LIST OF HARDWARE AND NETWORKING DEVICES

DATA SERVER: It is a kind of warehouse where IUB store and maintain its data and information. It holds the database management system and the databases. Upon requests from the client machines, it searches the database for selected records and passes back the result to the Clint server. The registration process of IUB is managed or control by the data base server. IUB is using HP Server which consisted of three distinct application-specific integrated circuits; a memory and I/O controller, a scalable memory adapter and an I/O adapter. WEB SERVER: A Web server is a computer system that hosts websites. It runs Web server software, which provides access to hosted webpages over the Internet. A fast Internet connection allows Web servers to support multiple connections at one time without slowing down. IUB uses its webpage. It has an IP address and domain name by which the web servers allows a fast way to run the registration process. ROUTER: A router is a device that forwards data packets along networks of IUB. A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP's network. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more networks connect. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the internet. A data packet is typically forwarded from one router to another through the networks that constitute the internetwork until it reaches its destination node. SWITCHES: Switches control the flow of network traffic based on the address information in each packet. A switch learns which devices are connected to its ports (by monitoring the packets it receives), and then forwards on packets to the appropriate port only. This allows simultaneous communication across the switch, improving bandwidth. Core switches, Fiber distribution switches, Ethernet are used by IUB for its operational process. WIFI DEVICES: Wi-Fi refers to wireless networking technology that allows computers and other devices to communicate over a wireless signal. technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data or connect to the internet wirelessly using radio waves. In every floor there is Wi Fi connected and password protected so the students can access information from anywhere in the university premises with their devices rather than going to the Registrar office. FIRE WALL: A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. Fire Wall is basically software or hardware-based network security system that controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic by analyzing the data packets and determining whether they should be allowed through or not. IUB is using firewall to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets.

THE LIST OF HARD WARE FOR PERSONAL COMPUTERS OF IUB

COMPUTER CASE: A computer case is a box that has bits of computer in it (excluding the display, keyboard and mouse). CPU: CPU is the abbreviation for central processing unit. Sometimes referred to simply as the central processor, but more commonly called processor, the CPU is the brains of the computer where most calculations take place. In terms of computing power, the CPU is the most important element of a computer system. MOTHER BOARD: The motherboard is the main component inside the case. It is a large rectangular board with integrated circuitry that connects the other parts of the computer including the CPU, the RAM, the disk drives (CD, DVD, hard disk, or any others). RAM: (RAM) Random access memory stores the code and data that are being actively accessed by the CPU. ROM: (ROM) Read Only Memory stores the BIOS that runs when the computer is powered on or otherwise begins execution. EXPANSION CARD: The expansion card in computing is a printed circuit board that can be inserted into an expansion slot of a computer motherboard or backplane to add functionality to a computer system via the expansion bus. HARD DISK DEVICE: It is the secondary storage device computer data storage. REMOVEABLE MEDIA : Optical Disc Drives for reading from and writing to various kinds of optical media, including Compact Discs such as CD-ROMs, DVDs, DVD-RAMs and Blu-ray Discs. Optical discs are the most common way of transferring digital video, and are popular for data storage as well. INPUT DEVICE: Input devices allow the user to enter information into the system, or control its operation. Keyboard - a device to input text and characters by depressing buttons (referred to as keys or buttons). Mouse - a pointing device that detects two dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface. Web cam - a video camera used to provide visual input that can be easily transferred over the internet. Microphone - an acoustic sensor that provides input by converting sound into electrical signals. OUT PUT DEVICES : Output devices display information in a human readable form. Monitor : A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers Printer - a device that produces a permanent human-readable text or graphic document.

 Speakers: Computer speakers, or multimedia speakers, are speakers external to a computer, that disable the lower fidelity built-in speaker. DATA BASE DESIGN A properly designed database provides you with access to up-to-date, accurate information. Because a correct design is essential to achieving your goals in working with a database, investing the time required to learn the principles of good design makes sense. It produce detailed data model of a data base. The physical design choices and physical storage parameters needed to generate DATA DEFIANATION LANGUAGE for creating data base. The data base designer are responsible for the number of steps to carry out the data base process. In order to store the information of students the developers of IRAS has design the database system and the ER (Entity Relation Model) helps the data base in an effective way to perform the registration. THE DATABASE DESIGN PROCESS Determine the purpose of your database : the first step that will help prepare for the remaining steps. Find and organize the information required: the process of gathering all the related information to record in the database such as student name, ID, courses etc. Divide the information in tables: this step divide all the gathered information or data items into major entities or subject. Turn information items in column: this step decides which information are to be stored at each table and displaying the information as a column in the table. Example students name and ID. Specify primary key: it chooses the primary key of each table as a column or a set of column to identify each row of the table. Set up the table relationships: this step maintain the relationship of the data and relate them. Refine the design: this step analyze the errors and then create tables and add records of sample data checks the results from the table and make adjustments if necessary. Apply the normalization rules: this step apply the data normalization rules to see if the tables are structured correctly.
