- deliver your result cost effectively

2).The Usage of E-Dictionary in Institute of Higher Education – on 14 Aug 2009 The Speaker of the Seminar is Mr Zahari Dollah from Anpec Global Corporation Sdn Bhd. In the seminar, he outlined the use of applications that includes e-Dictionary functions as follows:-

1) AS A WORD REFERENCE 
E-Dictionary can be used as a reference when students or teachers who do not understand the word in any media source. The dictionary acts as an alternative to existing book dictionaries. 

2) AS A RESOURCE FOR UNDERSTANDING SOLUTIONS 
Understanding of words is important in ensuring accurate understanding. The need to refer to book dictionaries which is usually thick make students ignore the dictionary and only guess the meaning of the word. This may lead to an inaccurate understanding or unfaithful in any way. 

3) AS A WORK REVISION 
In MS Word, there are only spelling checker in English. Therefore, all work in typed in Malay is not checked/revised. With the use of E-Kamus/Dictionary of 5:02, spelling in Malay not only revised but the next closest word is also given (the smart proposition). 

4) SIMPLIFY AND EXPEDITE LEARNING 
Internet is the main source of information when searching for student review subjects. With understanding and a good vocabulary, the students can reinforce learning more quickly and easy. 

5) FOSTER ENRICH VOCABULARY
Before the usage of e-Dictionary, mastery of vocabulary usually requires patience and a high sense of curiosity. However, with the use of e-Dictionary, each student can master vocabulary quickly and easily. Hence, the culture of searching new words can be instilled among the students.

(a) 2009 E-Lecture Project 
i .Introduction E-Lecture is an international collaborative project among 3 universities namely Kyoto University of Japan, Tsinghua University of China and University of Malaya. The method used to share lecture is by using video conferencing technology in which lecturers from each university take turns to provide lectures. The topics is on Environment Science which included Air, Water and Solid Pollutions, Management and Control of Environment. The 2007 E-Lecture project is a continuity from 2006 E-Lecture Project. Video Conferencing required main equipment consists of Video Conferencing Set, camera, LCD Projector and screen. Video conferencing also required stable network connection and identification of the IP address. In order for the project to be successfully implemented, the three universities have to provide high capacity network connection to ensure that the audio and video is successfully transmitted. The E-Lecture was conducted in Video Conferencing Room (formerly known as Seminar Room C1), Faculty of Science.

Centralised antivirus monitoring has been consistently and continuously implemented since january 2007. Through the monitoring, the number of computers that received update, the number of computers infected with virus and the effectiveness of antivirus policies in cleaning a found virus were recorded every day. Identitities of Computers with repeated virus infection had been communicated to the relevant PTJs` representatives via e-mail for cleaning. The objectives achieved through the monitoring are: Status and number of computers that received antivirus updates could be known. This information is important because failure of a computer to get latest update can expose the computer to the latest virus infection. Number of virus infection events could be detected. Information about computer with highest virus infection also could be known. This piece of information can be utilized to implement cleaning and prevention actions on the affected computer. Effectiveness of antivirus policy to take action against the detected virus. Antivirus that has been configured properly is able to clean the detected virus without the need for human intervention. The following is a summary of data collected from the Symantec and McAfee consoles for the period January to December 2009: See Graph.

ICT Security, Training and Quality Control Division in collaboration with the Data Center Management Division and Administration Applications Division had implemented ISIS and iHRIS Oracle server disaster recovery simulation on June 2009. During the test run, there was a problem found in the network configuration that temporarily impaired the accessibility of relevant servers for testers in Kampus Kota. Only testers from PTM could access the servers involved. Here are the total times taken for the ISIS and iHRIS recovery: No. Activity Period ISIS iHRIS 1 Server and Data Recovery 2 hours and 20 minutes 1 hour and 20 minutes 2 System Test 15 minutes 27 minutes 3 Recovery period (Total) 2 hours and 35 minutes 1 hour 47 minutes Here are the problems that had been identified during the exercise: High server room temperature caused by damaged air conditioning equipment. ISIS and iHRIS servers were inaccessible by the testers in Kampus Kota segment. There were problems in the network interface where the packet loss occurred after DHCP Server hop. Improvements were proposed to ensure that future simulations will attain near real-life disaster situation. In short, the Disaster Recovery Plan provided is effective. All checklists could be applied and implemented. However, network problems that had been identified need to be corrected so that the servers involved are always readily available to be accessed according to plan if disaster really occurs.

As one of the efforts to enforce ICT security, Security Division, ICT Training and Quality Control Division had conducted safety audits on the network hardware, servers and applications.

Network Division 2009

During 2009, Universiti Malaya by means of Pusat Teknologi Maklumat (PTM) had gone through twice the process of upgrading the leased-line project. The first part involved an upgrade from 200Mbps to 250Mbps and the second part of the upgrade from 250Mbps to 300Mbps. Faster and more efficient web surfing, direct connection and any other online applications experience to the Internet are some of the significant impact from this project.

Previous Leased-line Transfer Rate : 200Mbps
Upgrade (1st part) : 250Mbps
Upgrade (2nd part) : 300Mbps
In order to have student to experience a better service quality while accessing the Internet, UM by means of PTM has upgraded its wireless LAN leased-line to the Internet twice from previous state transfer rate of 60Mbps to the 80Mbps and again to the 100Mbps transfer rate speed. This shows our high commitment to give the service and facilities to the students. 

The upgrades were carried out to cater an increase of number of wireless user in the Campus.

Previous Leased-line Transfer Rate : 60Mbps
Upgrade (1st part) : 80Mbps
Upgrade (2nd part) : 100Mbps
PTM received applications and requests from PTjs to have date points install at their departments for newly appointed staff or just a replacement of the faulty existing data point. Throughout the year 2009, two quotations had been conducted involved 1000 unit of data points. To ensure the requests are to be handled in the shortest time period, PTM had performed its procurement in advance by quotation and when there is a request concerning data point installation, appointed contractors will do the necessary installation and number of data points are then to be deducted from the number of data points awarded in the tender/quotation. This may ensure the user request will not take too much time to be carry out.

Total of Data Points Installed : 1000 units
From the survey conducted in the year 2008, almost 200 lecture/seminar rooms in faculty buildings have not been equipped with LCD Projectors facility. PTM has taken an initiative to request an allocation to buy and install LCD Projectors in all of those rooms indentified earlier. With the RM 1million allocation approval, 160 unit of LCD Projectors were then been installed together with the screens. This project has yet to be recognised as helping the faculties in teaching and learning process. The introduction of the facilities can be considered as enhancing the image of the University in facility preparation or technology usage involved during in learning and teaching process.

Total Number of LCD Projector : 160 units
Network Division had performed collaboration with two other divisions in PTM (Application Division & Data Centre Division) in an integration process of the LDAP and wireless system project. This project is critical as thousands of wireless users in UM will no longer have to apply and register for the wireless account if they want to use the wireless facilities within the campus. As they are all were given a unique ID for them to use the email system, that same ID then can be use for authenticating into UM wireless system.
192 unit of data points with 18 unit of network switches had been installed at all the voting centres to ensure E-Vote process can be carry out online.

Total Number of Data Points : 192 units
Total Number of Network Switch : 18 units
