Introduction
Computer systems are fundamental to any kind of need in
todays world. Computer System is a device which could perform
different kind of logical and mathematical operations and can be
configured as per the requirement. The study will review the
function of computer systems and to be able to design a
computer system. A computer system configuration will also be
presented to meet the design specification of ABC Company.

Impact of Computer System
Education: The smart class concept has changed scenario of
education model and developed attractive and interesting
process that is supporting the learning and teaching by using
images, videos and audio.
Business: Computer system at work place is having positive
impact as record keeping, market analysis, planning,
forecasting and communication with customer and
employees.
Research: Mathematical and scientific calculations can be
done using computers in a short duration of time.

Computer hardware and their
functions
CPU: It is an important hardware element of computer system
that process that input of users and sent directions to
software for running the programs
Monitor: Monitor displays the activities of users and shows
the videos and images.

Hard disk: This hardware of computer system provides the
space for storing data and information that are important for
users and would be useful for future prospective.
Keyboard: By using this hardware source users input the data
which will be processed by the CPU.
Printer: Printer print the pages with desired information using
images and diagram.
Mouse: Mouse plays significant role to input the direction and
instructions of users that helps to make easy process. 5

Different type of computer
systems
Supercomputers: These are powerful computers which are used for
specific purpose like research and exploration
Mainframes: Mainframes are large processing machines comparatively
much lesser capacity then supercomputers. These are used by big
organisation like banks, insurance companies etc.
Minicomputer: These are used by small businesses and do not have
high processing capacity as that of mainframes and super computers.
These are not meant for single users.
Microcomputer: These are the cheapest among all computer systems
and are widely used in education, entertainment and work purposes.

These include desktops, laptops etc.

System Specification for ABC
Company

www.hndassignments.co.uk
 Evaluate the suitability of a system
design specification

The recommended size for the hard disk is 4 TB as the size of

the good quality images and video is more.
The product recommended for the ABC Company is suitable as
it provides the processing capability to the client as desired by
his business and is also meeting the defined budget.
In terms of the technology the solution is up to date in terms
of the operating system as well as the physical hardware.

Build and configuring a computer
system
There are two main steps in configuring as system.
These are :
Assembling of hardware
Installation of operating system and software.

11

www.hndassignments.co.uk
Steps to validate the configuration
For validating the system, following are the measures to be
adopted:
Check whether the computer peripherals are working
Monitor is set to optimal resolution
System has booted in optimal time
Free space is available in hard disk as per the specification.
Background tasks are running
Free random memory

Backup Strategies
For avoiding the data losses and use the data in future backup of
system is essential. In current scenario many incidents can
happen that could lead to system crash and data loss which
cannot be used anymore. Two backup types are:

Differential backup: The user can take the backup of all the
differential changes from the last backup
Incremental backup: It takes back up of all the incremental
data that has been taken from the last backup

Upgrade of System
In order to upgrade the system, management is required to
consider the following components that plays important role to
improve the performance of system.

RAM: In order to upgrade the system organization needs to

increase the RAM of the system that will influence the
performance of system.
Processors: In order to improve the performance of system,
organization needs to improve the processers that have
significant impact on the performance of computer..

Conclusion
The present study has reviewed the different aspects of
computer. The study has proposed a configuration for ABC
Company which is involved in graphic designs and video editing.
The study has also focused on assembling of system and
installing of operating system. Backup processes and
defragmentation has also been studies.
