Explanation of Solution
Hardware:
- Hardware is a general term which refers to physical components of the computer system.
- There are different kinds of hardware that can be installed inside and outside of a computer.
- Computer components found inside the computer Motherboard, Central Processing Unit (CPU), Random Access Memory (RAM), Hard Disk and many such.
- Computer components found outside the computer Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Printer and many such...
Explanation of Solution
Principal issues in managing hardware and software technology:
- If an electromechanical or electronic component in a system experiences a fault, it is known as hardware failure. To rectify the fault, the component should be repaired or replaced...
Explanation of Solution
Capacity planning and scalability of technology resources:
- The operation that tries to determine the necessary bandwidth amount required to support an application or set of applications in the organization is referred to as capacity planning.
- There are four different techniques to perform capacity planning,
- Linear projection: Based on the current network parameters, one or more new network capacities are predicted.
- Computer simulation: According to the varying user demands, the existing or proposed application is modeled using a computer a based simulation tool...
Explanation of Solution
Cost components used for calculating TCO of technology:
- Hardware cost: It includes the total cost of purchasing different types of hardware like monitor.
- Software cost: It includes the cost of purchasing the software license for users.
- Installation cost: It includes the cost of installing the software...
Explanation of Solution
Benefits of outsourcing:
- Outsourcing is the process of providing the subcontract of job to the third party.
- It reduces the cost, energy, and time, and it is similar to globalization.
- Globalization of job is the important technology that affects the employment.
- Nowadays, the product is not developed and sold in the same country...
Explanation of Solution
Benefits of cloud computing:
- Cloud computing is a type of computing that relies on computer resources sharing rather than the application running on local computing devices such as servers, computers, tablet, and Smart phones.
- In a cloud computing the cloud is used as a symbol for the internet, it means that the cloud computing is a type of internet based computing.
- The general characteristics of cloud computing are:
- On-demand self service
- The customer or the subscriber of the cloud, without communicating to the human from the cloud provider, can increase or decrease the computing requirements on demand.
- The computing requirements are server, network storage, and software applications.
- Broad network access
- The broad network access is an important component of cloud computing.
- The services provided by the cloud provider must be accessible over the network from any location and any standardized platform.
- Resource pooling
- Resource pooling is the ability to provide the services to multiple subscribers for their need at the same time...
- On-demand self service
Explanation of Solution
Benefits of mobile platforms:
- Mobile platform improves the productivity and efficiency of the computer.
- The cost of integrating the systems with required infrastructure is high...

Please answer JAVA OOP problem below:
You are working at a university that tracks students. Each student is identified by their name and faculty advisor. Each faculty advisor is identified by their name, department, and maximum number of students they can advise.
Using solid OO design principles, create a modular program that implements all the classes for the problem and also creates an implementation class that gathers user input for one student and then prints out the information gathered by creating the appropriate data definition and implementation classes. All data must be validated.
I have given the code so far:
Implementation:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Implementation {
public static void main(String[] args) {
FacultyAdvisor facultyAdvisor = new FacultyAdvisor("Sharmin Sultana", "IT", 30);
Student student = new Student("John", facultyAdvisor);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, student.toString());
}
}
