ISA 235 TEST 2 MIAMI UNIVERSITY
GOWINS 2026 COMPLETE
QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
ANSWERS
◉ Recovery. Answer: The ability to get a system up and running in the
event of a system crash or failure that includes restoring the information
backup
◉ Disaster Recovery Plan. Answer: A detailed process for recovering
information or a system in the event of a catastrophic disaster
◉ Business Continuity Planning. Answer: Details how a company
recovers and restores critical business operations and systems after a
disaster or extended disruption
◉ Virtualization (All Types). Answer: Creates multiple virtual machines
on a single computing device
- By increasing the availability of applications that can give a higher
level of performance, depending on the hardware used
- By increasing energy efficiency by requiring less hardware to run
multiple systems or applications
- By increasing hardware usability by running multiple operating
systems on a single computer
, ◉ IT's Role in Environmental Sustainability. Answer: Leveraging
technology to monitor, analyze, and mitigate environmental impacts
while reducing the ecological footprint of digital infrastructure itself
◉ Portability. Answer: The ability of an application to operate on
different devices or software platforms, such as different operating
systems
◉ Software as a Service (SaaS). Answer: Delivers applications over the
cloud using a pay-per-use revenue model. Before its introduction,
companies often spent huge amounts of money implementing and
customizing specialized applications to satisfy their business
requirements. Many of these applications were difficult to implement,
expensive to maintain, and challenging to use. Usability was one of the
biggest drivers for creating interest in and success for cloud computing
service providers.
◉ Platform as a Service (PaaS). Answer: Supports the deployment of
entire systems, including hardware, networking, and applications, using
a pay-per-use revenue model. PaaS is a perfect solution for a business
because it passes on to the service provider the headache and challenges
of buying, managing, and maintaining web development software. With
PaaS, the development, deployment, management, and maintenance are
based entirely in the cloud and performed by the PaaS provider,
allowing the company to focus resources on its core initiatives. PaaS
offers a platform for developers to build, test, and deploy applications
without worrying about the underlying MIS infrastructure. It typically
includes pre-configured components and tools to streamline the
development process.
