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

Green computing can be thought of as an environmentally conscious effort to make long-term computing sustainable by using energy efficient methods. The goals of green computing are similar to those of green chemistry‚ which try to minimize hazardous material use‚ maximize efficiency and enhance recyclability. Yet all this extra effort put into designs has a negative impact on system throughput. Therefore the question is posed‚ is the extra overhead involved in designing superior data centers‚ optimizing

Type of Cloud Computing Cloud Computing can be divided by two main criteria. The first criterion is service models‚ and another criterion is deployment models. Service Models For service model criterion‚ cloud computing can be divided into three types which are software as a service (SaaS)‚ platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) Software as a Service (SaaS) The first service model‚ software as a service‚ likes an online application.

In the world of virtualization there are two kingpins; VMware and Microsoft. As I researched these two vendors it has become apparent that comparing these two giants would be like comparing apples and oranges; like apples and oranges are fruit‚ and VMware and Microsoft make virtualization software‚ they are different altogether. This happens to be the scenario that I have seen‚ not only between the two companies‚ but in blog posts and forums. VMware’s vSphere is a suite. In other words it’s like

Overview Combined water and sewer rates in Portland‚ Oregon are among the highest in the United States. A 2007 survey by Black & Veatch put Portland No. 1 on the list of 50 largest cities water and wastewater survey and No. 6 in 2010.1 A proposed five year rate increases which started in July‚ 2011 by the Portland Water Bureau is likely to push Portland’s water bills significantly above the average for the 50 largest U.S cities. Portland’s combined water and sewer bill would likely total $346 by

Cloud Computing in Banks Cloud Computing is the use of computer resources‚ both hardware and software‚ that are delivered as a service over a network. The name is derived from the symbol which is an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. It is the delivery of computing as a service rather than as a product‚ and it is done so in real time using grid of inter-connected computers. It entrusts remote services with a user’s data‚ software and computation. Users
