crash that includes restoring the information backup.
-Disaster recovery - -A detailed process for recovering information or a system in the
event of a catastrophic disaster
-Emergency preparedness - -Ensures a company is ready to respond to an emergency in
an organized, timely, and effective manner
-Virtualization - -Creates multiple "virtual" machines on a single computing device
-Moore's Law - -Refers to the computer chip performance per dollar doubles every 18
months
-Clean computing - -A subset of sustainable MIS, refers to the environmentally responsible
use, manufacture, and disposal of technology products and computer equipment
-Software as a Service (SaaS) - -Delivers applications over the cloud using a pay-per-use
revenue model
-Platform as a Service (PaaS) - -Supports the deployment of entire systems including
hardware, networking, and applications using a pay-per-use revenue model
-Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - -The delivery of computer hardware capability,
including the use of servers, networking, and storage, as a service
-Usability - -The degree to which a system is easy to learn and use
-Accessibility - -The degree of ease with which it is possible to reach a certain location
from other locations. Accessibility varies from place to place and can be measured.
-(High) Availability - -A system that can function for an extended period of time with little
downtime.
-Scalability - -How well a system can scale up, or adapt to the increased demands of
growth
-Maintainability (flexibility) - -How quickly a system can transform to support
environmental changes
-Vulnerability - -A flaw or weakness that allows a threat agent to bypass security.
, -Serviceability - -How quickly a third-party can change a system to ensure it meets user
needs and the terms of any contracts, including agreed levels of reliability, maintainability,
or availability
-Portability - -The ability of an application to operate on different devices or software
platforms
-Web accessibility (WAI) - -People with disabilities can use the web
-Business intelligence dashboard - -Tracks corporate metrics such as critical success
factors and key performance indicators and includes advanced capabilities such as
interactive controls, allowing users to manipulate data for analysis.
-Information redundancy - -The duplication of data or storing the same information in
multiple places
-NoSQL - -Database management systems that handle non-relational data like documents,
increasingly used for maintaining and querying the large amounts of data from the
Internet. Queries can be made using "Not only Structured Query Language."
-Database management system (DBMS or RDMS) - -Creates, reads, updates, and deletes
data in a database while controlling access and security
-Data scientist - -Extracts knowledge from data by performing statistical analysis, data
mining, and advanced analytics on big data to identify trends, market changes, and other
relevant information
-Big data - -The huge and complex data sets generated by today's sophisticated
information generation, collection, storage, and analysis technologies
-Primary key - -A field (or group of fields) that uniquely identifies a given entity in a table
-Structured query language (SQL) - -A language used to create and manipulate databases.
-Data model - -A diagram that represents entities in the database and their relationships
-Data dictionary - -Information about the structure of the database, including a description
of each data element
-Foreign key - -A primary key of one table that appears as an attribute in another table and
acts to provide a logical relationship between the two tables
-Metadata - -Data that describes other data
-Information (data) integrity - -A measure of the quality of information
