...Introduction Introduction Powering an Email System Provisioning Email Servers Redundancy and Reliability Computer Housing and Cooling Cloud Advantages Carbon Costs Conclusions It’s common to hear about new data centers being built, and it may seem as if the energy used by “the cloud” is a growing problem. However, services provided by the cloud can be remarkably efficient. In many cases, data centers hosting cloud services are more efficient than the in-house office servers they replace. These efficiency gains come from maximizing server utilization, using high-efficiency facilities and making power usage efficiency a priority for hardware and software developers. This case study compares the energy savings and carbon footprint of using Gmail via Google Apps—Google’s cloud-based messaging and collaboration suite, versus housing local servers to manage the same email. Google’s cloud services are all carbon neutral—dating back to 2007. However, for the purposes of this case study, we will be modeling Google’s per-user carbon footprint before offsets are applied. Powering an Email System When a user checks their email, energy is consumed in three places: 1. The client: The PC, laptop, phone or other device directly accessing email is called the client. It’s using electricity as it fetches and displays email. 2. The network: Wireless routers, network switches and all the intervening networking equipment between the client and the email server use electricity. In a small office...

...How Data Mining can help a business Data mining can help business strike gold when preparing products for a consumer. However, what is data mining? The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) defines data mining as “the process of finding correlations or patterns among dozens of fields in large relational databases” (N.D.). Oracle helps refine this definition, as this method “provides a way to get at the information buried in the data” (Oracle, N.D.). Oracle goes on to state how data mining helps find “patterns that sometimes elude traditional statistical approaches to analysis because of the large number of attributes, the complexity of patterns, or the difficulty in performing the analysis” (N.D.). There is petabytes of data for many companies and agencies to sort though. Many turn to cloud systems, or run programs that extract the data for them from their sources. UCLA goes on to define data as including operational data, nonoperational data, and Meta data. They use this information to help find associations, relationships, and/or patterns with in the data. They use this to develop knowledge about historical data. Companies like Volvo started to leverage cloud computing. They felt that each car could provide information that improved each car as it was built and driven. They also felt that the information provided by each car could improve the consumer experience while driving one of their cars. To support this, Volvo developed a sensor suite that contained...

...Week 4 Assignment 1 Innovation from Googles free Food Strategy BUS 302 Management Concepts Strayer University Instructor: Written By ABSTRACT We will be looking at the Forbes Magazine’s “Best Company to Work for in 2014” number 1 ranked company Google. The very successful Technology Industry based company has been very successful and been named as the best employer to work for several times since it opened its doors in 1998. We will look at their Mission Statement and business strategy and how they use employee benefits to draw and keep the best employees. Mission and Business Model Googles Mission Statement is one that does not include a lot of the components that are used to evaluate a quality mission statement. It fails to accompany the customer, concern of survivability or public image amongst other things, but at the sometime this small open minded Mission Statement accomplices the company as a whole and their “Open Innovation” philosophy. (Jurevicuis, 2013) “Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” “Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” The Google business model is a ‘Business Model Canvas’.

...programs. It's called cloud computing, and it could change the entire computer industry. In a cloud computing system, there's a significant workload shift. Local computers no longer have to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to running applications. The network of computers that make up the cloud handles them instead. Hardware and software demands on the user's side decrease. The only thing the user's computer needs to be able to run is the cloud computing system's interface software, which can be as simple as a Web browser, and the cloud's network takes care of the rest. There's a good chance you've already used some form of cloud computing. If you have an e-mail account with a Web-based e-mail service like Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail or Gmail, then you've had some experience with cloud computing. Instead of running an e-mail program on your computer, you log in to a Web e-mail account remotely. The...

...Teamwork/Collaboration: Teamwork means to function effectively within nursing and inter-professional teams while fostering open communication, mutual respect, and shared decision making to achieve quality patient care Informatics/Technology: Encompassing information science and information technologies, informatics involves the design, development, use and management of computer-based information systems. In nursing, informatics is becoming increasingly important in every aspect from patient care to systematic operations to research. In general, competencies can be divided into three major areas (2010, National League for Nursing- TIGER Informatics Competency Team). 1. Direct Care (care management, clinical decision making, operations management and communication). 2. Support (clinical support, measurement, analysis, research/reports, administrative and financial) 3. Information Infrastructure (security, health record management, registry and directory services, terminology services, standards-based interoperability, business rules management and workflow management) Core Values: Those beliefs or ideals which form the foundation for the work of a governing organization and/or nursing program.
