Critical path analysis

  Critical path analysis   What is critical path analysis? Critical path analysis is a technique of analysing dependant tasks and calculating the total time to complete the project. This allows the project manager to see the shortest time that the project will take to complete. It will also show which tasks are critical to the project rather than tasks which may not be necessary to successfully complete the project.     When will an employer use critical path analysis? An employer might use Critical Path Analysis (CPA) to plan, execute, and manage projects, especially when tasks are interdependent, deadlines are crucial, and resources are limited. Some specific scenarios may be project planning and scheduling, resource management, cost management and risk management. An example industry using critical path analysis would be manufacturing. CPA would be used to streamline production processes and supply chains.   Critical path analysis used in MS...

Emerging technologies allowing adaptability and future proofing

  Emerging technologies allowing adaptability and future proofing Machine Learning Machine Learning is a field of study in artificial intelligence concerned with the development and study of statistical algorithms that can learn from data and generalise to unseen data, and thus perform tasks without explicit instructions. Advances in the field of deep learning have allowed neural networks to surpass many previous approaches in performance.   Artificial Intelligence (AI) Artificial Intelligence is a set of technologies that enable computers to perform a variety of advanced functions, including the ability to see, understand and translate spoken and written language, analyse data, make recommendations and more.   Internet of things (IoT) The internet of things refers to a network of physical devices, appliances and other physical objects that are embedded with sensors, software and netw...

  Core B – Similar exam questions   Section A: Networking and Infrastructure 1.      Explain the role of a DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) server in a network. The role of a DHCP in a networking protocol is to hand out IP addresses to devices on a network. It is given a range of IP addresses so that when a device is added to a network, it is given a unique address to be able to communicate with other devices on the network.   2.      Compare and contrast the functions of a switch and a router in a network. Both switches and routers are crucial components to a network. Although they are both crucial, they do have different uses, and they offer different services. The primary function of a switch is it can operate within a singular network and connect multiple devices. (This is such as computers, printers etc). It also allows them to communicate. On the other hand, the primary function of a router is it connec...

Cisco oracle servers

  Network configuration on user machine   To be able to connect the host server and the user machine together, we need to point Adapter settings – First go to the control panel. Then press ‘view network status and tasks’. Then press ‘change adapter settings’. Then right click the ethernet tab. Press Properties. Select the ipv4 tab. Then go to properties. Then add the ip address, in this case is 192.168.2.114. I made the alternative ip address the ip of google, so 8.8.8.8. Then I went to settings, system then about. Then I scrolled down and pressed ‘domain or workgroup’. Then made the computer description ‘Office PC1’. Before pressing ‘ok’, I pressed ‘change’. The I changed the computer name to Office-PC1. Selected ‘domain’, and named the domain name of ‘will’. Press ok. Then a window should pop up called ‘windows security’. Type the username of the login of my personal server. In this case the username is ‘Administrator’. The password is Pa55w0rd. I was then successfully a...

Topologies

 Topologies What is a network topology? A network topology is the arrangement of the elements, such as links and nodes, of a communication network. Network topology can be used to define or describe the arrangement of various types of telecommunication networks, including command and control radio networks and computer networks.  Network topology examples Point to point topology -      This is arguably the most basic topology as it only consists of 2 nodes and a connection between them. So for example, if you were to configure a router in London, to connect and use resources on a network in Manchester, you would want to make sure that you had a link between them that supports your needs.  Star topology - A star topology is a centralised topology consisting of multiple nodes and a central hub/switch. It is also a design where all devices are connected to a central hub or switch, and messages are passed to the central core that, in turn, passes the
