Outcome:

The student will describe the requirements for an ideal system based on specifications given.

Tool for measurement:

System’s usage for choosing your design:

The company will be using your OS for many different business operations; running as their main data hosting system thatall documents/databases/user-data will be housed on. Users will have CRUD access to this file system (Create-ReadUpdate-Delete).Much of the data stored will be small files of text/spreadsheets/smaller-databases. Users will collaborateoften with each other and will consistently be referencing a single document for contributing to the project. Sometimesspecial access will need to be given (and restricted) to files so only certain users gain access. Some users will should beallowed to use any amount of space to store information, while others will be limited to 100MB or less space. Data for thiscompany CANNOT be lost. The file system should be able to handle something happening on accident that could shutthe system off but recover where it left off. They will also need to ability to go back in time to find data that might havebeen accidentally deleted in the past.
