What type of computer is normally a large centralized computer found in enteprise evironments?
Mainframes are large centralized computers found in sizable enterprises.
According to a conversion done by searching "KB to GB" in Google, there are 9.53674316 × 10-7 gigabytes in 1 kilobyte.
Written out, this would be equal to 0.000000953674316 GB in 1 KB.
Since a Kilobyte is a lot smaller than a Gigabyte, you can not even fit one Gigabyte inside of it. However, if you were to try and fill a GB with KBs, you would be able to fit 1,048,576 KB in a GB.
The way this can be figured out is:
1,024 KB = 1 MB
1,024 MB = 1 GB
In order to figure out the number of KB in 1 GB, all you need to do is multiply 1,024 (or the number or KB that are in 1 MB) by 1,024, as there are 1,024 MB in 1 GB.
Doing so will give you 1,048,576 KB, which happens to be 1 GB.
Good luck and I hope I helped you!
The types of problems that occur in information systems?
One type of problem that occurs with information systems are a virus. The way to deal with a virus is to use antivirus software after you alert the manager. Another problem is breaches of confidentiality. This basically is when someone hacks a companies system. The manager should be alerted immediately.
How much does 1024 gb equal to?
If you are using a mb that equals 1024 kb and a kb that equals 1024 bytes, then you have 0.0009765625 mb, you could also say 1 kb.
If you are using a mb that equals 1000 kb and a kb that equals 1000 bytes, then you have 0.001024 mb, you could also say 1.024 kb.
25600 megabytes.
You can use Google to convert things.
Just search '25GB in MB' and it tells you.
You need to use capitals on the GB and MB thought.
Converts currency, measurements and loads of other stuff.
Have Fun :)

Definition of geographic scope?
Geographic scope is the coverage that computers have within a certain geographic area.
It is also how far the computer along with its network can reach geographically. Local networks use dedicated data channels and consist of private branch exchanges and local area networks. Wide-area networks use telecommunication channels and also include value added networks
What are the differences between conventional and public key algorithms?
In cryptography, public key algorithms require two keys, one secret and one public. The public key is used in the encryption function, while the secret key is used in decryption . Conventional, or symmetric algorithms use a single key for both purposes.
Why should backups be stored off-site and periodically tested?
The reason why some business organization kept their backup database because this is part of their disaster recovery plan for their own business purpose and in order to make sure there is database available when there is an disaster happened and to ensure their business will be run in a period or time.
What is the difference between distributed systems and systems connected in a network?
Computer Networks : Computers are connected generally in the same physical location, using different styles e.g. Token ring, Star, Serial connection, etc. Also called as LAN, Local Area Nerwork. U will find it in a library, small offices, in the same building, computer labs, cyber cafe's etc, etc. or computer network can be set up in your home also ...
Distrubuted Systems : Also can be considered as a type of computer network but in a much large scale. Generally called as WAN, or Wide Area Network. Different computers are connected at different physical locations across cities, states, etc. Using distributed systems, various computer programs can be run or executed remotely irrespective of physical locations, so as to use the more meomory and processing power of other computers.
What are the limitation of information processing theory?
Information processing theory has several limitations, including its tendency to oversimplify complex cognitive processes by likening the mind to a computer, which can neglect the emotional and social factors influencing cognition. Additionally, it often focuses on individual cognitive functions in isolation rather than considering the holistic nature of human thought and behavior. The theory may also struggle to account for variations in learning styles and cultural differences in cognition. Lastly, it may not adequately address the dynamic and interactive aspects of real-world problem-solving.
