working in a nursing home as a nurse aide. She remember the hard work that was endure every day, and how every resident depended on those few nurse aides that work on each hall. To be a nurse aide you have to have the heart and love for each every resident, and this administrated motto was “treat every resident as you...

There is a chart covering the annual income of some of the careers in the field. As well as a chart that covers the annual total cost of tuition and fees for some of the best online schools. Professional Language and Culture Report What is Information Technology (IT)? IT is an acronym for “Information Technology” and you pronounce it by saying the letters individually. IT is anything related to computing such as the internet, hardware, software, networking, and even the people it takes to operate and maintain the systems. Almost all large companies have their own IT department that manage the computers, servers, networks, security, and anything else that falls into their area of expertise (Techterms, 2011). Culture According to a blog, by La Salle, “Culture has been a constant worry in the Information Technology (IT) field, since it has been observed that culture can influence on the success of IT adoption and usage” (2010). More often than not the professionals in the IT field go unnoticed until something goes wrong. What is really happening is they are behind the scenes operating and maintaining current systems as well as testing and implementing new ideas and technology into the field. The IT field is growing rapidly and is always looking for new professionals. Most of the information conveyed in this field comes through knowledge and...

...Career Choice: Network and Computer Systems Administrator Business and Writing for the IT Professional July 26, 2009 Abstract A network and systems administrator is responsible for network security, installing new applications, implementing software updates, monitoring the integrity of the system, developing management programs, and performing routine backups. As has been noted throughout my research, there has been a decline in technology majors throughout the past couple of years, thus affecting the job market. The survey that was conducted on high school seniors, as well as research done by some universities, has proven that lack of information and interest affects this type of career choice. By properly informing potential technology students and offering them resources, we can better equip our future system and network administrators to perform to their potential. Topic Proposal Author Background An interest in computers came to my attention shortly after graduating from high school. I first involved myself in working with cameras and fixing them for several customers. The satisfying knowledge that I gained came from realizing that I could take apart, fix a piece of technology and do it well. Computers as a hobby came only after my brother gave me one to fix and keep for my use. Although I was daunted at first, I took apart and drew diagrams, to remember where the components where located. I had no previous experience from computers that I had learned...

...Ellery Corley NT 1230 Wednesday Unit 4. Exercise 1 User-Profile Scenario From: Systems Administrator To: Manager I have reviewed your email inquiry and have the following recommendations. 1. Interns should not have the level of access that allows the changing of their workstations. Thus all interns will be combined into a group for restricted access. This group will be given standard access, not allowing for any changes to workstation unless authorized by System Administrator. This includes the changing of their password every 60 days. 2. Team leads need to have access to their files from any workstation. Thusly, all team leads will be assigned roaming user profiles. This will allow any team lead to access any work station at their convenience as long as the computer is on the network. This will also require team leads to lock or sign out of a work station when they are not using it. Due to the level of access and availability of said access, Team Lead passwords will be set to be changed every 30 days. 3. Since to Marketing Staff have dedicated work stations, they will be added to an ACL, and be designated user rights applicable to their needs. As System Admin, I do understand the need for access to applications, storage, the network, and the ability to change and customize as needed. Due to the level of access that the Marketing Staff will be assigned, they will be required to change their passwords every 30 days. They will be given a list...
