By then end of the current business quarter, you must propose a design for the implementation of client operating systems on 250 client computers (including desktop, laptop, tablets, and phabets) as well as the 50 servers that provide the database services. Before committing to any operating systems you must research the material (use the textbook as well as the Internet) to propose ONE of the following courses of action:

1. Safety of the status quo (specify the current client and server operating systems as well as the implementation of a NOS or D/OS)
2. Moderated change of the clients and/or server OS (specify which OS will be changed and why)
3. Cutting edge innovation (specify why you would take this risk and what returns you expect from it).

In your answer you must consider:

• The IT environment:
o the IT needs for the business
