iShare platform

Business overview

iShare platform will be a platform where individuals will share stuff which has been used moderately. This is called and enhanced by the need to have a friendly environment which will enable people to share stuff instead of throwing the stuff to the environment. The aim of the iShare platform is to have a way in which members will share what they have instead of disposing them to the environment (Kwak, Lee, Park, & Moon, 2010). This way, there will be conservation of the environment because no item will be disposed to the environment. There will be stuff Continue reading...

INTRODUCTION

One of the most fascinating aspects of cloud computing is the autonomy it offers. Though it has been with us, not for long, it is undisputable it has proven to be a vital commercial and SME success catalyst and hopefully will continue for the next decades. Clouds are of interest not only with expanding tendency to outsource IT to cut on management overheads but also to widen existing limited IT infrastructures. Even more notably, they reduce the entrance barrier for new players to deliver their respective goods and services to a wider market with minimal entry and exit costs Continue reading...

Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a recent concept and a new development that enables on-demand and convenient network access to several configurable computing resources such as; servers, applications, networks, services, applications and storage. It provides data access, computation, software, and storage services that do not necessitate knowledge of the configuration and physical system of the system by the user. Cloud computing can also be defined as the set of networks, hardware, services, interfaces, and storage that are combined to convey services that involve computing. Notably, there are four fundamental characteristics in cloud computing; automatic deprovisioning and self-service provisioning, elasticity and the Continue reading...

Introduction

There is a lot of talk and debate about cloud computing technology from the time of Web 2.0. it is one of the technologies that has been lauded to be cost-saver. Although this is the case, there is still some laxity with the implementation of cloud computing by most companies. This is because there are still security issues and vulnerabilities that are associated with cloud computing. Cloud computing is vulnerable to attacks just like any other technology. Most companies prefer to secure their resources and assets than let them reside in the cloud (Latif, Abbas, Assar, & Ali, 2014).

Cloud vulnerabilities and threats

Executive summary

The use of information systems will bring enhanced management of business processes in companies. The company has not invested much in information systems in their business processes. Most of the processes are done manually. The company deals with distribution and, therefore, has to manage the entire process of supply. With the intent to expand to newer markets, there is a need to have systems which will scale with this growth. This proposal suggests the implementation of three enterprise systems. These are SAP ERP, SAP CRM, and SAP SCM. ERP will be used for managing the daily business transactions of Continue reading...

Abstract

An ontology refers to a formal, common, shared description of significance concepts within a specific domain. Ontologies can be used to support various tasks in diverse areas of research such as information retrieval, knowledge management, databases, natural language processing, “geographic information systems”, digital libraries, “multi agent systems” or “visual information retrieval systems”. An ontology makes it possible to have shared knowledge as well as reuse where there can be communicating of information resources between software and human agents. However, ontologies have conceptually been in development since the 1970’s and in the late 1990s’-early 2000’s, we began Continue reading...

Abstract

The Cloud and Grid computation systems are different computation services or platforms that can help in different tasks. Cloud computing started in late 1990s. It is the form of TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) based on advanced development and integration of computer technologies such as huge memory, fast microprocessor, reliable system architecture, and high-speed network. Cloud computing are helpful in solving Internet-level computation problems, which are somewhat different from those of Grid computing. On the other hand, Grids started working in the mid 1990s to compute the large-scale problems with the help of network based resource-sharing commodity machines. Such Continue reading...

Cloud Computing and Organization Issues

Cloud computing is a new data storage technology that has created quite a stir in recent times in the distributed computing community. It is the concept of connecting large groups of remote servers through network which enables a centralized data base and accessibility of different computer resources. Small and large organizations have taken a fancy to this new development as it saves a lot of time of installation and maintenance of their computer architecture but there are various issues associated with cloud computing that aren’t fully known by people or are largely ignored.

1.0 Introduction
Information security is very crucial especially for organizations whose information can be accessed through computer network. As network administrators try to set up security systems for data and information for such organizations, hackers and other cyber criminals also tries on how they can get the right of entry into the same systems illegally. Port scanning is used by both administrators as well as the hackers though for different intentions. Port scanning is thus one of the popular approaches used by administrators to examine or investigate information system security, penetration testing. It legally tries to break into the Continue reading...

Abstract
Relational Database Systems (RDBMS) are the most popular database systems today. The relational model of database management emerged from a dynamic database model called DataBase Management System (DBMS). Dbase and FoxPro were the popular DBMS in the 1970’s and 1980’s. RDBMS emerged in the 1990’s. Though RDBMS is a popular form of database management, few appreciate its true potential. Modern applications that allow multiple devices to access and manipulate data are overshadowing RDBMS. NoSQL models such as Hadoop and MapReduce allow document processing which is a feature that the relational model lacks. An in-depth understanding Continue reading...

Introduction
Computer programming was first introduced in the 19th century, when Ada Lovelace programmed the analytical machine. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2008), one in every 106 workers in the United States is a computer programmer or software engineer. (Seibel, 2009). Today programming has evolved to the level of art and science. From the sequential processing of COBOL we have come to Relational Databases and Cloud Computing. Programming today is almost completely written for the World Wide Web.
