The document discusses external and internal resources for organizations. Externally, organizations can obtain resources by buying, contracting, or leasing hardware, software, equipment, and services. Buying provides ownership but has high upfront costs, while contracting and leasing spread costs over time for rented resources. Internally, organizations must manage people, hardware, software, communication, consumables, and facilities/power, considering issues like staffing needs, equipment maintenance, and resource planning.

It has always been a challenge to explain and convince top management including the Chief Financial Officers to embark into Cloud Computing. Predominantly because many still unclear or not so very sure what is cloud computing. Is it managed hosting, co-location or managed services? While technology providers and vendors continue to confuse management technology jargon, the need to embark into cloud computing seems inevitable...just like any others before such as the need to have emails, websites, online transactions, web based applications etc.
This presentation provides layman's, easy to understand meaning of cloud computing, why is it important for management,especially the CFO to seriously consider embarking into and some statistics and trend of how the world will move toward cloud.
A presentation on cloud computing and its impact in the boardroom. Presented to the Australian Institute of Company Directors , this presentation covers:

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

are owned
/ STAFF
A network NEVER owned but:
manager to - initial investment is low
cover maternity - usually includes support, upgrades etc.
- Paid more
- No benefits
Data Warehouse
BUYING
to backup data
Buying Equipment or Hardware can be done
through contracting
SOFTWARE Once bought you own:
-High level of initial investment
HARDWARE
EQUIPMENT - Items bought are assets of
the company
- support & maintenance are
extra costs
16. What is Buying?
◦ When payments are received for ownership of a product or
service
What is contracting?
◦ Making an agreement with a supplier to provide a specific
service for a specific period of time at an agreed cost
◦ An agreement between supplier and customer for
purchasing of equipment with costs spread over time. Once
full payment is reached, goods are owned by the customer.
What is leasing?
◦ Making an agreement with a supplier for the rent of
something for a specific period of time at an agreed cost.
However, whatever is leased is never owned
17. Benefits
◦ Initial investment over time will work out less than
contracting or leasing (e.g. no interest)

maintenance
◦ If money has to be borrowed to finance initial costs,
interest charges need to be considered

(paid more but not entitled to benefits)
◦ Companies can contract space and equipment for the
same reason (short term project)
◦ Can be an important part of a company’s disaster
management strategy e.g. contracting hot sites
◦ Spreading costs over time so no high initial investment
Limitations
◦ Potential of being over reliant on the contracting of work
space
◦ If services are outsourced there is a lack of control
◦ Interest rates to consider
19. Benefits
◦ Initial investment not as high as buying
◦ Usually additional support services included as well as
regular upgrades
◦ Makes financial planning easier (no single substantial
investments needed to keep abreast of new releases)
◦ Many companies lease dedicated communication lines to
establish their own WAN
More secure connection than a shared line
Better data transfer speeds
Limitations
◦ Company does not own what is leased e.g.
hardware/software (unable to modify)
◦ Overall cost higher but spread out
20. People
Hardware
Software
Communication
Consumables
Facilities & Power

hardware, location and technical specification
◦ Log faults, repairs and updates
◦ Helps with budgeting
Network operating system can monitor hardware
Backup power supplies
23. Asset Management software
◦ Records software installed on each machine
License Management software
◦ Monitors software installed, versions and suitable licenses etc.
◦ Important tool for compliance with Copyright and Patents Act
Network installations / Client workstation installations
Cloning software to push out software installations from
the server
Anti Virus Applications
24. Network management software
◦ Creates reports on network traffic
Filtering software
◦ Restrict access to certain websites
Conserve bandwidth
Block sites that are inappropriate
Setting up a proxy server
◦ Protects internal communication system
Sits between users and internet
Only IP address visible to web server is that of the proxy
(less use to hackers than individual machine IPs)
Proxy caches common web pages also making them quicker
to load
25. Network management software can control which users
have access to which peripherals e.g. printers, scanners
etc.
Print accounting software can control amount of printing
done
Ordering and distribution of consumables must also be
managed (audit log)
A support desk might be used to request supplies
A good relationship with suppliers helps ease purchasing
and control stock
26. Facilities
◦ Owned or leased
◦ Health and safety legislation will impact:
Design of room (AC, Cabling, spacing etc.)
Furniture (adjustable swivel chairs etc.)
Equipment (adjustable monitors etc.)
Power

computing’
◦ Training and Acceptable use policy should ensure that staff are aware of
what they can do to reduce energy consumption (e.g. switch off machines)
◦ System settings can be configured to enable power saving options (sleep)
