I came to Brunel with a background in computing having studied an HND in Computing. I was looking for an established university with a good engineering school. Now I can say that Brunel has lived up to my expectations. The modules are interesting and cover current areas of study in Computer Systems. The lecturers and staff are friendly and approachable.

The final year project is a large, integral part of the final year and it is important to pick a topic you are truly interested in. My final year project was a Real-time Distributed Backup System ( ReDBuS) under supervision of Dr.Kalganova.

The aim was to design and implement a real-time auto backup system. In this, four different system architectures (Lite, Professional, Enterprise and Enhanced Enterprise Edition) were proposed and Enhanced Enterprise Edition was implemented and fully tested, which produced excellent results. It distributes tasks/loads into four different independent tiers, which enable the system to handle more jobs/tasks efficiently. In this case, multiple backup tasks will be executed at one time without any battle nick. This is achieved adopting hybrid model, which is adopted from Client/Server and Peer-to-peer model.
