ANALYTICAL ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE
26 MARCH 2019
Author Note
This paper was prepared for IT-600 Operating Systems, Module 3 Milestone 2,
Creation of an Analytical Organizational Profile
Overview: For this milestone, you will create an analytical organizational profile. The goal is to map each of the general-purpose operating system features identified to your analysis of what the feature is, why it is important, and what business-related problem such a general-purpose operating system feature would create if not present in a typical small-to-medium-sized business back office.
Directions: Insert your answers directly in the Student Analysis column below by doing the following:
· In each of the “Tech Description” fields, describe the GPOS feature using relevant technical terms and topic-related details.
· In each of the “Business Requirement” fields, describe (in business terms) how the absence of this GPOS feature impacts a business such as TSI.

GPOS Feature |
Profile Criteria |
Student Analysis |
|
Multiprogramming |
Tech Description |
An act of parallel processing on the platform of single processer. Programs are put in sechedule and they are not running simultaneously. |
|
|
Business Requirement |
There is use of single processers to process one particular program at a time such that one big has the capability of blocking small ones until it goes to completion. |
|
Multiprocessing |
Tech Description |
It has multiple processors that can even work on more than one processes simultaneously. |
|
|
Business Requirement |
It upgrades the lifetime for TSI since it doubles the output unlike the single processor system. |
|
Multithreading |
Tech Description |
It is shared in cache for quicker accessing either through register or cache. Although threads are smaller, they create process together. |
|
|
Business Requirement |
Currently, TSI is removing functionaility of threading by open source software since it lacks system call interface which is beyond read and write. Besides, TSI is not to create multiple threads. |
|
Virtual Memory |
Tech Description |
A temporary data transfer from RAM to disk if RAM is overloaded. |
|
|
Business Requirement |
TSI has inadequate memory and its system crashes frequently compelling the adminstrators to constantly reboot their systems. Indeed, they should have virtual memory model which utilizes paging for avoidace of crashing of the system in future. |
|
System Call Interface |
Tech Description |
It exists between user’s application and kernel. In fact, it translates user’s command into kernel language for command execution. Kernel language should be developed to all customers. |
|
|
Business Requirement |
TSI is known for creation of custom system calls sicne they an interfae that is not compatible to other software. Developers should create special system calls to be used. |
|
Security |
Tech Description |
Protects software from intruders or unauthorized access to the system. |
|
|
Business Requirement |
It enhances protection of the system’s information whereas TSI has low amount of security. |
|
Device Drivers |
Tech Description |
Controls the connection of devices to programs. |
|
|
Business Requirement |
It allows installation of TSI software disk to aid operation of a printer. |
|
Fault Tolerance |
Tech Description |
Creates program that brings changes to prevent systems from crashing. |
|
|
Business Requirement |
TSI needs to have fault tolerance to avoid having troubles in programming while developing their devices drivers |
