Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief prop
- 1. Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief proposal presentation for migrating its systems from Windows to Linux. The company is specifically interested in seeing the following information: (10.1.1: Identify the problem to be solved.) · Based on your current understanding of Faster Computing's business, what are some potential benefits of Linux? · The company is aware that many different Linux derivatives exist. Be very specific and choose only one version (e.g., Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, Redhat, CentOS, Kali). Which would Go2Linux recommend, and why? Give specific reasons for your choice (e.g., security features, support, updates, user interface). (10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.) · What steps will be required to migrate the systems from Windows to Linux? · Are there graphical interfaces available for the Linux workstations that would provide similar functionality to Windows? Some users are concerned about working with a command-line interface. (10.1.3: Define the specifications of required technologies.) · What tools are available on Linux for the servers to provide file sharing, Linux services, and printing? (e.g., Apache/Nginx, Samba, CUPS, SSH/SCP). Ensure you identify what the functions/services are used for (e.g., Samba is used for file sharing). (1.1.3: Present ideas in a clear, logical order appropriate to the task.) The deliverable for this phase of the project is a three- to five- slide PowerPoint narrated presentation. · An introductory slide · A summary slide · Voice narration on every slide For each slide, you will embed your own audio recording as if
- 2. you were presenting the content to the Faster Computing team. Faster Computing has not yet committed to the project, so this should be presented as a proposal. The presentation should be visually appealing; the inclusion of at least one image that supports the content and adds value to the proposal is required. (1.3.3: Integrate appropriate credible sources to illustrate and validate ideas.) You must cite at least two quality sources. You used at least 2 references and your references were cited properly following an accepted style. Ask your instructor for clarification. Use the Migration Proposal Presentation template to get started. (2.3.1: State conclusions or solutions clearly and precisely.) You should present your proposal as if you are selling to the company. Revisit all of these important reasons in the summary slide. Migration Proposal Presentation
- 3. Linux, like Windows and Mac OS, is a fully accessible software. It is no longer only an operating system; Linux Cont’ it is now also a substrate for running workstations, servers, and integrated devices. Since it is publicly available and portable, it has a wide range of installations and modifications. The kernel is an essential component of the Linux operating system. Numerous characteristics of the Linux environment show that it is superior than other operating systems. Certain operating systems, on the other hand, may be more effective sometimes in situations than Linux. Linux was created to be equivalent to UNIX, but it has since grown to run on a vast range of hardware, including handsets and high - performance computing. Characteristics
- 4. The Linux kernel, which governs system resources, and a set of development tools that constitute up the remainder of the operating system are included in all Linux-based OS. Certain basic fundamentals, such as the GNU tools, are included in the OS. These programs allow the user to manipulate the kernel's privileges, download special tools, adjust based on security features, and more. Cont’ Opensource software: Its software is easily accessible because it is open-source. The program can be customized by anyone with coding skills. The script can be contributed to, modified, distributed, and improved for any application. 2. Encryption Techniques: The principal motivation that Linux is the right approach for coders is because of its encryption techniques. It isn't absolute ly secure, but it is safer than other options. Potential Advantages of Linux The administrator must authorize each service. Until the

Free: Obviously, the most significant benefit of the Linux operating system is that it is free to use. We may download free it and do not need to purchase a license. Cont’ It is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) (General Public License). In comparison, the licensing for the other versions of windows costs a lot of money. 4. Lightweight: Linux is a minimal operating system. Linux has far fewer specifications than those of other operating systems. Linux has a smaller storage usage and uses less storage space. Cont’ In average, most Linux distributions only demanded 128Mb of Memory was around the same level of disc space. 5. Consistency: Linux has a higher level of stability than other operating systems. To sustain quality standards, Linux doesn't quite require a reload Cont’
- 6. It almost never stops up or slows down. It has a long standby. 6. Speed: The Linux operating system controls incredible performance across a number of platforms. It has the ability to handle a big number of users at the same time. Cont’ Shifting from Windows to Linux makes more sense for many businesses. As per various individual surveys and industry professionals, the benefits are intriguing: increased safety and consistency, reduce premiums, availability to source code repository, increased security, and compatibility with standardization. Migration; Perform a detailed quick calculation, projecting out too many years, predicated of how much it would expense to transfer vs what it would cost not to relocate only economic risks, but other expenses as well, such as the level of national direct authority you desire over your institution's requirement specification. Cont’
- 7. No one can really compel you to purchase or withhold you a mainline kernel if you migrate from Windows to Linux. You still have the upper hand, so you'll preserve costs and have full influence in the long haul,” says Nicholas Petreley, a Linux consultant at Santa Cruz, Calif.-based IT market research firm Evans Data Corp. Which flavor should be purchased? Professionals suggest preparation, research, and more planning for a successful Windows to Linux desktop transfer. Proceed before you begin; Check to see if your company is a suitable fit for a Windows-to- Linux desktop conversion. Cont’ Flavors of Linux And those who are exciting opportunities, according to Werden, are searching for methods to cut IT costs and gain power over staff workstations. Furthermore, many businesses rely on conventional services and apps or simply require fundamental administrative work, and they frequently require distant applications that run on mainframes, Unix, and Windows on the

It is far more crucial for your migrating team to feel at ease with the Linux distribution they've adopted. Flavor with your choice Determine whose individuals in your company are the better match for a Server substitute desktop. Procedural operators and researchers, for example, are personnel who concentrate on basic apps like Internet browser, efficiency packages, and emailing, rather than professionals who utilize complex programs But note; like Dreamweaver or Mac products on a regular basis. Susan Jeffries, marketing manager for Sun Microsystems Inc.'s Java Desktop System, explains, "It's about understanding the requirement or niches from which you can really save money with the lowest amount of impact."
- 9. Cont’ Making a decision on a Linux distribution; There seem to be a bewildering number of Linux distributions could choose from, along with the de facto standard Red Hat, Mandrake, SUSE, Mandrake, a Debian variant, or Fedora, a Red Hat- and community-supported open software endeavor to make a perfect, simple operational program completely out of open source.
