The majority of world commerce today relies on Information Technology. From the accounting software that handles your accounts and payroll to your Web page, business is increasingly supported by IT services and infrastructure. But like all good tools, IT is limited by our understanding of it and the uses it is given by us.
Looking at a model of Information Technology or IT Services and its infrastructure, it may not be surprising to find a correlation between the creation and its creator. More than that, it is a hologram of the creator. There are obvious similarities to hardware and parts of human anatomy. There is a central processor, like the brain. Information travels throughout the computer by wiring similar to nerve axons. Input units, like the mouse, the keyboard etc. are similar to human senses which gather information. But take it to the next level and you will see a labyrinth of reflections, each mirroring the other in form and function.
In the beginning there was ENIAC, a monstrous, modular computing giant which, for all its speed and mathematical prowess, could not retain a program. It was a brain with no memory. It was fed and spit out punch cards. Technology advanced to Main Frame computers with dumb terminals. These behemoths gave off so much heat that they had to be cooled with water.
Like their counterparts in the biological world, computers have evolved to suit the current climate. They are sleek, powerful, and in addition to individual applications, are designed to share data and services. The mainframes, themselves have evolved into servers, supporting the brave new Pantheon: a celestial convergence of power and knowledge, delivered in the blink of an eye.
We are the masters of super-intelligent minions whose astonishing abilities are limited only by our own ignorance, or lack of creativity. We stand on the brink of : “Your wish is my command” capability. Power of this kind is best used when balanced with knowledge and wisdom.
Enterprise IT Management
What does “enterprise” really mean in the world of it services or information technology? Even IT service professionals confess they find the term confusing. This could be because it has become muddy in its connotation. Some use it to mean “large” or having to do with a “business enterprise”. And there are so many subjects enterprise is attached to:
Enterprise architecture | Enterprise software | Enterprise services
Let’s try to bring “enterprise” into sharper focus. Let’s look at some of the parameters that define enterprise software:
It is scalable
It is customizable
It boldly goes where no man has gone before…Just kidding.
***:( 1) A popular buzzword that refers to how well a hardware or software system can adapt to increased demands. For example, a scalable network system would be one that can start with just a few nodes but can easily expand to thousands of nodes. Scalability can be a very important feature because it means that you can invest in a system with confidence you won’t outgrow it.
(2) Refers to anything whose size can be changed. For example, a font is said to be scalable if it can be represented in different sizes.
(3) When used to describe a computer system, the ability to run more than one processor.
