RIRs are Charged with managing the distribution of Internet number resources (IPv4 And IPv6 address space and Autonomous System Numbers) in their respective regions. ARIN, a nonprofit member-based organization, supports the operation of the Internet though the management of Internet number resources throughout its service region; coordinates the development of policies by the community for the management of Internet Protocol number resources; and advances the Internet through informational outreach. SOURCE: https://www.arin.net/ IANA The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is a department of ICANN responsible for coordinating some of the key elements that keep the Internet running smoothly. Whilst the Internet is renowned for being a worldwide network free from central coordination, there is a technical need for some key parts of the Internet to be globally coordinated, and this coordination role is undertaken by IANA. Specifically, IANA allocates and maintains unique codes and numbering systems that are used in the technical standards (“protocols”) that drive the Internet. IANA’s various activities can be broadly grouped in to three categories: * Domain Names IANA manages the DNS Root, the .int and .arpa domains, and an IDN practices resource. * Number Resources ...

...Regional Bell Operating Companies also known as RBOC’s . On January 8, 1982, AT&T Corp. settled the suit and agreed to divest its local exchange service operating companies. Local operations were split into seven independent Regional Bell Operating Companies known as "Baby Bells". RBOCs were originally known as Regional Holding Companies. Three companies have the RBOCs as predecessors ,they consist of of AT&T,Verizon and Century link. (princeton.edu, 2014) Incumbent local exchange carrier also commonly referred to as ILEC is a local telephone company during the break up of AT&T into RBOC’s. The ILEC is the former Bell System or Independent Telephone Company responsible for providing local telephone exchange services in a specified geographic area. GTE was the second largest ILEC after the Bells, but it has since been absorbed into Verizon, a RBOC. ILECs compete with competitive local exchange carriers (CLEC). When referring to the technical communities ILEC is often used just to mean a telephone provider. (princeton.edu, 2014) CLECs evolved from the competitive access providers (CAPs) that began to offer private line and special access services in competition with the ILECs beginning in 1985. The CAPs (such as Teleport Communications Group (TCG) and Metropolitan Fiber Systems (MFS)) deployed fiber optic systems in the central business districts of the largest U.S. cities (New York, Chicago, Boston, etc.) A number of state public utilities commissions, particularly...

A user asks you to troubleshoot his Windows 7 workstation, which is behaving erratically. He has recently purchased and installed a new graphics adapter, and ever since then, he sees occasional wavy lines in the display. You run Device Manager on the system and note the manufacturer, model, and version number of the device driver for the graphics adapter. Then, you check the adapter manufacturer’s web site and discover that there is a new driver available for the adapter. After downloading and installing the driver update, you restart the system. The system appears to start normally, except that the graphical interface has been replaced by incomprehensible noise. Because you can’t see the display, you can’t work with the system. What should you do return the computer to an operational state? The new graphic adapter is most likely interfering with current devices. Boot Windows 7 into safe mode, then use generic driver...

...of numbers to request information from a server or a client. You can get words or numbers to get the information from servers. Unit 8 Assignment 2 In Windows NT, when you make a change to the Security Accounts Manager, the change is applied directly to the Primary Domain Controller and is later replicated to each Backup Domain Controller. In an Active Directory multi-master replication environment, each domain controller contains a copy of Active Directory, not just the information for a single domain. When a change is made to Active Directory, the change is applied to whatever domain controller is the closest, and is then replicated to the remaining domain controllers. This prevents a designated Primary Domain Controller from being overburdened. Centralization sums up a primary reason for implementing Active Directory. The Active Directory structure makes it possible for you to achieve truly centralized management of users, regardless of how big the client’s network has become. In Windows NT a domain is a completely independent entity, and while it's possible to create a trust relationship between domains that exist on a common network, the domains are never truly integrated with each other because there is no higher authority that manages the domains. The domain level is the highest level of abstraction in Windows NT. The highest level of abstraction in Windows 2000 and 2003 Server is the “forest,” which is basically a collection of domains. Microsoft chose to call this Active...

...My hypothetical company is a small online gaming company called Game Zone. Seeing as how this is an online company, backing up of data and applications is crucial. The follow is the backup plan I would suggest. * The company should back up all online users profiles and gaming applications. I would also suggest redundant servers. * The rotation should be done every day due to the constant change of user profiles and the fact that new material is always being added to keep games up to date. Full backups should be done weekly with differential backups done daily. The full backup should be done at the start of every week at the lowest peak of online use and the next 6 days done with differential. * Seeing how this data is the life blood of the company it should be taken offsite daily. * If data on the current server is lost only that day’s activities is lost. * If they have redundant servers then down time will be minimal depending on configuration, minutes. If all servers lose their data then recover time may exceed hours. There is no paper trail to recover non-backed up data as all information is online. * Since the company exists only online restore time would be long due to the need to reload all gaming apps and user profiles. Contingency plan must be drawn up for all possibilities. Compile a list of all eventualities then create procedures to recover the data. All procedures are to be tested to make sure they work. * Data should constantly...

...Windows 8 is a Microsoft operating system that is designed for home users as well as for business purpose. Its development started even before its predecessor’s release Windows 7 in 2009.Windows 8 is a system that is particularly orientated to touchscreen hardware. There are some important changes and additives that make it look and differently than the users are used to. For example, the Start menu is completely substituted by a Start screen that can be taken away from the desktop easily by touch screen pen and also by just a normal mouse or keyboard key combination. It contains all the important applications also the ones that are active at the moment. All the icons in the old version of the operating system are changed into tiles that can be juggled with. It can stay constantly on the screen or can be hidden.And now the most important that users expect to hear – when will it be available for the public and for what price? The official release date is the 26th of October, 2012. It was preceded by three pre-release editions while still being developed and tested for the period of the 13th of September 2011 until 31st of May 2012.

...WEEK 8, ASSIGNMENT 2Ireti Kayode Strayer University | | CIS 175 Dr. William McConnell12/03/2013 | | | | | Ocper, Inc. Server Proposal Given Ocper, Inc.’s expanding network scenario there is a clear need to maximize the available resources between employees then it is appropriate to add additional servers to facilitate the sharing of files as well as the configuration of remote access services to allow for remote and secure working. In order to complement the existing network scenario this proposal is based around the configuration and deployment of Microsoft Windows Server 2012 as the network operating system. This is a stable and secure server environment which will allow the designated services to be configured and will equally allow for scalability while at the same time decreasing the overall maintenance and administration to support the network and associated servers. Given the size of the current organization and the IT systems at present, Windows Server 2012 Standard edition would be the most appropriate version for deployment as this will also keep the up-front costs down to a minimum – there is no requirement for the Enterprise Edition whose features will not be required in this implementation. One of the critical roles for the new server implementations will be that of a File Server capability – this can be easily configured within the Ocper, Inc. network through a Static IP address being assigned to this machine and then the...

...Updating From Microsoft Windows XP to Microsoft Windows 7 A lot of problems can arise when trying to update an older machine such as this from Microsoft Windows XP to Microsoft Windows 7. Microsoft has not made it easy for XP users to move to Win7. You won't be able to run the upgrade disk and have the newer operating system install on top of XP, leaving your data and programs in place. Instead, you have two options: 1. You can do a Clean install, in which you wipe the hard drive clean and install a virgin copy of Windows 7, then reinstall your software and copy your data back to the drive. 2. You can do a Custom install, in which your older setup is squirreled away in a folder called WINDOWS.OLD. This will include your program files, though you won't be able to run your software from there. It will also include data files, but you shouldn't rely on this as your sole backup strategy prior to upgrading. First and foremost When performing and update such as this: make sure that all hardware on the machine that is being updated is compatible and will meet Windows 7's minimum system requirements. A good way to do this is simply to go to the Microsoft website and download the windows 7 advisor at: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/upgrade-advisor. This tool can be very helpful in determining if a system is capable of running windows 7. Some of the Windows 7 system requirements are: * 1 GHz processor (32- or 64-bit) * 1 GB of RAM (32-bit); 2 GB of...

...NTFS AND HYPER V The New Technology File System (NTFS) is the standard file structure for the Windows NT operating system. It is used for retrieving and storing files on the hard disk. The NTFS introduced a number of enhancements, including innovative data structures that increased performance, improved metadata, and added expansions like security access control, reliability, disk space utilization, and file system journaling. The NTFS replaced the OS/2 High-Performance File System and the Windows 95 file allocation table (FAT), which was used in MS-DOS and earlier operating system versions. NTFS is also used with Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.NTFS was initially designed for the Intel i860 XR processor released by Microsoft in 1993. Although IBM and Microsoft worked together to create the graphical operating system known as the OS/2, they disagreed on many important issues and they eventually separated. IBM continued to work on the OS/2, while Microsoft started working on Windows NT. The OS/2 HPFS had many new features that were also used with Windows NT. Both HPFS and NTFS share the same disk partition identification type code (07), which is unusual because there are dozens of codes available. The new reliable features of the NTFS include a fault tolerance system that automatically repairs hard drive errors without error messages. The NTFS also retains detailed transaction records that keep track of hard drive errors. This feature is beneficial in...

...H Hoffman Trucking Operating Systems Overview POS 355 January 23, 2012 Hoffman Trucking Operating Systems Overview Hoffman Trucking is using a mix of operating systems based on technology which is at least ten years old. The company started out in Cleveland, Ohio and really started to grow with the acquisition of five other regional trucking companies from 1948 through 1976 and became a national carrier after 1980. The home office’s current operating systems consist of a mainframe system probably running Unix or Linux in the maintenance plant. The users interface with the mainframe through dumb terminals connected to a token ring network. The administrative offices use Novell 5.1 to handle directory services, Lotus Notes to handle e-mail services, Linux is used at the operating system for the web server, A Macintosh computer for marketing, Windows 2000 Workstation, Windows XP Pro and ten machines running Windows 2000 Server. These systems are also running on a token ring network with a Fractional T1 connection to the Internet to allow communications with the other offices. The Missouri office is a mirror image of the home office. The offices in New Jersey and California are also duplicates of each other but are totally different in architecture. The office system are very old as well centering around Microsoft operating systems ranging from Windows 3.1 which is a DOS based operating system to Windows 2000 Server running as the IIS server.
