The Portfolio Project is due at the end of Week 8, the last week, and in Module 8, the final module of the course. This assignment is designed to allow you to display your mastery of the material and to provide you with a creative and realistic way to apply the knowledge and experience you gained from ITS405.
Create a detailed, organized, and unified technical solution given the scenario described below. Your solution should draw on the content presented in the course. The outline below lists points/topics to cover. You are free to provide additional, related information. Provide technical and justification reasons for each choice, citing resources as appropriate.
Option #2: You work in the IT department for a software development firm. The firm is interested in setting up a server lab environment that requires a Windows Active Directory infrastructure.
This lab will require centralized management of user identity, resources, and data. The firm is interested in using this lab environment to create and test software that they develop for clients. The lab should also allow them to test other technical scenarios that concern the firm.
The firm is very interested in the new Container feature offered in Windows Server 2016. This will require the ability to use Containers to develop and test applications and software that the firm is working on.
The firm is also concerned about its ability to recover and continue business operations in the event of a major disaster. Therefore, the lab will be used to perform and test high availability and disaster recovery scenarios without having a major impact on software development and testing activities currently taking place in the lab.
Requirements
Address each of the following topics in your plan:
Deployment and Server Editions
How many total servers are needed? Which roles will be combined?

Use this non-graded activity to test your knowledge.
Case Assignment
In this project, you will set recovery objectives for a web-based
e-mail and customer applications used by a private organization. The
recovery objectives to be set are Recovery Point Objective (RPO),
Recovery Time Objective (RTO), Recovery Consistency Objective (RCO), and
Recovery Capacity Objective (RCapO).
You need to justify the recovery targets you set. You should employ
reasonableness for the organization and not go “overboard” and suggest
an elaborate scheme that few organizations would find economically
feasible.
An e-mail application was chosen as the context, as this should be a
clearly understood application upon which to apply the concepts of
recovery targets.
Assignment Expectations
After reviewing the above materials, write a 3- to 5-page paper:
Address the following issues in your paper:
Recovery standards for a web-based email system used by private
organization for communication with customers and internally: Recovery
Point Objective (RPO), Recovery Time Objective (RTO), Recovery
Consistency Objective (RCO), and Recovery Capacity Objective (RCapO).

Week 5 Assignment – Case Study: Transforming the Organization Use the Week 5 Ca

Week 5 Assignment – Case Study: Transforming the Organization
Use the Week 5 Case Study Template [DOCX] to complete this assignment.
Congratulations! The executives are taking your information system proposal seriously. In fact, they think it has the potential to transform the way the organization works.
The CIO asked you to read Too Much of a Good Thing to think about what resources you will need to get your new information system up and running. Please also view the video How Tech Companies Are Revamping the Remote-Work Experience so you can recommend a change management pattern for your company to follow.
Write a memo to the CIO that describes how to implement your information system into the organization. Please focus on these topics:
How much of the implementation work can you handle? What additional resources (people, information, time, money, et cetera) will expedite the process so you don’t end up like Susie Jeffer?
What is your change management strategy? Provide an outline. Consider:
What new equipment and software are necessary?
What training and support will the staff need?
How will the staff complete their work during the transition period?
Do you anticipate other areas of resistance?
The CIO is very skeptical, so provide evidence that your assessment is accurate and complete. It can be difficult to admit to personal limitations!
Your memo should be 3–5 pages long.
If you use sources to support your writing for this assignment, choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.

Week 5 Assignment: Transaction Requirements. SQL Queries Assignment Content For

Week 5 Assignment: Transaction Requirements. SQL Queries Assignment Content For this assignment, you need to submit your code (SQL script or document), including structure from the Data Definition Language (DDL) and the Data Manipulation Language (DML). Use these SQL Statements as a starting point for your script. The data manipulation language (DML) is used to create, read, update, and delete data from a table. The data definition language (DDL) is used to create and alter the structure of the database itself, like creating a table, its columns, define and modify the primary and foreign keys, stored procedures, delete columns, tables, and even the entire database. Your SQL statements should require a variety of SQL capabilities, such as various kinds of join, aggregate functions, etc. (This presupposes a good initial domain choice.) Remember you must turn in code (or documentation) of the results of these tests indicating that the SQL statements for your requirements worked correctly and that your constraints correctly allowed good data and caught bad data. Your document must include comments (handwritten or entered as SQL comments in a text file) that indicate what each test is testing – i.e. a specific requirement (if “good” data) or a specific problem you were catching (if testing a constraint on “bad” data). Follow these steps to complete your assignment: Populate your database with sample data to allow testing of the schema and the various transactions. Each table should have a minimum of ten rows. After you’ve entered data, create some sample queries to see if the output is what you expected. Create some sample reports to make sure these also produce similar results. Make any necessary corrections to the database design during this stage and before you enter all of your personal records. If you find any problems, correct the design. Enter all of your personal records. Write your SQL Script. Submit your code (SQL script or document), including structure from the Data Definition Language (DDL) and the Data Manipulation Language (DML). Please follow the rubric attach to this project.

Assignment 5 (6 Questions) Answer the following assigned questions based on the topics from Chapter 20 from your (Health Information Management: Concepts, Principles, and Practice) book and from external sources. (You must reference both the provided textbook chapter and the external scholarly sources.) ——————— From Chapter 20: Q1. How does quasi-experimental research differ from experimental research? Q2. When would researchers choose to conduct a meta-analysis? Q3. What common mistake(s) do researchers make in data collection? ———————- Read & Research your answers from external sources only for the following last three questions below: (You may use your 2nd book as an external source, but best to use other external sources.) Q4. What is Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)? and what is “Knowledge Discovery” Data mining (KDD)? Provide detail information. Q5. With regards to Data Mining Models, What is SEMMA? Q6. What are legal and ethical implications of data mining? ———————- Please pay attention to the Assignment Grading Rubric: Note: Assignment 5, regarding answering questions on Chapter 20, please incorporate “1 or more” external sources for every question answered for full points. (You may use your 2nd book as an external source) Minimum 500 words applies to the total minimum number of words for all the questions answered within the assignment. Not necessarily minimum 500 words per question answered within assignment. Turnitin Requirements: For each assignment, your similarity score must meet a threshold of no more than 20%. Assignments with greater than 20% similarity must be revised and resubmitted to Turnitin until the 20% threshold is achieved. For resubmissions, it may take up to 24 hours for a new similarity score. It is your responsibility to allow enough time to receive a Turnitin similarity score report. Assignments with more than 20% threshold will receive a zero. Do not copy the assignment questions into your answer file when submitting. This should help with keeping your TII below 20% threshold. Also when using information verbatim from a source please “quote” properly to keep your TII below 20% threshold.
