A detailed process for recovering information or an IT system in the event of a catastrophic disaster such as a fire or flood  Disaster recovery cost curve - Charts (1) the cost to the organization of the unavailability of information and technology and (2) the cost to the organization of recovering from a disaster over time 10 Backup and Recovery Plan 26 MIS AND THE ENVIRONMENT  Moore’s Law - Refers to the computer chip performance per dollar doubles every 18 months  Sustainable, or “green,” MIS - Describes the production, management, use, and disposal of technology in a way that minimizes damage to the environment  Corporate social responsibility Companies’ acknowledged responsibility to society 27 MIS AND THE ENVIRONMENT Three Primary Side Effects Of Businesses’ Expanded Use Of Technology 28 Increased Electronic Waste  Ewaste - Refers to discarded, obsolete or broken electronic devices  Sustainable MIS disposal - Refers to the safe disposal of MIS assets at the end of their life cycle 29 Increased Energy Consumption  Energy consumption – The amount of energy consumed by business processes and systems  Huge increases in technology use have greatly amplified energy consumption  The energy consumed by a computer is estimated to produce as much as 10 percent of the amount of carbon dioxide produced by an automobile 30 Increased Carbon Emissions  Carbon emissions – Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide produced by business processes and systems  When left on continuously, a single desktop computer and monitor can consume at least 100 watts of power per hour 31 SUPPORTING THE ENVIRONMENT: SUSTAINABLE MIS INFRASTRUCTURE  The components of a sustainable MIS infrastructure include 32 Grid Computing  Grid computing - A collection of computers, often geographically dispersed, that are coordinated to solve a common problem 33 Virtualized Computing  Virtualization - Creates multiple “virtual” machines on a single computing device 34 Virtualized Computing  Data center – A facility used to house management information systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems  Sustainable data centers • Reduces carbon emissions • Reduces required floor Space • Chooses Geographic location 35 Cloud Computing  Cloud computing - A model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction 36 Cloud Computing  Multi-tenancy – The cloud means that a single instance of a system serves multiple customers  Single-tenancy – Each customer or tenant must purchase and maintain an individual system  Cloud fabric – The software that makes possible the benefits of cloud computing, such as multitenancy 37 Cloud Computing 38 Cloud Computing 39 Cloud Computing 40 LEARNING OUTCOME REVIEW  Now that you have finished the chapter please review the learning outcomes in your text ... organized, timely, and effective manner 14 Business Continuity Plan 15 Business Continuity Plan  Business impact analysis – Identifies all critical business functions and the effect that a specific...2 CHAPTER OVERVIEW  SECTION 5. 1 – MIS INFRASTRUCTURE • The Business Benefits of a Solid MIS Infrastructure • Supporting Operations: Information MIS Infrastructure...
