1. Goal Lab 01, being the first lab, facilitated the initial creation of our VMware vApp along with our preliminary network within. The main goal of the lab was to familiarize oneself with the Remote Laboratory Emulation System (RLES) and create a basic network utilizing the system. The basic network we created with RLES had 4 requirements: a pfSense router, a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 server, a monitoring solution, and a wiki. By installing and configuring these operating systems / services, I was able to better familiarize myself with both RLES and the services themselves. An important part of creating and administering a network is the selection of what services and operating systems to use. Some choices were specified in the lab instructions, such as the requirement to use RHEL 7, while others were left for me to decide as the System Administrator. For the router, I went with the suggested option of pfSense, and learned both how to install and configure the OS. My next action was to install and configure a Wiki so I could document all following installs. I chose to create a separate VM for the wiki running Ubuntu 14.04 as I am most familiar with this OS. The wiki solution itself I chose to install was MediaWiki, thus I learned how to install and configure said service. The final server I configured was a RHEL 7 machine, as specified in the lab. I chose Nagios 4 as my monitoring solution, and the learning curve was quite steep, but achievable. Besides learning
At this point during our configuration, we have all of the hardware implementation in place. We will be utilizing seven servers, rather than the initially proposed four. The servers and networking components are configured. Once we acquire licence from OnApp, we will be able to install the OS onto the servers. As of now, all of our servers are connected and ready to be used. Once the desired operating systems are installed onto each servers, we will be able to configure core networking services in order to cluster them. In addition, we have acquired appropriate subnet mask and IP ranges to be used for our nodes. All our hardware will using static IP addresses.
The security aspects we should watch for in this lab relate mostly to the righty way of configuring the services well, setting up a strong and complex Administrator password. Also we must set up firewall rules to make sure that all iptables rules give access to what’s needed only. In firewall rules, we should allow incoming and out coming DNS and DHCP traffic from and to known ip addresses and ports that we needed to connect to. Moreover, in this lab we used the Microsoft Baseline Security tool, which gives good security alerts about critical security issues and controls in the Windows system unlike Linux where SELinux was restricting access rather than giving alerts.
The hospital’s administrative network consists of Apple iMACS and thin computers that use 1000Base T with CAT 6 cables. All work stations belonging to Executive Management has Apple iMAC computers with 24” monitors, 2.4 GHz speed, 2 GB RAM, and a 500 MB hard drive. Human Resources, OPNS, and the Finance Senior Managers have Apple iMACS with 20” monitors, 2 GHz speed, and a 350 MB hard drive. All of the systems have OS virtualization and use the MAC Operating System X, Leopard, and Windows XP. OS virtualization allows separate, isolated virtual environments to be used on a single server. The MAC Operating System X is a UNIX system that is both simple and powerful. Leopard further enhanced the system by making it faster and more reliable. Windows XP is a product of Microsoft but it is able to be installed on any MAC using a native version of Microsoft Office. This way users are able to create documents using MS Word, make presentations using PowerPoint, and
“The VMware strategy is to help customers achieve cloud-like efficiency and operational improvements across the major IT infrastructure investment areas” (Steve Herrod, 2010). To date this strategy has involved products and services targeting complexity in datacenter infrastructure (e.g. VMware vSphere™ and VMware vCenter™ Server), desktops (e.g. VMware View™ and VMware Fusion®), and application development (e.g. SpringSource, VMware Lab Manager, and VMware Workstation). With this, Zimbra,
Being part of the PSO unit of VMWare means that I will be working alongside equally motivated and experienced professionals to help VMWare customers ensure the success.

The reputation of VMWare is cemented by the array of services that are provided, such as Business, Technology or Industry Solutions, Data Centres and Cloud Computing services. Furthermore, as stated in the informational videos on the VMWare channel, customers are assured that they are in the hands of competent and highly experienced architects, consultants and TAMs(Technical Account Managers).
The use and applications of telehealth services have expanded over the past decade, along with the role of technology in improving and coordinating care. Telehealth has improved capabilities to reduce travel time, increase access to specialty care, and improve patient safety, quality of care, and provider support.1 Traditional models of telehealth involve care delivered to the patient at a series of originating (or spoke) sites from a specialist working at a distant (or hub) site.
In any school, student learning is the ultimate goal and the focus of an effective learning community. In today’s society, the education system is called upon to teach all students at high levels. It has been established through significant research that teachers have a high impact on student learning, according to the RAND Corporation, “research suggests that, among school-related factors, teachers matter most. When it comes to student performance on reading and math tests, a teacher is estimated to have two to three times the impact of any other school factor, including services, facilities, and even leadership.”
For many years, near patient testing also known as Point-of-care testing have been performed in primary care setting. It made possible with the access of simple laboratory test, which serves as additional data that provides baseline assessment and/or to the current health status of the patient (Broughton, 1990). In the United States there is at least 20% of all laboratory tests that is being done in primary care setting and thus proven to be very useful and very accessible to the patient and the provider (Broughton, 1990).
During this phase is where the consultants will determine the hardware and software that are needed to support the virtual environment. The consultants, after reviewing the results, determined that 3 servers, 3 Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter license, and an application from Starwind will best meet ABC’s needs. The Windows licenses allows ABC to deploy multiple VM instances without the need to purchase extra copies of Windows Server 2012 R2 operating systems. The Starwind application will be used to create virtual storage area network (vSAN), which provides high availability and redundancy. A physical SAN, although efficient and reliable, is expensive and ABC’s current size doesn’t justify its use.
This lab uses Windows 7. If you are using Windows 8, Vista or Windows XP, you will need to make some slight variations to the lab.
Simulation II saw production of 18 products in 30 minutes period with 14 instances of problem with safety, 10 instances of problem with quality and 2 instances of scrap/ cost.
The goals of this lab were to install DNS, DHCP, NTP and OpenLDAP on a new RLES Red Had Enterprise Linux server within the jps5374.corp domain. Both DHCP and DNS were services that I have implemented before in System Administration I, so this section was mostly review. However, NTP and OpenLDAP were services that I’ve never worked with, so this lab was my first implementation. The overall idea for this lab was to install services and configure them with an enterprise network in mind.
RakNet is a flexible networking engine that treats the users time as precious, keeping ‘bookkeeping’ to a minimum, such as storing connected IP’s, storing a GUID for connected users, pings, dropouts. This frees development time to work on the project. Alongside the minimal approach for users, the engine is well documented with explanations and examples of how to set up certain situations a user may need. This includes plugins designed alongside the general development of RakNet, to give them a superior level of function then something that people may make to work alongside RakNet.
The main steps that I took when setting up the Windows 2012 Server was first reading the documentation that was posted on MyCourses then referencing Window’s server documentation website for any information that I needed that was not covered in the documentation section on MyCourses. The instructions were spelled out clearly in the Lab Guide that was posted and I followed the configurations steps for all of the services by referencing Windows Server manual that I found by doing a quick search online. I did not run into any major problems when I was setting up and configuring the services during the lab and I tested the configuration by connecting a windows client to the domain I created and logged in as a user that I set up. These sources are posted at the end of the report under the references section. The wiki that can be access by logging onto the VM labeled “Red_Hat_Server” not the “Main_Server” VM and typing the local address 127.0.0.1 into the address bar in the default web browser will bring up the basic steps that I took when I was setting up the services. I will be changing the naming conventions of the VM’s during lab 4 and beyond so all of this is subject to change. All passwords for any user or service will be “P4ssw0rd12” any questions don’t hesitate to email me at pxg6044@rit.edu.
