Best Practices for Information System Development
updated on 24/09/2006:
due to the lack of available information online, the scope of the project
has been narrowed to High Availability and Disaster Recovery
This project is to design a model information system (hardware and
software) for a mid size company with two satellite branches and
several mobile staff members.
The design has to consider in depth the
following functional requirements: high availability (24x7) and high
performance for users including remote access and mobile workers,
high security against hacker and virus, secure and easy to retrieve
storage and fast disaster recovery.
The approach must be based on
academic considerations as well as commercial practicality.
The
student will need to learn or know Microsoft W2003, Mandriva Linux
and Citrix Metaframe as the commercial references. We will take a
fitness-for-purpose and Total-cost-of-ownership approach, and design
the procedure for developing and implementing information systems.
Appeal: the appointed student will be able to meet and mix with
various IT consultants once a month in Compucon House to discuss
similar issues in seminars hosted by CNZ.
