    • The cloud based services offered includes:
      • Web based computing platform:
        • The functionality delivered by web services is utilized by companies.
        • The complete applications need not to be developed based on needs.
      • Infrastructure as a service(IaaS):
        • The limitless storage capacity of cloud should be used by organization.
        • The storage space could be expanded and made shrink as required.
      • Software as a Service(SaaS):
        • It allows to access functionality of software not worrying storage.
      • Platform as a Service(PaaS):
        • The companies can run applications on platform of cloud service.
      • Utility services:
        • The companies that require sharing of huge data can store data remotely.
        • It can generate a virtual data centre.
      •  Managed services:
        • It is used by providers of cloud service, such as service of anti-spam.
      • Service Commerce:
        • It denotes creation of application hub used by members of organization.
        • It provides applications in addition to services for businesses.

Managed IT services:

  • It denotes IT services of organization that are outsourced to an external provider of managed IT services.
  • The 360 degree responsibility for entire IT operations of organization is taken by service provider.
  • It assumes accountability of providing services to clients.
  • The service provider takes strategic IT decisions and communicated to clients.
  • The service providers turn as technology advisors to clients in IT implementation field.

Students have asked these similar questions
Simulate on a vertical time axis (with events labeled with the senders names A-D) the contention period of FOUR equally distanced Ethernet stations that all attempt to transmit at T=0 a minimally sized frame, in the style of the binary Exponential Backoff Algorithm. Assume that time is measured in slot times, and that exactly one slot time is needed to detect a collision (so that if two stations transmit at T=1 and collide, and one of them chooses a backoff time k=0, then that station will transmit again at T=2). Use as coin flip (source of randomness) an ID written in binary. use the bits in order from the least significant to the most significant. If for a given coin throw you need k bits, use the least significant ID bit extracted in the corresponding group of bits, as the least significant bit of the coin thrown. Start be writing the ID, which is 904012207 As example of the expected answer format,  with the random sequence R:   100101010101001011001010 01 01011  10010 1010 1010 010…
Big State University The Big State University course catalog reads as follows: "To enroll in MIS 260, which is an advanced course, a student must complete two prerequisites: MIS 120 and MIS 222. A student who completes either one of these prerequisites and obtains the instructor's permission, however, will be allowed to take MIS 260." Tasks 1. Create a decision table that describes the Big State University course catalog regarding eligibility for MIS 260. Show all possible rules. 2. Simplify the table you just created. Describe the results. 3. Draw a simplified decision tree to represent the Big State University catalog. Describe the results. 4. Why might you use a decision tree rather than a decision table?
