CiS 500 Week 2 D2
Imagine you are starting a Web business and want to incorporate cloud technology. Describe how you would incorporate cloud technology into your business model. Justify your response.
If I was starting a wed based business I would incorporate cloud technology in to my business by cost analyzes. Cloud computing saves money with Saas services since you are paying for what you need and use. It also takes away having to worry about the maintenance and upkeep of a server. It is cheaper to use cloud computing for a startup company then doing everything yourself and worrying about all the software licensing fees.
Assume you are a CIO of a startup company. The company needs to implement an IT infrastructure. Describe the infrastructure and argue which of the four characteristics of an IT infrastructure (dependable, manageable, adaptable, and affordable) is the most important to consider when acquiring IT infrastructure support components. Support your response.
The next book describes the four characteristics of IT Infrastructure as follows:
Dependable – Dependability means that the infrastructure meets availability, reliability, and scalability requirements of the company’s information systems and applications. Manageable – IT infrastructure determines the complexity of managing hardware and software required to deliver dependable applications. Adaptable – when additional application capacity is needed, organizations are able to scale up the infrastructure as needed. Affordable – In today’s IT reality, dependability, manageability and adaptability are not as significant as affordability. (Turban & Volonino, 2011, p.46) I think that dependability is the most important characteristics of an IT infrastructure. Without it you could be faced with down time when a system fails. It also becomes a matter of life in death when you think about hospitals, chemical and nuclear plants or even 911 dispatch. If the system fails lives could be lost or hazard that could have been avoided
