This document summarizes an article from the DITY newsletter about implementing basic configuration management without extensive resources. It discusses that configuration management's core purpose is controlling changes through documentation. Rather than seeing it as requiring a comprehensive system, organizations can start by linking together existing data sources. Most organizations already have relevant information scattered across spreadsheets, manuals, and other records. The key is uncovering these disparate sources and managing the information as a "configuration management databank" through linking various repositories, rather than viewing it as a single database. This allows basic configuration management benefits to be realized with minimal additional cost.

Cloud Computing: Applications and Benefits for Small Businesses
Abstract
Cloud computing is one of the most talked about topics in the world of technology and entrepreneurship. Until now it has never been so easy for people, especially small business owner’s, to have the tools and resources readily available just one click away and at the fraction of the cost of the typical investment a few years back. Cloud computing offers cost-effective solutions at various levels that can be customize to meet the needs of anyone. Cloud computing can be thought of as a new found technology and this paper defines the concept of the cloud and provides a brief background of where most business are in regards to the use of this technology. This is then continued by describing the types of cloud currently available and potential use. The paper then presents a short but important section of cloud security issues and challenges. Finally, the paper discusses the benefits each of the different levels of cloud computing can provide small business.
Introduction
The use of cloud computing has grown exponentially in the last decade, according to Weins (2015) eight-four percent of enterprises that make use of such services in one way or another. Could computing by definition is internet-based computing, where by shared resources, software and information are provided to the end user as metered services much like a utility does(Bradley, 2014). For businesses in many cases could computing is use for IT solution purposes as it can provide IT-related capabilities as a service using internet technologies.
With the fast pace of today’s market businesses need to provide fast and reliable services to their customers in order to remain competitive. The concept of could computing is not something new as it uses existing technology and processes; however it can be consider new in sense that using these technologies has revolutionized the manner in which we host and cater services to customers. Startup companies and small businesses can take advantage of could computing to reduce spending on IT, be more adept to changes in the market, change scale and lower risk and cost.
Given the structural complexity of larger organization, Alijani (2014) states that it is essential for cloud computing to deliver rear value rather than serve as a platform for simple task. The need to deliver rear value is just as important for small businesses. For small businesses value is important but it’s their customer relationship and public image, flexibility and continuity. As such small business owners need to consider the benefits, drawback s and the effect of cloud computing on their organization before taking the decision to implement.
Types of cloud computing
There are three categories or levels cloud computing, this are: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).

The document discusses cloud computing technology and its potential to provide an innovative business model for companies by reducing costs and increasing scalability. However, the adoption rate of cloud computing has been slower than expected due to issues of vendor lock-in, where a lack of standardization among cloud providers leads to proprietary interfaces and services. This heterogeneity of cloud offerings can result in vendor lock-in scenarios that make it difficult for customers to switch providers. The document argues that open standards and interoperability between cloud platforms are needed to address vendor lock-in and accelerate the adoption of cloud computing.
Cloud Computing Deployments Should Begin With Service Definition - SOA architecture and How Cloud enhances ease of doing business in a scalable and reliable way.

3. Q1. Three ways to approach systems security risk:
IT risk administration as of now plays more imperative part in very nearly all parts of
contemporary associations' usefulness. (Rot, 2008) It requires dependable and cyclical
acknowledgment of its key assignment which is risk investigation. The three ways to
approach systems security risk can be:
1. Risk Evaluation:
Identifying the probability of it occurring. (Rot, 2008)
Examining the consequences if it should occur. (Rot, 2008)
Assessing the Risk. (Rot, 2008)
2. Quantitative Approach:
where estimation of risk worth is joined with application of numerical
measures – estimation of assets is characterized in sums, the recurrence of
danger event in the quantity of cases, and vulnerability by the estimation of
likelihood of its misfortune, those strategies present results fit as a fiddle of
marker (Rot, 2008)
3. Qualitative Approach:
Which don't work on numerical information, displaying results as depictions,
proposals. (Rot, 2008)
Q2. Four international business strategies in the digital world by Valacich:
The four international business strategies in the digital world by Valacich are:
Outsourcing: If an association in a far off area can perform a bit of a business'
administrations better and less expensive, employ that association. As such, its no
longer judicious or important for the greater part of a business' administrations to
be performed in one area, or under one top. (Valacich and Schneider, 2010)
Supply Chains: Find the gear and supplies expected to achieve business objectives
effectively and monetarily by utilizing worldwide, not simply nearby, sources.
(Valacich and Schneider, 2010)
Consulting: so as to contend in a level world, it may bode well for organizations
to counsel data benefits that can exhort them on the most proficient method to end
up worldwide. For illustration, Infosys Technologies counsels with customers
inside eighteen commercial ventures, running from the aeronautic trade, to health
awareness, training, and utilities commercial ventures. (Valacich and Schneider,
2010)
Employment: To contract the best and the brightest, look for workers from
nations around the world, or utilization the livelihood acquirement
administrations of a worldwide occupation administrations. (Valacich and
Schneider, 2010)
Q3: Knowledge Worker in terms oftoday’s business environment:
4. When we attempt to characterize administration, our first thought is typically of a chief who
involves a part and who has power over individuals. (McCrimmon, 2010) Be that as it may on
account of knowledge workers, who oversee themselves, administration is seen as a process, one
which can captivate everybody. (McCrimmon, 2010) Consequently, when we characterize
administration as a part, we limit it to something that alludes to supervisors just. Such a definition
is not just a restricting one, it is one that does not represent the route in which work and
obligation has changed. (McCrimmon, 2010)
Mechanical age associations were formal progressive systems that alloted particular parts to
workers. The spotlight on parts put all force in the hands of administrators, who administered
workers by arranging, sorting out and controlling their work. This is basically what made
administration a top-down, limiting capacity. (McCrimmon, 2010)
Q4. Reviewing:
www.informationweek.com
www.itwire.com
www.delimiter.com.au
www.computerworld.com.au
According to the website http://www.informationweek.com/ Cyber security seems to be the topic
of most discussions, whether it be on computers, mobiles, tablets or even cloud computing.
(http://www.informationweek.com/)
On http://www.itwire.com/ I was personally most intrigued by the launch of Windows 10
operating system, they will have a live preview of it.(http://www.itwire.com/)
The most important announcement on http://delimiter.com.au/ would have to be its closure. After
a successful stint online, the website seems to have run its course and has decided to shut shop.
(http://delimiter.com.au/)
Virtual Reality, especially the use of glasses seemed to be the burning topic in the case of
http://www.computerworld.com.au/ after Google had announced its virtual reality glasses, it
seems Microsoft is going to beat Google at this game, as it has announced its soon to be launched
HoloLens.( http://www.computerworld.com.au/)
Q. 5 Primary andsecondary storage:
Primary memory storages are impermanent; whereas the secondary storage is
lasting. (Sagar, 2009)
Primary memory is costly and littler, where as secondary memory is less
expensive and bigger (Sagar, 2009)
Primary memory storages are speedier, where as secondary storages are slower.
(Sagar, 2009)
5. Primary memory storages are associated through information transports to CPU,
where as the secondary storages are join through information links to CPU (Sagar,
2009)
Q.6 Four services available from a network:
There are various diverse system administrations, for example,
directory services is an arrangement of programming that sorts out, stores and gives
availability to data inside the machine registry working frameworks
instant messaging is a class of online talk known for offering content transmission of
ongoing through the web
video on demand are the frameworks permitting the clients for selecting and viewing
substance of feature or listening substance of sound focused around distinctive
decisions
Simple network management protocol is a convention of web standard for the
administration of gadget on the systems of IT.
Q.7 List and explain three benefits of using extranets:
An extranet can increase the value of your organization by helping you impart and work together
all the more successfully with customers, clients, and accomplices. (AllBusiness, n.d) Especially
in the business-to-business showcase, an extranet can give your organization an edge over the
opposition and spare you cash by streamlining conventional business capacities and cutting
overhead expenses. (AllBusiness, n.d)
Extranets offer little organizations numerous different points of interest:
Expanded profit. As you robotize forms that were generally done physically, bottlenecks will
vanish and your organization's gainfulness will increment. Basic data won't lose all sense of
direction via the post office or covered in an email inbox, and occupied workers won't miss or
overlook key occasions. An extranet can, for instance, screen business exercises and trigger
particular activities, for example, consequently submitting a request with a supplier when your
stock drops beneath a certain level. (AllBusiness, n.d)
Lessened room for give and take. An extranet can decrease your safety buffer, particularly when
you utilize it to give particular gatherings access to inner applications. This could include
something as basic as giving clients access to their request histories, or something as mind
boggling as transforming requests from merchants and suppliers. (AllBusiness, n.d)
Adaptability. When you utilize an extranet to make data and applications accessible to
accomplices, customers, and clients, everybody can work when and where its generally
advantageous. This serve toward oneself methodology liberates you from unnecessary gatherings
and telephone tag, and it eliminates the expenses connected with in-individual data trades. Case
in point, an extranet may permit you to give client administration data outside of general business
hours. (AllBusiness, n.d)
6. Q.8 List and describe the five typical revenue models for e-commerce
●value recommendation - how an organization's item or administration satisfies the needs of
clients. Ordinary e-trade quality recommendations incorporate personalization, customization,
accommodation, and decrease of item pursuit and value conveyance costs.
●revenue model - how the organization arrangements to profit from its operations. Real e-
business income models incorporate the publicizing model, membership model, exchange
expense model, deals model, and subsidiary model.
●market opportunity - the income potential inside an organization's expected marketspace.
●competitive environment-the immediate and aberrant contenders working together in the same
marketspace, including what number of there are and how beneficial they are.
●competitive point of interest - the elements that separate the business from its rival, empowering
it to give a predominant item.
Q.9 What are the advantages ofstoring informationin a relational
database using a database management system (DBMS)?
Emulating are a percentage of the favourable circumstances of utilizing a database over a
customary record transforming framework:
Potential for implementing measures. (nrttechnology, n.d)
Adaptability. (nrttechnology, n.d)
Lessened application improvement time. (nrttechnology, n.d)
Accessibility of progressive data to all clients. (nrttechnology, n.d)
Economies of scale. (nrttechnology, n.d)
Q.10 Contrast ‘technological safeguards’ and ‘human safeguards’ in information
systems security
Technological safeguards are the steps implemented by associations to secure equipment and
programming parts of data frameworks. There are three noteworthy levels where this
protection is connected and this is distinguishing proof and verification, malware security and
encryption and firewalls. Recognizable proof and confirmation includes systems, for
example, utilization of biometric information, single sign-on and utilization of smartcards.
These are technological developments which are connected to secure data security in
7. associations. An illustration is the utilization of biometric information where human body
parts, for example, fingerprints and retina are utilized to validate clients.
Human safeguards are steps implemented by associations to protect the data framework
security, and they include control of individuals who access the data framework. Human
safeguards include different levels of managing the human asset and they incorporate
procuring and screening, position definition, scattering and implementation and end. Position
definition permits clients to have employment titles with comparing security rights while
spread and implementation guarantees that all staff are mindful of strategies took after when
getting to the framework. End includes change in representatives obligations while
contracting and screening distinguishes workers who represent a danger to the association.
Screening of workers through record verifications against law requirement organizations
when procuring is an illustration of human protect in data security.
