The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a small company decides to use cloud computing to host critical corporate data for protection from natural disasters. The recommended solution is to adopt the public cloud for its cost savings If the CEO insists on adopting the public cloud model, which of the following would be the BEST advice? A. Ensure the cloud provider supports a secure virtual desktop infrastructure
B. Ensure the colocation facility implements a robust DRP to help with business continuity planning.
C. Ensure the on-premises datacenter employs fault tolerance and load balancing capabilities.
D. Ensure the ISP is using a standard help-desk ticketing system to respond to any system outages

3. (6 pts) internally in the computer, with few exceptions, all numerical computation is done using binary numbers. output, however, often uses ascii, which is formed by appending 011 to the left of a bcd code. thus, an algorithm that directly converts a binary integer to a bcd integer is very useful. here is one such algorithm 1) draw lines to the left of the binary number to bound the expected bcd decades. (each decade is a group of 4 bits.) move the binary number one bit to the left. add 0011 to each bcd decade containing a binary value> 0100 repeat steps 2-3 until the last bit in the binary number has been moved into the least significant decade position. (note that when the last bit has been shifted into bcd decade, step 3 is not repeated.) read the bcd result. 2) 3) 4) 5) a) execute the algorithm for the binary number 1101101 b) execute the algorithm for the binary number 01110101110 4. (4 pts) represent the decimal number 3568 in bcd; excess-3 code; ascil; and hex.

1. package newton’s method for approximating square roots (case study 3.6) in a function named newton. this function expects the input number as an argument and returns the estimate of its square root. the script should also include a main function that allows the user to compute square roots of inputs until she presses the enter/return key. 2. convert newton’s method for approximating square roots in project 1 to a recursive function named newton. (hint: the estimate of the square root should be passed as a second argument to the function.) 3. elena complains that the recursive newton function in project 2 includes an extra argument for the estimate. the function’s users should not have to provide this value, which is always the same, when they call this function. modify the definition of the function so that it uses a keyword parameter with the appropriate default value for this argument, and call the function without a second argument to demonstrate that it solves this problem. 4. restructure newton’s method (case study 3.6) by decomposing it into three cooperating functions. the newton function can use either the recursive strategy of project 1 or the iterative strategy of case study 3.6. the task of testing for the limit is assigned to a function named limitreached, whereas the task of computing a new approximation is assigned to a function named improveestimate. each function expects the relevant arguments and returns an appropriate value. 5. a list is sorted in ascending order if it is empty or each item except the last one is less than or equal to its successor. define a predicate issorted that expects a list as an argument and returns true if the list is sorted, or returns false otherwise. (hint: for a list of length 2 or greater, loop through the list and compare pairs of items, from left to right, and return false if the first item in a pair is greater.)

Hyperactive media sales has 10 windows 7 laptop computers used by sales-people in the organization. each laptop computer has several customized applications that are used during the sales process as well as customer relationship management software. all of the applications on the laptops are difficult to configure and have large data files. if all of the laptops have current hardware, what is the easiest way to install windows 10 on them?
