...Term Paper: Website Migration Project Term Paper: Website Migration Project Dimitri A. Brydie Professor Jennifer Merritt Systems Analysis and Development December 18, 2013 Tony’s Chips has recently been acquired by a new independent company and the organization leaders have decided to move the current website, which is hosted externally, to an internal host. The company wants the website to be redesigned so that after migration, customers will then be able to make orders online. The company’s leadership would also like to have a disaster recovery solution in place in case the main site goes down. The overall objective of the project is to plan and design a new effective platform to host the website and to efficiently transfer the current website with minimal downtime. In order to accomplish successful migration of the current website, the five phases of the systems development life cycle will be utilized. The five phases are: systems planning, systems analysis, systems design, systems implementation, and finally, systems support and security (Shelly & Rosenblatt 2012). The first phase in the website migration project will be to become familiarized with the business process and identify the objectives of the project. For an IT professional, this may consist of meeting with business leaders and studying the formal business plan to get a feel for the operations of the company. In this case, the company makes potato chips and distributes them. Another objective...

...Explaining a concept: Website migration project Name Course Instructor Date Website Migration Project In this current era, every business is going online, and most of the selling and buying of goods and services is being done n online. That is why Tony chips should also have a website where it can be able to advertize its business and reach many customers. This paper will cover the steps and requirements on how Tony chips will transfer web hosting from an external source to internal as well as how to make their website redundant. In the efforts to build that redundant and scalable website, the key principles of availability, performance, reliability, scalability, manageability and cost require much attention (Matsudaira, 2012). Also, the SDLC must be duly followed as it is the requirement of any system. These are systems planning, system analysis, system design, system implementation, and lastly system support/security (Shelly & Rosenblatt, 2012). System Planning In this phase, the familiarization of the processes involved and objectives of the business must be well highlighted. A formal business plan needs to be in place to show which operations the company will undertake. There is a need to know all participants in the whole migration process and the time when they will you require then in the migration process. As the one of the requirements is that the website needs to be hosting should be internal, it means that a server there is a server requirement. Besides that...

...Kingfish Datacenter Migration By Reginald L. Cobb PROJ 592 Professor Keith Bluestein Executive Summary/Proposal When an organization decides to migrate to a state-of-the-art data center, it is considered a strategic initiative that, if done correctly, will help the organization in several key areas. The migration will help the enterprise and service providers maintain market leadership, increase business agility, reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), meet regulatory requirement, and position the organization for future growth. The Kingfish Datacenter Migration plan relocation to the Connection Factory converted warehouse will save the organization an estimated fifty thousand dollars annually in lease and indirect cost. The TOC is reduced by timing the migration with a total hardware refresh to more energy efficient servers and appliances. Kingfish will also be virtualizing 50% of the application that now sit on individual servers. This initiative will not only save the datacenter the cost of running an inefficient server but will pass on saving to the customer while providing a robust and scalable environment. Kingfish Datacenter Migration Kingfish Datacenter is a medium size datacenter that is used primarily as a hosting center. The datacenter is primarily oriented toward a client-server which means that the data traffic flows north-south (in and out of the facility). The data center has lost its lease in its current location and will have to move within...

...Term Paper Website Migration CIS University 09/07/15 Tony’s Chips has recently been sold to a new independent company. The new company has hired me to manage a project that will move the old Website from an externally hosted solution to an internal one. The company’s leadership is very concerned about redundancy for their site, insisting that a back-up site be available as a failover in case the main site goes down. Therefore, the site will be redesigned so that customers will be able to place orders through the website and have them delivered as before. The design of the new system will be able to provide more data storage, faster retrieval, better security features and recovery solutions in the event that the website has any problems. With the operational reliability of the existing system, this will make it easier to improve the new system. The first part of the project goal is to discuss what it will take to build the web architecture, then what will have to be done to move the existing Website with minimal downtime, and then provide a disaster recovery plan in the event that the website should crash or stop working. In order to build the architecture, migrate the existing website along with adding the ability for the customers to place orders online and providing for redundancy of the site the system development life cycle (SDLC) will be used. The SDLC consists of five phases that will be utilized in this project and the five phases are systems planning, systems analysis...

...this country contributes in the international labor market through temporary labor migration. People usually migrate internationally for better opportunity and financial wellbeing. But the pattern of migration is different according to socioeconomic status of migrants. Some are temporary and others are permanent migrants. Both categories of migrants send money to their country of origin, to their families, but the temporary migrants, often poor, sends more. Remittances have become the most powerful means to maintain relationship with migrants with their societies of origin. Remittances play a most important role in the accounts of many developing countries and are crucial to the survival of poor individuals and communities around the world. The emphasis of development policy is now firmly on poverty alleviation and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and remittances are playing a significant role to achieve some goals of MDGs. According to Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET); up to December 2009 total approximately 8 million people migrated from Bangladesh from 1976 to 2009 to different countries. In 2008, total 875055 people migrated to different countries temporarily. Among them 132124 people migrated to Saudi Arabia, 419355 to U.A.E and 131762 to Malaysia (BMET website link: http://www.bmet.org.bd/report.html). Most of these people migrated for short-term employment like for 3 to 10 years. But usually this statistics doesn’t represent the...

...care systems: a mapping of research in the social sciences Ramila Bisht1*, Emma Pitchforth2 and Susan F Murray3 Abstract National and transnational health care systems are rapidly evolving with current processes of globalisation. What is the contribution of the social sciences to an understanding of this field? A structured scoping exercise was conducted to identify relevant literature using the lens of India – a ‘rising power’ with a rapidly expanding healthcare economy. A five step search and analysis method was employed in order to capture as wide a range of material as possible. Documents published in English that met criteria for a social science contribution were included for review. Via electronic bibliographic databases, websites and hand searches conducted in India, 113 relevant articles, books and reports were identified. These were classified according to topic area, publication date, disciplinary perspective, genre, and theoretical and methodological approaches. Topic areas were identified initially through an inductive approach, then rationalised into seven broad themes. Transnational consumption of health services; the transnational healthcare workforce; the production, consumption and trade in specific health-related commodities, and transnational diffusion of ideas and knowledge have all received attention from social scientists in work related to India. Other themes with smaller volumes of work include new global health governance issues and structures;...
