DEVELOPING A COMPUTER SERVER SYSTEM WITH VIRTUAL COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
In this study, a computer server system with virtual computer technology was installed
and tested, to determine whether the system, transferred from an original working server, was
service-ready. Once the initial testing was completed, the system was put into service, where
the author followed up, monitored, and examined the working of the system, which was then
installed on a virtual server. Usage and performance matrix were monitored, including CPU,
RAM, and hard disk utilization. To ensure that the virtual computer could handle all required
tasks correctly and effectively, its notification system was also tested. The system sent out
notifications where issues arose, prompting the administrator to take actions, such as adjusting
the virtual computer’s system parameters to suit the system requirements.
318 samples consisting of personnel from The Office of General Education and
Innovative Electronic Learning tested the virtual computer system, and completed a survey
regarding their level of satisfaction in the effectiveness of the system. Results indicated that,
overall, the users were very satisfied with the effectiveness of the system (????
