Redesign IS Multimediální laboratoře VSE (GML)

This paper aims to describe and propose solutions to problems impairing the functionality of the Prague School of Economics' Graphics and Multimedia Laboratory (GML). The problems to be solved arise in the current information technology devices, more specifically in data back-up, usuitable hardware and lan connection as well as missing software. Finally, the paper discusses the idea of puchasing devices to be used outside the GML. The multimedia laboratory is concerned with issues relating to graphics creation and video adjustment. The solution put forward in this paper proposes using specific hardware designed for editing and graphics applications. While an effort is made to seek a multiple solution, the proposed adjustments require purchasing new hardware and software which are innovative if rather costly. Financially demanding as those are, both the optimal and the more budget-friendly options are introduced. Finally, an overview table summarises the costs, supplemented by detailed calculations. The solutions proposed are based on generally accepted procedures. These are modified in view of the author's experience of network administration and devising specific coputer systems.
