Scenario: You work for a consulting firm as a VMware  vSphere implementation expert, and your firm was recently selected to  implement vSphere Enterprise Plus into an existing network. This will be  a brand new install with no existing virtualization products present.  As you are being brought up to speed on the project you find out the  following information about the infrastructure you are moving over to  vSphere:

• There are 15 physical servers, all running Windows 2008.
• Applications in use:
  • Exchange Server
  • SQL Server
  • SAP
  • SharePoint Server
• All existing servers are using less than 750 GB of drive space each, and no server is using more than 8 GB of RAM.
• There is only a single location for this organization, and the  network has two subnets one for the clients and one for the servers:
  • Server subnet is 10.1.0.X
  • Client subnet is 10.2.0.X
• The customer has agreed to allow you to move over one server at a time, but full migration must be done within seven days.

The new infrastructure to which you are moving consists of the following:

• Four new servers with 300 GB of RAM each
• A new Storage Area Network (SAN) connected via Fiber Channel with 20 TB of usable storage capacity
• Each server is connected to existing network with 10 Gbps

You have been tasked with creating an installation/migration plan  proposal to submit for customer approval. This plan should be 2 to 3  pages in length. If there are details missing that might prevent you  from completing the migration plan, go ahead and make assumptions, but  be sure to document them. Your 2- to 3-page plan should include the  following:

• Products – Include which VMware products need to be installed and  used for the scope of this project. Make sure to include any VMware  virtual machines that may be needed to support your configuration.
• Obstacles – Use the knowledge you have gained from the lab  assignments to anticipate obstacles. Address any obstacles that should  be considered for the installation and configuration of vSphere.  Document how you could overcome these obstacles, and apply what you  learned.
• Configuration – Include how vSphere should be configured at a high level, specifically covering:
  • Configuration of virtual switches
  • How to connect to the storage provided
  • How templates can be used during the migration
  • How resources should be allocated to virtual machines
  • What tasks can be automated
  • How to monitor performance after you migrate each physical system to ensure resources are allocated properly
• Timeline – Create a high level timeline for this entire project.  Make sure to consider the build time for your vSphere environment, time  to migrate each server, and time to test the migration.

Feedback from the Instructor:

 I have made some edits to your  paper and have attached it here.  Overall, I can tell you understand  what is going on under the hood of the technology, which is good.   However, the errors in the writing, grammar, misspellings, etc distract  from your message too much.  Also, I think you did a good job of reflecting your understanding of how  things word but I didn’t see as much of a connection to the actual  assignment as I would have liked to.  For example, how are we getting  from physical to virtual?  You brought up using the converter which is  great, but I didn’t see the follow through with the remainder of the  assignment.  Instead you went more into definitions and your  understanding of how things work as opposed to how you planned to make  this migration work.  

Maximum that can be paid is $50.

Paper has to be completed by Sunday, December 8th @12pm no exceptions!!!!

There are several environmental laws, regulations, and policies that currently influence your life, and they include the following:

• NEPA
• The Clean Air Act
• The Clean Water Act
• The Endangered Species Act
• The Superfund
• CITES
• The Montreal Protocol
• The Basel Convention

Choose one of these environmental regulations, or another policy that interests you; then, research your chosen regulation or policy’s requirements and environmental and economic impacts. Remember that the Strayer Library is a good place to start. http://research.strayer.edu

Write a 3–5-page paper in which you do the following:

1. Describe three key elements of the regulation or policy you chose. Specifically, discuss who is affected and what actions they are required to undertake, including federal and state agencies and specific industries, and how these requirements are enforced.
2. Assess three effects this regulation or policy had on our environment. Next, quantify its effects, if possible, to analyze whether or not the regulation had the desired effect on the environment.
3. Discuss three economic effects of your chosen policy or regulation. Next, describe the direct costs of implementation, as well as the effect the regulation has had on economic growth. If possible, find a benefits/cost analysis that will provide you with objective analyses of this regulation’s economic impact.
4. Speculate whether or not you believe that this policy or regulation has been successful overall. Next, debate whether or not your chosen policy or regulation has promoted environmental benefits or outweighed its economic costs. Lastly, determine whether you would recommend renewing this policy or regulation when it comes to its expiration date, or whether you should let the policy or regulation expire. Justify your response.
5. Use at least three quality resources/references in this assignment, in addition to the course text. Note: Wikipedia and personal blogs do not qualify as quality resources.
6. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
   • This course requires the use of new Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
   • Be typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with 1-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow SWS format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
   • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, your professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are as follows:

• Analyze the negative and positive impacts of human interaction with a specified ecosystem.
• Determine the fundamental principles of ecosystems and ecology.
• Assess the impact and effectiveness of environmental conservation methods and policy . 

 Hello,

I would like to get your help in my exam tomorrow (Tuesday) which is about Python programming, the exam starts at: 10:30 AM EST. I want you to be ready at this time and when I got the programming instruction, I’ll send it to you and you’ll have about an hour to do the best you can then send me what you’ve written. Most likely, the professor will let us complete it at home but he would like to get the first version of the program in class. Would you be able to help me?

I’ve attached couple of the programs the professor wrote in class and summary for some of them.

Thanks, 

Read the case study titled Carlson Companies found at the end of Chapter 10.

1. Let’s discuss the difference between positive association and negative association when describing the relationship between two variables. What do we mean by the least-square criterion? Give a general description of how the least-square criterion is involve in the construction of the least-square line.  Why do we say the least-squares line is the “best-fitting” line for the data set?  
2. Use the Internet and find a magazine or journal article in your field of major interest wherein the content of this chapter (Correlation and Regression – chapter 6) could be applied.  List the variables used, method of data collection, and the general type of information and conclusion drawn.
