Computers |
How many, how big and how complex are the computers on your site.
Once again greater numbers imply more work.
Are the computers networked? The existence of a network connecting the machines raises additional problems. Are the computers heterogeneous or homogeneous (all different or all the same). It is much simpler if all the computers on the site are exactly the same. Both in the type of operating system and hardware they use as well as the configuration. This almost NEVER happens. Especially when people get hold of them. |
