Question 1

List and describe the different stages in the evolution of the modern IT infrastructure from earliest to latest.Since this evolution is cumulative,provide an example of how a modern organization could utilize each type of technology.

Accepted Answer

Stand-alone mainframes - students could argue that organization-wide systems like ERP could run on mainframes; while this is enterprise computing,organizations wouldn't want just anyone to have access to these critical systems; as such,those systems would be separated from non-IT personnel - access would only be to those areas of the system people need (see the next point) Mainframe and dumb terminals - as noted above,ERP systems are effectively mainframe and dumb terminals in that people don't have access to the systems themselves but can update what they need to from their PCs Stand-alone PCs - this is the current BYOD phenomenon with employees bringing their own phones,tablets,etc.)to work LANs - all organizations have LANs in that all computers,printers,even phones are linked together (most is wireless) Enterprise computing - this is ERP,CRM,SCM,etc. Cloud computing and mobile computing - not every organization utilizes cloud computing (which is effectively outsourcing)but all are using mobile computing (BYOD effectively "forces" companies to deal with smartphones,tablets,etc.)
