SWE4202 – COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE

Explain the hardware and software features of the systems, as well as the services supplied.

In 2022, the United Kingdom’s government relaxed the majority of the limitations imposed in response to the Covid- 19 pandemic. The government is acutely aware, however, that while the virus’s overall impact on the population has lessened as a result of rigorous testing and subsequent vaccination programs, scientists have yet to gain a thorough knowledge of the virus, its long-term effects, and mutations. 

The government has assigned your firm, Capsid Analytics, with conducting additional inquiries and studies in preparation for the next major pandemic in this made-up scenario. Your firm’s mission is to research not only the Covid-19 virus in particular but also viruses in general, including their spread patterns and long-term effects on population health.

You’ve been tasked with determining the right infrastructure for this business as the SysOps Lead.

Write a 4000-word report (+10% and -10% tolerances are acceptable).
The report should detail and justify the proposed systems’ hardware and software, including related features to support the firm’s digital services. Furthermore, a reasonable networking strategy should be included with details of principles and protocols to support digital services. A network diagram must be included and discussed in this section.

It is expected that the Reference List will contain between five and ten sources. As a MINIMUM the Reference List should include one refereed academic journal and three academic books.
