ISA EXAM 2
Chapter 5: infrastructure - correct answer
MIS infrastructure - correct answer includes the plans for how a firm will build, deploy,
use, and share its data, processes, and MIS assets
solid MIS can:
-reduce costs
-improve productivity
-optimize business operations
-generate growth
-increase profitability
MIS is dynamic; continually changes as business needs change: each time new iPhone
comes out this needs to be revised to support the device
every company regardless of size relies on this
Hardware - correct answer physical devices associated with a computer system
physical phone itself
software - correct answer set of instructions the hardware executes to carry out
specific tasks
anything telling the computer what to do, web browsers, photos, games
operating system and apps
video - correct answer two key concepts foundational to technology
binary: series of 1's and 0's. 8 of these create one byte. one byte creates a single
character: binary is the only language computers only understanding
-computing and networking wouldn't work without it
Moore's law: cost of computing and data communications and storage and essentially 0.
allowed us to have power and create more powerful instruments for less and less
money
video on hardware - correct answer hardware:
-clients: end user device (smartphones, tablets, laptops)
-server: computer dedicated to providing info in response to requests
--servers stored in specially designed data centers
,3 basic hardware components
- HDD (hard disk drive): where storage is (photos, documents)
- RAM (random access memory): temp kind of memory where applications can be
called into it for faster access
- CPU (central processing unit): brain of device; processing requests (ultra-fast)
most hardware and software run via network - correct answer
network - correct answer communications systems created by linking two or more
devices and establishing a standard methodology in which they communicate
most companies use a specific form of network infrastructure called client and server
network
client - correct answer computer designed to request info from a server
server - correct answer computer dedicated to providing info in response to requests
example: - correct answer when someone uses a web browser (client) to access a
website (server responding with the web page being requested by client)
enterprise architect - correct answer a person grounded in technology, fluent in
business, and able to provide the important bridge between MIS and the business
firms employ this to manage change and update MIS infrastructure
three primary areas where enterprise architects focus when maintaining firms MIS
infrastructure - correct answer Supporting operations (information MIS infrastructure):
identifies where and how important info is maintained and secured
Supporting change (agile MIS infrastructure): includes hardware, software, and
telecommunications equipment that provides underlying foundation to support
organizations goals
Supporting the environment (sustainable MIS infrastructure): identifies ways a company
can grow in terms of computing resources while becoming less dependent on
hardware/energy consumption
INFO MIS INFRASTUCTURE SECTION: - correct answer
Info MIS Infrastructure - correct answer identifies where and how important
information, such as customer records, is maintained and secured
supports day-to-day business operations and plans for emergencies
, three primary elements of info mis infrastructure - correct answer - backup and
recovery plan
- disaster recovery plan
- business continuity plan
back up and recovery plan - correct answer minimize the damage of a system crash
backup: exact copy of systems info
recovery: ability to get a system's info in an event of a system crash
primary difference between them is speed and cost
fault tolerance - correct answer the ability for a system to respond to unexpected
failures or system crashes as the backup system immediately and automatically takes
over with no loss of service
example: enables business to support operations if there is a power failure or flood
EXPENSIVE FORM OF BACK UP
only mission critical applications use it
failover - correct answer a specific type of fault tolerance, occurs when a redundant
storage server offers an exact replica of the real-time data, and if the primary server
crashes, the users are automatically directed to the secondary server or backup server
high speed and cost method of back up and recovery
failback - correct answer occurs when the primary machine recovers and resumes
operations, taking over from the secondary server
disaster recovery plan - correct answer a detailed process for recovering information
or a system in the event of a catastrophic disaster
to combat these disasters below they create this
foresees possibility that not only computer equipment but also buildings may be
destroyed
disasters effects on companies/business operations (4) - correct answer - disrupting
communications (widespread communication outages can be devastating to some
firms)
