MIS 301 Exam 2 Ch.12
LAMP - correct answer ✔An acronym standing for Linux, the Apache Web
server software, the MySQL database, and any of several programming
languages that start with P (e.g., Perl, Python, or PHP).
Linux - correct answer ✔An open source software operating system.
Black Swans - correct answer ✔Unpredicted, but highly impactful events.
Scalable computing resources can help a firm deal with spiking impact from
Black Swan events. The phrase entered the managerial lexicon from the 2007
book of the same name by Nassim Taleb.
Cloud Computing - correct answer ✔Replacing computing resources—either
an organization's or individual's hardware or software—with services provided
over the Internet.
Cloudbursting - correct answer ✔Describes the use of cloud computing to
provide excess capacity during periods of spiking demand. Cloudbursting is a
scalability solution that is usually provided as an overflow service, kicking in
as needed.
Infrastructure As A Service (IaaS) - correct answer ✔Where cloud providers
offer services that include running the remote hardware, storage, and
networking (i.e., the infrastructure), but client firms can choose software used
(which may include operating systems, programming languages, databases,
and other software packages). In this scenario the cloud firm usually manages
the infrastructure (keeping the hardware and networking running), while the
client has control over most other things (operating systems, storage,
deployed applications, and perhaps even security and networking features like
firewalls and security systems).
