Closing Case - Planning for Rise of Cloud Computing at Microsoft 1.) Cloud computing has become a new trend in the technology world. It is the upcoming stage for the Internet where every computing need can be accessed through a web browser at anytime‚ anywhere. It is also very economically appealing because the cost is so cheap. Cloud services have the potential to reduce information technology (IT) costs‚ increase operating efficiencies and create new types of business opportunities. So‚ what

Abstract Green computing is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently. The goals are similar to green chemistry; that is reduce the use of hazardous materials‚ maximize energy efficiency during the product ’s lifetime‚ and promote recyclability or biodegradability of defunct products and factory waste. Taking into consideration the popular use of information technology industry‚ it has to lead a revolution of sorts by turning green in a manner no industry has ever done before

Green Computing & Green IT What is Green Computing or Green IT? Bill Gates predicted many years ago of a PC in every home. He was widely considered to be simply promoting an unlikely scenario with the aim of boosting Microsoft’s profits. However‚ how right he truly was. Not just at home but also virtually every commercial organisation of any size is heavily reliant upon IT. At home there is little we can do regarding our use of IT‚ other than not leaving our PC’s switched on uneccessarily

TECHNOLOGY Why Cloud Computing Matters to Finance By Ron Gill‚ CMA‚ CFM When was the last time you upgraded your ERP system? If the answer is “not in recent memory‚” then you aren’t alone. About two-thirds of mid-sized businesses are running old versions of their enterprise resource planning (ERP) system—in some cases‚ it’s software that’s three or more versions old. This is the legacy of decades of on-premise (in-house) software deployments‚ incremental releases that never seemed worth the

Grid Designing Abstract: In an increasing number of scientific disciplines‚ large data collections are emerging as important community resources. Grid computing has emerged as an important new field‚ distinguished from conventional distributed computing by its focus on large-scale resource sharing‚ innovative applications‚ and‚ in some cases‚ high performance orientation. The foundation of a grid solution design is typically built upon an existing infrastructure investment. However‚ a grid

Abstract– Cloud Computing has become another buzzword after Web 2.0. However‚ there are dozens of different definitions for Cloud Computing and there seems to be no consensus on what a Cloud is. On the other hand‚ Cloud Computing is not a completely new concept; it has intricate connection to the relatively new but thirteen-year established Grid Computing paradigm‚ and other relevant technologies such as utility computing‚ cluster computing‚ and distributed systems in general.
