25
Whats elastic and pooled
Elastic= auto adjusts for unpredictable demand- limits financial risks. Pooled= same physical hardware, economies of scale.
26
Positives of cloud
Small capital requirements, speedy development, known cost structure, not becoming outdated, security/disaster preparedness.
27
Negatives of the cloud
dependency on vendor, loss of control over data location, little visibility into true security preparedness capabilities.
28
IAAS (infrastructure as a service)
Ex: buying a car; you manage applications, data, runtime, middleware, OS; vendors manage virtualization, servers, storage, network
29
PAAS (platform as a service)
Ex: renting a car; you manage applications, data- vendors manage rest
30
SAAS (software as a service)
Ex: taxing a taxi; vendors manage all
31
Most basic cloud offering
IAAS because users manage a lot of lots of flexibility.
32
Content delivery network
Stores user data in many diff geographical locations and makes data available on demand.
33
Benefits of CDN
Decreased load time, reduced loan on origin server, increased reliability, protection from DoS attacks, reduced delivery costs, pay as you go
34
Basic network types- PAN (personal area network)
Devices connected around a single person. Ex: connecting smartphone to bluetooth
35
Basic network types- LAN (Local area network)
Computers connected at single physical site. Ex: wifi
36
Basic network types- WAN (Wide area network)
Computers connected between 2 or more separate sites. Ex: corporation with offices in multiple cities connected thro WAN (Vpns for ex)
37
Basic network types- The internet of internets
Network of networks ex: incorporating networks of all sizes (includes PAN, LAN and WANs)
38
How internet works
Packet (like a package), domain name (like a persons name), IP address (like a mailing address), TCP (registered mail), carriers (airlines)
39
Domain name
Unique name affiliated with public IP address (ex www.bigbank.com)
40
Packet
formatted message passing thro networks
41
TCP (transmission control protocol)
Core internet protocol guaranteeing reliable delivery of packets.
42
IP address
Number identifying particular device on network (ex 192)
43
Firewall
network security system (hardware& software) protecting the network
44
Web server
stores, processes and delivers web pages to clients
45
Router
Device forwarding packets between computer networks of the internet
46
Switch
Device forwarding packets between computer networks of the internet but inside network of certain company.
47
Public cloud
All (hardware, software) owned and operated by cloud service provider. Operated on multiple users ex Amazon Web services.
48
Private cloud
One organization has exclusive use of cloud, referred to as on premise private data center. One user- never shared.
49
5 forces of industry structure
Bargaining power of customers, threat of substitutes, bargaining power of suppliers, threat of new entrants, rivalry
50
Porters 4 competitive strategies= Industry wide
Across industry
51
Porters 4 competitive strategies= Cost
Low cost
52
Porters 4 competitive strategies= Differentiation
Unique services
53
Porters 4 competitive strategies= Focus
Within industry segment
54
Value chain
Competitive strats need system with benefits outweighing risks. Network of value creating activities divided into into primary activities and support activities.
55
Value
Amount of money a customer is willing to spend on product.
56
Margin
Value activity generates-cost of activity.
57
Principles of competitive advantage
Product implementations- create new product, enhance, differentiate product. Process implementations- lock in customers, lock in suppliers, raise barriers to market entry, establish alliances, reduce costs.
58
Primary vs support activities in value chain
Primary directly create value (ex: producing drones) secondary enable primary activities (ex: investigate new technology)
59
Virtual machine
Ex: top blue part of microsoft edge
