  1. CHAPTER 9 Tech Guide 3 Organizational Use of Social Media & Emerging Technologies

  2. Announcements • Today’s Class: • Web 2.0 and Social Networks (Ch 9) • Emerging Technologies (TG3) • Friday: • Excel Solver Tutorial • Bring your blue casebooks • Monday: • Chapter 10: IS within the Org.

  3. Review – Chapter 8 • Wireless Technologies & Networks • Mobile Commerce Applications • Wireless Security - Threats

  4. Chapter Outline 9.1Web 2.0 Underlying Technologies 9.2 Web 2.0 Applications 9.3 Categories of Web 2.0 Sites Group Exercise – Organizational use of Social Media

  29. TECHNOLOGY GUIDE OUTLINE Introduction Server Farms Virtualization Cloud Computing

  30. Introduction Stages in the evolution of IT infrastructure: Standalone mainframe Mainframe and dumb terminals Standalone PC LAN Enterprise computing Cloud computing Mobile computing

  31. Server Farms Contain hundreds of thousands of networked computer servers. • Examples: • Google – estimated to use 900,000 servers. • Facebook Server Farm Source: Media Bakery

  32. Virtualization Virtualization allows companies to make one server appear to be multiple, virtual servers. Benefits of Virtualization: • Cost Savings (low number of physical servers) • Enhanced Agility • More Service Oriented Focus of IT Dept

  33. Cloud Computing Tasks are performed by computers physically removed from the user and accessed over a network http://www.technologyreview.com/news/506976/how-to-steal-data-from-your-neighbor-in-the-cloud

  34. Cloud Computing Services Cloud infrastructure as a service • Use processing, storage, networking, etc. • Amazon provides these types of services Cloud platform as a service • Use programming tools • Force.com allows users to develop in the cloud Cloud software as a service • Use software hosted in the cloud

  35. Technical Guide 3 - Review Describe a server farm and provide an example. Define virtualization, and discuss advantages.

  36. Technical Guide 3 – Review (cont.) Define cloud computing and analyze the advantages and disadvantages.
