... By: _______________ CIS 505 Professor: _________________ _____________ University May 23, 2013 Assess how the Carlson SAN approach would be implemented in today’s environment. Like many IT staff faced with exponential storage growth, Norman Owens realized a few years back that his company was headed for a challenge if it did not start consolidating its storage resources onto a storage area network (SAN). Owens, a storage network engineer and consultant with Carlson Companies, spoke to an audience of his peers at Storage Decisions 2003 recently about his company's consolidation efforts. (While not necessarily a household name, Carlson Companies is an international presence behind such well-known retail and hotel chains as TGI Friday's and Radisson hotels and resorts. Before consolidating onto a SAN, Owens' shared services group supported a configuration with one mainframe and 26 servers, where most of the servers were hard at work supporting the company's Oracle Financials database under HP/UX. This arrangement handled 14TB of data, over 54 SCSI and 8 ESCON connections. "It looked like a point-to-point SCSI solution," Owens said, noting, "There were a whole lot of cables." When they needed more storage, "We'd just go buy another frame. After the company asked his group to take on more responsibilities for its global IT storage operations, Owens and his coworkers decided now was the time to look at a more consolidated approach. Enter the company's current storage over...

What were the problems faced by Income in this case? How were the problems resolved by the new digital system? Problems: (1) The old HP 3000 mainframe frequently broke down, and backup or reconciliation would be needed. However, If daily backup was not completed, the affected day’s data would be lost and cost months to do reconciliation. (2) The 1980s COBOL programs broke multiple times, halted the systems and caused temporary interruptions, and it took IT team long time(from several weeks to months) to launch new products. (3) Transaction processing for policy underwriting was a batch process and information was not available to agents and advisors in real-time. (4) Various departments did not have up-to-date information and had to pass physical documents among each other. How were the problems resolved: Income switched to the Java base eBao LifeSystem from eBao Technology. The new system seldom broke down, and it enabled the IT team to launch a new product only in a few days by using the table-driven rule-based product-definition module; plus, the real-time hot backup disaster-recovery 1/9 宋蕊廷 201311034009 ASSIGNMENT 1: MANGAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM center helped the company get real-time...

Marked by the STRATOPAUSE. Atmosphere is thinner here. | Mesosphere | Temperature decreases to -90. No water vapour or dust to absorb radiation. Very strong winds at 3000 km/hr. MESOPAUSE | Thermosphere | Increase in temperature from the absorption of UV radiation | Greatest amount of energy coming into the atmosphere is from insolation (short wave solar radiation). The amount of this energy from the sun is determined by: *Solar constant- varies slightly & affects longer term climate rather than short term *Distance from the sun- Earth’s orbit around sun can cause variation in distant *Altitude of the sun in the sky- equator receives more energy as rays are head on. At 60 degrees N or S its at an angle so there’s twice the area to heat up & more atmosphere to pass through *Length of the day & night Some radiation is absorbed by ozone, water vapour, co2, ice particles, and dust reduce the amount reaching Earth. & clouds also reflect radiation back! ALBEDO is the ratio between the amount of incoming and reflected radiation. (Usually at 4%) Short wave radiation is converted to heat and heats the surface of earth, while longer radiation (infrared) is radiated back into atmosphere. Longer wave tends to get trapped while short actually penetrates atmosphere easier. THE...

...Air Charter Business Proposal i Air Charter Business Proposal from an Information Technology Perspective. Steven R. Marcum, Steven Cross and Jeffery Prendergrast Introduction to Management Information Systems MGMT 221 Professor Ira Strauss January 15, 2011 Air Charter Business Proposal ii Abstract The objective of this project is to develop a business proposal for an air charter company that caters to the tourism trade from an information technology standpoint operating in the Hawaiian Islands. The technologies that will be discussed will range from hardware and software requirements for weather, flight planning, crew scheduling and maintenance operations. To begin we will examine the flight planning system known as Jeppesen Flite Star IFR which is considered one of the world's leading desktop flight planning technologies. It includes advanced features and innovations such as Vector Plus mapping technology and vector chart themes, which offer low and high altitude en-route chart emulations as well as user-customizable charts which includes all of the complexities involved in the planning of a typical commercial airline flight from the aspect of the flight operations dispatcher. Next as we continue we will turn the discussion to crew scheduling which will lead us to Flight Pak which provides management with aircrew scheduling in both local and ZULU times. The discussion will point to how the system will provide more accuracy in the scheduling...
