Annyeonghaseyo. Bienvenidos. Huan Ying. 

Welcome to our blog!!!!

Our entry today is about the IT components of the selected IS. IT components involve are hardware, software, telecommunication networks as well as system topology.




Hardware is the objects or physical parts that you can touch, see and tangible. KTB Sdn. Bhd. also need hardware to run their system. The hardware are: 

  • Supercomputer
  • 2* INTEL XEON Processor 3.2Hz/2MB
  • Intergrated Server Management (ESSMIII)
  • Intergrated Dual Broadcom Nextreme Gigabyte Network
  • Intergrated Single Channel Ultra 3 SCSI Adapter
  • 2* Hard Drive, 36 Ultra320, 15K, 80pin SCSI Memory, 4GB, DIMM.

Software is consists of the detailed, preprogrammed instructions that control and coordinate the hardware components in information system. The software in E-Ticketing system consists of system software and application software. 


  1. The system software are MS Win 2003 Cluster and MS SQL Server 2000 Cluster. 
  2. The application software is Microsoft Clustering for Web Server.


Telecommunication network is collection of terminal nodes, links and intermediate nodes which are connected so as to enable telecommunication between the terminal. There are two types of network access solutions provided by MHSB which are:

  1. Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network (IP VPN) 
  2. Combination of multiple options for all Less Busy Sites (Broadband Line TMNet Streamyx and ISDN Dial-up Lines with Internet Access TMNet 1525).

The system topology use by E-Ticketing is Fully-Connection Mesh Topology which mean there is a direct link between all pairs node. All the directions in the picture are link to each other. Firstly, the supercomputer link with ticket's counters and all the agents such as ticket4u, easybook.com, busonlineticket.com and catchthatbus.com. 

The supercomputer provide database to all connected links. The database consists of buses, routes, drivers, trips, estimated time to arrive (ETA), time for departure, seats available and memberships data. 

The software involve in E-Ticketing are system software which are MS Win 2003 and MS SQL Server 2000 Cluster. The application software is Microsoft Clustering for Web Server. The function of the software to control, coordinate, collect, store and analyze the data for all the connected links.


The database and all the links connected to each other by IP VPN and combination of multiple options for all Less Busy Sites. Besides that, the ticket counters and agents are link together to avoid the redundant of seats booking and tickets sold.

That's all for our entry about the IT components and system topology in E-Ticketing system.

See you in the last entry about Security Threats facing by E-Ticketing system.


See you in the next entry. Zai Jian.

Annyeonghigeseyo. Adios. Maasalama. 

Goodbye!!!! <3
