Computer Guides: Hardware, File Preservation, and Computing Explained - Yenra

Personal computers and workspaces

Alienware PC Cooling: Airflow, Liquid Coolers, and Service Decisions

Identify your cooling assembly, compare repeatable workload observations, and plan model-specific Alienware service.

Modular PCs: Evaluate Repairability and Upgrade Options

Evaluate replaceable components, documented compatibility, complete upgrade costs, and the checks needed after a repair.

Laptop Desks: Set Up a Stable, Comfortable, Ventilated Workspace

Arrange laptop screen height, typing controls, stability, and ventilation around the person and the task.

Laptop Bags: Measure Fit, Compare Protection, and Pack Well

Measure your laptop and bag compartment, evaluate padding and closures, and test the complete carried load.

Tablet PCs: Choose Pen Input, Applications, and a Mobile Workflow

Choose a tablet PC by checking application support, pen compatibility, display conditions, and a complete document workflow.

Field work and wearable computing

Rugged Laptops: Test Evidence, Field Requirements, and Buying Decisions

Match rugged laptops to working conditions, assess model-specific test reports, and run a practical acceptance trial.

Rugged Tablet PCs: Test Offline Work, Capture, and Field Handover

Run a field-tablet acceptance trial covering applications, accessories, offline records, synchronization, and handover.

Wearable Computers: Choose a Workflow and Run a Useful Pilot

Evaluate wrist and head-mounted computers with task trials that measure correctness, time, comfort, and record delivery.

Files, discs, and home media

How Long CDs and DVDs Last: Check, Copy, and Preserve Your Files

Preserve files on aging optical discs with a copying workflow, verification tool, and a plan for independent copies.

CD/DVD Disc Publishers: Prepare, Verify, and Reconcile a Batch

Plan a disc-publishing run with an approved master, matching labels, verification, recipient testing, and accepted-copy counts.

Media-Center PCs: Plan Storage, Playback, and a Reliable Setup

Plan local playback or a media server, test codecs and clients, estimate storage, and troubleshoot television playback.

Network clients, servers, and computing projects

Single-Board Computers: Choose Hardware and Build a Working System

Choose a single-board computer using software, interfaces, power, storage, and cooling requirements, then validate the assembled system.

Network Clients: Thin Clients, Remote Desktops, and Terminal Workflows

Map applications and peripherals to a network client, test session recovery, and evaluate the complete service.

Cluster Computing: Workloads, Scaling, and Measured Performance

Determine when multiple computers help, calculate speedup and efficiency, and design a repeatable cluster benchmark.

High-Speed Cluster Interconnects: Measure Latency, Bandwidth, and Useful Work

Choose relevant network benchmarks, calculate communication costs, and test whether an interconnect improves the real application.

Dense Blade Servers: Plan Power, Cooling, and Capacity After Failure

Evaluate blade-server density through complete infrastructure budgets, shared dependencies, and useful capacity after a specified failure.

Solaris Security: Inventory, Review Evidence, and Validate Changes

Plan an Oracle Solaris 11.4 security review covering update level, roles, services, monitoring evidence, and recoverable changes.
