NEEDS ANALYSIS SOFTWARE FOR SERVERAnalysis needs to be done to
find out what kind of server will be built. Determining the need
for a network operating system can be known by understanding the
user who will use the system. The system is expected to have a
system that is able to run all application requirements desired by
the user, including hardware support to run it. Compatibility of
hardware and software in the computer system is commonly known as
compatibility.
IDENTIFYING THE NEED FOR APPLICATIONSIs there a need for data
processing with a special application? If there is the
determination of the operating system can be seen by the specific
application. b. Are these applications support multi-user
environments or single user? This can determine whether the
computer will be installed on the server or client. In addition it
can be used to determine which parts of the data processing which
can later be stored on the server. Is there data (files) that are
shared within the network? If there is, then you should use a
network operating system that is able to maintain the compatibility
of data formats.
SERVER HARDWARE NEEDS ANALYSISStages in determining the hardware
requirements are not much different from when deciding on the
application server earlier, ranging from the identification of the
hardware requirements of each application to be used, followed by
making the documentation and review (testing). Total Memory (RAM),
Media Storage (hard drive), Processor Speed, etc.
