How business should store access distribute internal and external information?

Answer 1

The past two weeks, we have learned about Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and Islamic Empires. Answer the questions below based off what you have learned. There is no time limit and you will have two attempts at this quiz. The first attempt, you are not to use notes, or the PowerPoint. The 2nd attempt, you may use notes and/or the PowerPoints. Your grade will be the average of the two attempts.

Information comes in three kinds based on required input output cycle speeds. There is real-time information, which has almost no cycle period. That is the input and output occur almost concurrently. We can see examples of real-time info in Video Games and simulations of motion like flight simulators.

For real time, external information will be provided by the operator and internal will be generated by the simulation codes. Both would be stored in real-time access memory cores (e.g., CPUs) and accessed in real time by the operator or the code itself. There would likely be long-term data already stored on disks or high-capacity servers in support of the real-time information and processing. Distributed access would be provided over LANs, the internet, or similar.

Then there is long-term information, which has long time cycle periods that can stretch into years or decades for example. Economic data that stretches back to early years of computers are such examples. The operator would be the provider of external information, while the code might generate derived information and store it as internal information. In similar fashion, the operator or another application code should have legitimate access (passwords and ID) to retrieve the information that is typically stored on high-capacity servers and/or data hard disks. Again LANs and the like would provide distributed access.

And of course, in between the real-time and long-term information processing there is the short-term information cycle. No hard fast rule on where real- or long-term cycles become short-term, but short-term information will be stored on a combination of real and long-term storage devices.

A short-term cycle example that I ran across as project manager in research and development was the tracking information used to monitor and control the project. These were daily cycles for the most part, with some weekly and even monthly ones as well. So the storage ranged from CPUs all the way up to hard disks and large servers. My client had limited access to these data via Internet, while I had total administrative access via a proprietary LAN.

Athens and Sparta. Most Greek city states were devoted to politics and the arts, but Sparta was more focused on a military life style because they had many rebellions
