Executive Summary
This report addresses four major concerns that the New York City Council has for its ageing IT infrastructure located at City Hall. After a recent renovation, the cost of project exceeded the planned cost by more than $50 million. This has impacted on their vision of improving the current IT infrastructure. The mayor of New York has approached our firm and has shared some of their concerns they have and have asked us to address the following concerns.
The first concern relates to the New York City council having more than 1000 personal computers (PCs) operating at City Hall throughout the different departments. There is a need to reduce the total amount of PCs across the department to save on energy costs as well as updating the current operating system (OS) to Windows 10. The second concern relates to the current specifications of the PCs in relation to Windows 10 system requirements and whether they can be salvaged and used for the next three years. About half of the current PCs will have to be removed as they will not be able to last for three years. The third concern relates to the security of the OS system, where a recommendation has been requested for the best server operating system. The final concern relates to the best method of securely backing up documentation that can be accessed by all councillors at any time of the day.
This report contains all the recommendations for a new operating system, hardware requirements, a recommendation for a server operating system and the best method to securely share documents. The recommendations that are contained within this report are what we believe will address all the concerns that have been put forth.

Introduction
Technology has changed the very way that we interact with each other and how we conduct business. It is a powerful resource that is ever-changing which requires us to constantly evolve on how we harness the technology (Duncan 2011). The Mayor of New York City (NYC) has approached our firm and has asked for assistance in budgeting for new IT equipment in relation to four major concerns over the current state of the IT infrastructure in City Hall. These concerns are the current energy usage of the 1000 personal computers, whether the current PCs meet minimum specification, security implications and secure documentation backup. This report outlines the most suitable operating system for the councils standard operating environment, new and existing hardware requirements, recommended server operating system for optimal security and the recommended cloud-based services for storage.

Micro Processors Present Technology and Up gradations Requiredijtsrd
In this paper we will deal with the current technology being used in microprocessor. We will analyse both the hardware and the software and their interfacing with each other and How to better them to increase speed and reduce size. Assembly language with its constituent syntax in NASM on Linux Operating System will be discussed and we will show how it can be used to be executed with minimum time gap. Assembler will be discussed and user friendly high level language to be used as fast as machine language will be discussed with recommendations. We will be also comparing and contrasting various micro processor, their architecture and speed with each other so that to highlight advantages of each over other and also to suggest issues and their respective solutions.
