Eras in IT infrastructure evolution and its distinguishing characteristics:
The evolution of IT infrastructure can be explained in Five Stages as mentioned above:
- From the year 1959 to the present, the era can be described as General – Purpose mainframe & minicomputer era. It is characterised by a centralised processing mainframe and performs certain decentralised and departmental
computing via networked minicomputers through its thousands of terminals. - The period from 1981 saw the utilisation of standalone desktop computers and office productivity tools and is known as the Personal computer era...

Moore’s Law and the Law of Mass Digital Storage
- Moore’s law mentions that the quantity of very low-cost manufacturing components on a chip has doubled every year. This doubling rate was revised to once in every 2 years.
- Law of Mass Digital Storage describes that the amount of stored information is doubling every year and the cost of storing digital informed is reducing exponentially at 100 percent a year...
Explanation of Solution
Network economics, declining communications costs, and technology standards affecting IT infrastructure:
- Network economics:
- Metcalfe’s law describes that a liner growth in a network’s participant count has an exponential growth effect in the value of the network.
- Declining communication costs:
- The utilization of communications, internet usage has exponential...

- A controller is required for a home security alarm, providing the followingfunctionality. The alarm does nothing while it is disarmed (‘switched off’). It canbe armed (‘switched on’) by entering a PIN on the keypad. Whenever thealarm is armed, it can be disarmed by entering the PIN on the keypad.If motion is detected while the alarm is armed, the siren should sound AND asingle SMS message sent to the police to notify them. Further motion shouldnot result in more messages being sent. If the siren is sounding, it can only bedisarmed by entering the PIN on the keypad. Once the alarm is disarmed, asingle SMS should be sent to the police to notify them.Two (active-high) input signals are provided to the controller:MOTION: Asserted while motion is detected inside the home.PIN: Asserted for a single clock cycle whenever the PIN has beencorrectly entered on the keypad.The controller must provide two (active-high) outputs:SIREN: The siren sounds while this output is asserted.POLICE: One SMS…arrow_forward4G+ Vo) % 1.1.
