What are the seven characteristics of an agile MIS infrastructure?

accessibility, availability, maintainability, portability, reliability, scalability, and usability

Three primary side effects of businesses' expanded use of technology:

Increased electronic waste, Increased energy consumption, and Increased carbon emissions.

Dynamic Scaling

Autoscaling, either up or down, of MIS infrastructure based on needed requirements

Business Impact Analysis

identifies all critical business functions and the effect that a specific disaster may have upon them; primarily used to ensure a company has made the right decisions about the order of recovery priorities and strategies

Cloud Bursting

when a company uses its own computing infrastructure for normal usage and accesses the cloud when it needs to scale for peak load requirements, ensuring a sudden spike in usage does not result in poor performance or system crashes

Cloud Fabric

the software that makes possible the benefits of cloud computing, such as multi-tenancy; the primary reason cloud computing promotes the seven abilities- allowing a business to make its data and applications accessible, available, maintainable, portable, reliable, scalable and usable

Cloud Fabric Controller

an individual who monitors and provisions cloud resources, similar to a server administrator at an individual company; they provision resources, balance loads, manage servers, update systems and ensure all environments are available and operating correctly

Community Cloud

cloud that serves a specific community with common business models, security requirements and compliance considerations; these are emerging in highly regulated industries as financial services and pharmaceutical companies

Hybrid Cloud

cloud that includes two or more private, public or community clouds, but each cloud remains separate and is only linked by technology and that enabes data and application portability

Incident

unplanned interruption of service

Incident record

contains all the details of an incident

incident management

the process responsible for managing how incidents are identifies and corrected

multi-tenancy

a single instance of a system serves multiple customers; multiple tenants can access the same system; the service provider only has to update its system

Network

a communications system created by linking two or more devices and establishing a standard methodology in which they can communicate

Private Cloud

cloud that only serves one customer or organization and can be located on the customer's premises or off the customer's premises; the optimal solution for an organization like the gov. that has needs high privacy

Public Cloud

promotes massive global and industrywide applications offered to the general public; customers are never required to provision, manage, upgrade or replace hardware or software; pricing is utility style and customers pay only for the resources they use

Serviceability

how quickly a third party can change a system to ensure it meets user needs and the terms or any contracts, including agreed levels of reliability, maintainability or avaliability

Single Tenancy

each customer or tenant must purchase and maintain an individual system; the service provider has to update its system in every company where the software was running

Technology Recovery Strategies

focuses specifically on prioritizing the order for restoring hardware, software and data across the organization that best meets business recovery requirements; details the order of importance for recovering hardware, software, data centers and networking (one not working will shut everything down)

Web Accessibility Initiatives (WAI)

help make the web accessible to people with disabilities (cognitive, auditory, neurological, physical, speech and visual) to allow them to participate equally
