"ASP Code" Please respond to the following:

• Imagine that your company has decided to expand to the Web. You want to reuse some data entry code that has been developed in Windows and place it on the Web. Visual Basic code has the capability to run on a Web server. Explain the process you would go through to develop a Web page locally.
• Internet Explorer is the number-one Web browser, but many users are moving to Chrome and Firefox Web browsers. Each of these browsers has slight differences in displaying the screen content. Explain how this can occur to your Web screen and any ways to prevent this.

"Accessing Data Using ADO.net" Please respond to the following:

• From the e-Activity, describe some of the features you saw in the video presentation that allows easy access to databases. Most applications require a combination of programming logic and use data. Provide an ADO example to access the data from your program; for example, accessing data to display client data information. This application formats the data from a database.
• Imagine that you are computer administrator for a medium-size company and are responsible for creating proper access for the Human Resource (HR) Department. What type of files and access authority would you give to the HR employees?  Explain why you need controls.

"File Management" Please respond to the following:

• When a disk is formatted to create a file system, the tracks and cylinders are created. Each track is divided into sectors, which are usually 512 bytes in size. Files on disk are stored using clusters, which are a group of sectors. The cluster sizes range from 1 sector to multiple sectors. Compare and contrast the allocation of files using multiple sector clusters to single sector clusters in terms of throughput, access time, and storage efficiency.
• There are a number of files systems used by different operating systems. Some of these file systems are: 

•  
  • New Technology File System (NTFS, Windows)
  • File Allocation Table (FAT, Windows)
  • File Allocation Table 32-bit (FAT32, Windows)
  • Third extended filesystem (ext3, Linux)
  • High Performance File System (HPFS, IBM O / S)
  • Hierarchical File System (HFS, Apple)
• Compare and contrast NTFS to ext3 in terms of structure, reliability, storage efficiency, and ability to recovery from corrupt sections.

"Storage Allocation" Please respond to the following: 

• Redundant array of independent disks (RAID) is a disk storage technique that improves performance and fault tolerance. High performance servers tend to use RAID-5 which supports hot-swapping. Examine the benefits of using RAID-5 disks for systems that are data intensive. Describe some of the problems you foresee with RAID-5 disks.
• Storage area network (SAN), and Network-attached storage (NAS) are used to address the inefficiencies of direct-attached storage (DAS) in multiple-server environments. Analyze the inefficiencies of DAS that SAN and NAS overcome. Explain whether you would prefer SAN or NAS for your network.
