Distributed Systems Architectures, computer science homework help

One of the first tasks in distributed systems development is the selection of the architecture. The architecture determines how the various parts of the distributed system will operate and communicate.

For this assignment, you will identify the architecture that will be used in your distributed system project and you will modify your consultant’s analysis report to address any new issues you discover.

The following are the project deliverables:

• Update the Consultant’s Analysis Report document title page with a new date and project name.
• Update the previously completed sections based on your instructor’s feedback.
• Include the following new content:
  • Architecture Selection
    • Compare and contrast at least 3 potential architectures for your system, and then select the one that applies the best to your project. In addition to hardware architectures you may also consider “The Cloud”.
    • Describe the architecture that is appropriate for your distributed system based on the results of your analysis.
    • Justify your architecture selection with a summary of your analysis results and conclusions.
• Be sure to update your table of contents before submission.
• Name the document yourname_IT401_IP2.doc.
• Submit the document for grading.
