Intro to Digital Transformation Flashcards
A metaphor for the
network of data centers which
store and compute information
available through the internet.
The Cloud
the technology and processes needed to
store, manage, and access data that is transferred over the “cloud”,
rather than the data that remains on your computer’s hard drive.
Cloud computing
Abandoning old technology for a new one is commonly referred to as the
________ effect. It requires organizations to take a leap of faith
and to continually adapt as new technologies create new paradigm shifts
“burning platform” effect
________ refers to everyday objects
or devices that are connected
to the internet and are able to
send and receive data.
The “Internet of Things,” or
“IoT
The ability to
process information and
automate tasks most often
done by a computer program.
Computing
Refers to the
speed at which a computer is
able to process data.
Compute power
Processors that are 50 times more powerful than traditional chips
TPUs, for Tensorflow Processing
Units.
100 million times more powerful than traditional chips
Quantum computing
3 Core modernization focus areas
- Infrastructure
- Business platforms
- Applications
What is an API
Technical tools that enable integration between applications
What is an Application
The term ‘application’ is widely
used to refer to programs and
software that enable people to
perform various digital tasks.
What is DevOps?
DevOps, or Developer
Relations, is a set of practices
that aim to increase software
delivery velocity, improve
service reliability, and build
shared ownership among
software stakeholders.
The first step in moving away from an on-premises infrastructure is ____. A business sets up a large data center and then other organizations rent part of that data center
colocation
Cloud computing refers to?
Cloud computing refers to the technology and processes needed to
store, manage, and access data that is transferred over the “cloud”,
rather than the data that remains on your computer’s hard drive.
What is a burning platform?
Abandoning old technology for a new one is commonly referred to as the
“burning platform” effect. It requires organizations to take a leap of faith
and to continually adapt as new technologies create new paradigm shifts.
What do successful companies focus on?
Successful companies consistently focus on “why” they exist, not “how” they operate
What is IOT?
The “Internet of Things,” or “IoT,” refers to everyday objects or devices that are connected to the internet and are able to send and receive data.
What is computing and computing power?
Computing is the ability to process information and automate tasks most often done by a computer program. Compute power, refers to the
speed at which a computer is able to process data.
What is Tensorflow Processing?
The first disruption comes from processors that are specifically meant for
this type of application, and which we call TPUs, for Tensorflow Processing
Units. They are 50 times more powerful than traditional chips!
Where does the second disruption come from?
The second disruption comes from quantum computing,
which is a hundred million times more powerful.
What do apps use to learn about user preferences and intent?
Many apps use machine learning to learn about user preferences and intent.
