Purpose of the assessment (with ULO Mapping)
The purpose of this assignment is to develop skills in critical thinking and understanding of Networked Applications Management (NAM).
This assignment will provide scope to explore and learn working mechanisms of cutting-edge tools and technologies in regards to NAM.
Student will develop the skills of critically understanding the underlying possible details of a chosen topic, and these skills are to make them conversant with possible NAM related practice and processes to apply their learning and understanding to problems.
The assignment will also require attention to relate networked application protocols with the underlying networked infrastructure with a view to managing networked applications.
This assignment will provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate the evolutionary knowledge and skills towards understanding the domain of cutting edge distributed systems.

A group will select a topic to explore its designated areas as presented in the following table. If a group of two students can collaborate on the areas of a topic, there must have clear descriptions of individual contribution and collaborative contribution.List of Topic
1 Virtualization With respect to (wrt) VmWare
Explore Virtualisation, Virtual Machines, and Architecture of Virtual Machines along with protocols, techniques, and frameworks for Networked Application Management (NAM).
2 Server Virtualization
Explore Server Virtualization and its relevant middleware, and corresponding protocols for NAM. How does Server Virtualization benefit IT services over Non-Server-Virtualization?
3 Platform Virtualization
Explore Platform Virtualization and its relevant middleware, and corresponding protocols for NAM. How does Platform Virtualization benefit IT services over Non- Platform -Virtualization?
4 Desktop Virtualization
Explore Desktop Virtualization and its relevant middleware, and corresponding protocols for NAM. How does Desktop Virtualization benefit IT services over Non- Desktop -Virtualization?
