Your Masters project is an extended piece of independent research that allows you to explore, in depth, a topic of your choosing based on your previous learning on the course, as ever, this takes place under the supervision of your main subject supervisor(s). In undertaking this project, you will both extend your knowledge and understanding of an aspect of practice in your field of study and continue to develop transferrable skills of planning, research, analysis, problem solving, critical reflection, and time/self- management. The topic for this piece of work will integrate the knowledge and skills that you have attained whilst on the course. The other modules you have undertaken in your negotiated course provide the intellectual and practical framework for your research and you will be expected to draw on the theoretical, practical, conceptual and methodological concerns that define your field of study. |

Digital, Technology, Innovation and Business |
Computing has now become an essential element of any corporate environment. As the technology is increasingly rolled out it is changing to the point where it is difficult to manually carry out changes to the environment. This module will look at various strategies and tools which can be used to automate this procedure within computing. Any changes which are made now need to meet the same requirements as continuous integration and development which we see in software such as Repeatable, Rollback, Reliable and Predictable. Using automation tools, we are reducing the likelihood of downtime and the associate loss of income. We will look at various tools, from ones which automate and monitor, computing, networking, infrastructure, and cloud environments. |

Within the module you will look at the hypervisor technologies which are currently used to understand how these interact with hardware and allow a virtualized OS to work either natively or through a host OS. You will also look in detail at the different virtual environments, with virtualised storage, hardware for redundancy purposes and operating systems, and learning environments. This technology does bring a number of benefits and risks and you will be expected to understand this and see where the benefits and risks are within this. The supporting infrastructure will also be looked at to give you a holistic view of how virtualisation will be used within companies now and increasingly in the future. |
