...failures and interruptions, fault tolerance, and redundancy. He then provides an overview of several important high-availability technologies. RAID RAID technology is the most common method to provide data resiliency. With RAID (Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks), data is redundantly stored on multiple disks such that, should one disk fail, the data can still be reconstructed. RAID arrays typically provide a hot-swappable capability so that a failed disk can be replaced without taking down the array. There are several configurations of RAID. Most stripe data across multiple disks to achieve improved performance. Mirrored disks, used by fault-tolerant systems and designated as RAID 1, provide an entire copy of the database on a backup disk. The most common form of RAID in use today is RAID 5, which provides one additional disk and which stripes data and parity across disks. Since there is one extra disk, the data can be reconstructed should any one disk fail. There are several other forms of RAID designated as RAID 0, 2, 3, and 4, and combinations of these. Rupani describes each...

...TERM PAPER ON Information System of Standard Bank Limited [pic] Submitted To: Dr. Md. Mosharraf Hossain Professor Department of Management University of Dhaka Submitted By: Sabbir Ahmed 3-11-21-065 Department of Management University of Dhaka Date of Submission 09.11.2014 Preface Theoretical knowledge, what we learn through our academic activities, is not sufficient to prepare ourselves for the life battle. Academic knowing is needed to be backed up by practical experience. In business studies, besides their usual theoretical course works, students are required to fulfill some practical assignments which are set by the course teachers to examine the depth of knowledge learned by the students. Most of the time, the students are required to study a practical working environment of any organization or industry to critically examine ‘what is actually going on’ in the real world. This document is prepared as a result of an assignment set by the honorable course teacher of the course “Fundamental of MIS”. .My duty was to describe “Information System of My Organization.” and report what I found. This is how this assignment paper titled “Information System of Standard Bank Limited.” was emerged. I believe this paper is a reflection of accumulation of my effort, learning and dedication.

...Delphi: The bellybutton of the ancient world Look beyond simply the famed oracular priestess breathing in hallucinogenic gases and you find a place whose past speaks directly to the 21st century. That is the argument of Cambridge University's Dr Michael Scott who is researching how and why Delphi, a small Greek town and religious sanctuary perched on a difficult to reach mountainside, was for 1,000 years the proclaimed the 'bellybutton', the very centre of the ancient world. Famed for its oracle at the Temple of Apollo, he is also examining the evidence of Delphi's many other gods, athletic and musical games and the monuments to unity - as well as civil war - that crowded its religious sanctuaries. Dr. Scott uses the latest architectural plans of the temple of Apollo which reveal for the first time archaeological traces of what may have been the oracular priestess's consultation room inside the temple. He also argues that the town, which drew kings and emperors as well as cities and commoners from all corners of the Mediterranean world and beyond, still speaks as powerfully to us today as it did in the past. He said: "Imagine a place with the wealth of the Swiss banks, the religious power of the Vatican, the advertising potential of the World Cup and the historical importance of all the world's museums combined; that was Delphi. We would all like to know what the future has in store for us. In that, perhaps the most important thing Delphi teaches us is to look inward, to...

...Diogenes of Sinope was known for being different from the rest of society. Diogenes was popularly known as a Kyon, which in Greek means “dog.” The word cynic derives from Kyon and was later associated with the philosophy of cynicism which is “The end of life is virtue, not pleasure, and it can only be obtained by independence of all earthly possessions and pleasures” (Philosophy.lander.edu) as well as living a “living a life full of virtue in agreement with nature”(Philosophybasics.com). Diogenes lives in a barrel, and he happily demonstrates that there is more to life than just power and riches. The fact that he lives in such a simple manner, shows that he doesn’t need materials to be happy. In Tendryakov’s Revelations next to a Philosopher’s Barrel, Diogenes of Sinope is an outcast in society. Although he was an outcast, he was very popular because of how differently he lived his life and behaved around others. “There was only one person in the city who did not even stir to cast a glance at Alexander, the Macedonian king. He himself was famous both in Corinth and without it—Diogenes of Sinope, the strange sage. (Translator's Private Collection).” Diogenes was not like the rest of the Greeks, he kept to himself and didn’t really care too much for people of power. In this quote, he was the only one to not care for Alexander the Great or anyone else for that matter. The idea of not having any ethical duties in society is hard to imagine. Diogenes was detached from everyday human...

...1. Before Maruti Suzuki adopted the Oracle suite their databases were because they were rapidly growing larger and the technology that hosted their data wasn’t keeping up with their growth. Their previous systems weren’t very flexible and were very inefficient. The systems required extensive training and offered low turn around times. 2. The advantages of the company moving to a single vendor is that all of their systems and databases will be compatible with each other which promotes flexibility and makes it easier for the company to expand. Possible risks of using a single vendor could include data loss if the system as a whole were to crash, also if the vendor goes out of business the system could go down. 3. The important business factors management used when evaluating Oracles offerings were, the need for the systems to be simple and easily scalable, the company needed the databases to run multiple processes on a single network, Oracles databases also had to be compatible with legacy systems. 4. Its important that a companies vendors can integrate with legacy systems because the company doesn’t want to pay more money to replace systems already in use, with the use of middleware the company can update old systems instead of crating new ones. 5. Some of the benefits management reported from using oracles suit of products included, data being available online almost immediately, as well as allowing multiple views of data and consolidating accounts which...

...Security Solution for a Bank Officer’s Laptop Introduction: UAE Bank provides laptops to their loans officers. The laptops contain information about all of the bank’s loans products (public information), and some other bank information (confidential information). The bank officer takes loan applications from clients (confidential information) and keeps these on the laptop. The loans officer travels to various locations to meet clients. Since computer security has become important, almost all of the focus has been on securing large, multi-user machines. Moreover, for that purpose was the importance of some security procedures if the laptop were stolen or lost . Body: Data loss prevention It's imperative that you scan the files and content leaving your organization to identify any that contain PII . Deploying a standalone DLP solution to protect against the accidental loss of sensitive data can be time consuming and costly, and adding another scanning agent can slow down your endpoints and the people who use them. A top-notch content control solution identifies sensitive data such as PII, financial information and any other records you have flagged as private. Once the scan is complete, you have several options whether to proceed or warn the user that they are about to send data or block the transfer Computer is constantly at risk from infection by malware including viruses, worms, Trojans, root kits, dialers and spyware.Anti-maleware is to fight all this .

...Project Security Plan This plan was developed by David Hanuschak, Managing Director of On-point Technologies, in cooperation with other key members of the On-point Technologies staff. About On-point Technologies We are a three man great solution for your networking needs. On-point technologies are top rated with the Better Business Bureau for customer satisfaction. Objectives This security plan is our first. We will take a broad view of the security risks facing the firm and take prompt action to reduce our exposure. Everyone remembers the virus attack we had earlier this year, and we hope to avoid another disaster like that! However, I hope that by taking a wider view, we may be able to plan for threats we don’t know about yet. I realize that we are limited in time, people, and (of course) cash. Our main priority is to continue to grow a successful business. We cannot hope for Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)-like security, and it wouldn’t be good for our culture to turn On-point into Fort Knox. The project team has weighed these constraints carefully in deciding what to do and has tried to strike a balance between practicality, cost, comfort, and security measures. We are all convinced, however, that doing nothing is not an option. I am taking responsibility for leading this review and ensuring that all the action items are carried out. I am concerned about the risks we face, although having reviewed the plan, I am sure we can address them properly. This...
