Explain Microsoft (or another product) licensing for virtualized environments. Recommend a configuration for shared storage; make sure to discuss the need for high availability and redundancy for virtualization for the organization. Explain Windows Azure capabilities for virtual machines and managing a hybrid cloud, including Windows Azure’s Internet as a Service (IaaS) and storage capabilities Make a recommendation for cloud computer use in the organization, including a justification for your recommendations. Submit your research paper as a single document. Your paper should meet the following requirements:Be approximately 3 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page. Follow APA6 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion. Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook.

Chapter 3 presented the approach Mars, Incorporated used to implement ERM, and chapter 5 presented the University of California Health System’s ERM development. In what ways are the two organization’s approaches to ERM similar? How do they differ? Choose one aspect of each ERM implementation from which the other organization would benefit and explain why. To complete this assignment, you must do the following:A) Create a new thread. As indicated above, describe in what ways the two organization’s approaches to ERM are similar. Also, explain how they differ. Choose one aspect of each ERM implementation from which the other organization would benefit and explain why.

Unit 1 Assignment: SWOT and Linear Regression Outcomes addressed in this activity: Unit Outcomes: types of risks in order to prioritize them. Distinguish the difference between risks and issues. Explain the root causes and consequences of risk. Course Outcome: IT528-1: Enumerate common types of risks and their potential ramifications for modern business. Purpose The purpose of this assignment is to practice developing a SWOT analysis to identify and plan for risk mitigation and then to prepare a linear regression model in R® that will address that risk. You will be expected to complete both a SWOT analysis and a linear regression model in this assignment.AssignmentInstructionsComplete the following steps: In a Microsoft® Word® document, create a SWOT table for the following scenario: Home & Hearth is an American company that distributes heating oil for homes in rural areas across the country. These homes are remote enough that they cannot connect to natural gas services that are a normal part of town and city life. They must purchase heating oil to be delivered to their properties by truck, usually once or twice a month, though sometimes more frequently in colder months. Home & Hearth has been delivering heating oil to such homes all across America since in 1976. The company has a strong network of suppliers of crude oil, and owns its own refineries in eight regional locations around the country to process the crude into heating oil. Although it has more than forty years of experience, the company has been caught off guard from time to time with too little crude oil on-hand when demand for their heating oil has increased, sometimes due to new accounts, sometimes due to harsher or longer than expected winters in some areas. When winters are short or mild, the company is sometimes left with tens of thousands of gallons of crude or refined heating oil on-hand. Heating oil can turn rancid (unusable) if it is not used within a few months, though there are some preservation techniques that can extend the shelf life of heating oil by refrigeration. The price of oil seems to be changing all the time, which frustrates the company’s management as well. Over the years of their existence, oil-burning stoves, furnaces, and hot water tanks have also become much more efficient, and the technology continues to improve. As cities and towns across America have continued to grow, some of their customers have gained access to natural gas hookups, but the company has also seen an influx of new customers moving to the country to escape the congestion and bustle of more metropolitan areas. Note that although there is no hard-and-fast number of items, the paragraph gives enough information that every quadrant of your SWOT table should have at least two items, and could have more depending on your research and knowledge of the energy industry and supply chain concepts. Your lists should include both risks and issues Home & Hearth faces and should distinguish between them. Download the HeatingOil.csv data set file from Course Documents. Import it into using this command: HeatingOil <- read.csv(file.choose(), header=T)Create a linear regression model to predict heating oil usage based on the other variables in the data set. Place a screenshot of your linear regression model into your Word document. Write an interpretation of the predictive ability of your model and independent variables, with specific attention paid to independent variable coefficients and p-values. Conduct research about the energy industry, focusing specifically on SWOT/risks this industry faces. Write a summary of how your linear regression model could help Home & Hearth respond to risk. Contextualize your summary using the research that you found. You should cite a minimum of five sources. These should be related to SWOT, linear regression, and/or risk management in the energy sector. Do not cite the data set or the course textbook. Assignment Requirements Prepare your Assignment submission in Microsoft Word following standard APA formatting guidelines: Double spaced, Times New Roman 12-point font, one inch margins on all sides. Include a title page, table of contents and references page. You do not need to write an abstract. Label all tables and figures. Cite sources appropriately both in the text of your writing (parenthetical citations) and on your references page (full APA citation format). 

This week you take on the role of the Senior IT Project Manager for the organization you chose in Week 1. As a Senior IT Project Manager, your responsibilities may include proficiently working with a variety of technologies, conduct meetings with stakeholders, create and forecast budgets, and design project plans. The CFO of your chosen organization wants the organization to purchase and integrate six new web servers. The CIO envisions more business travelers using the Web to purchase airline tickets and reserve rental cars and hotel rooms for business trips. The expansion of your company’s web capacity is needed. Research information about your chosen organization to complete this week’s assignment. Create a 3- to 5-page Request for Proposal (RFP) in Microsoft® Word for the CIO, which will minimize procurement-related risks for this project. The RFP should contain the following components: Purpose of the RFPOrganization’s background as it applies to the use of the request for new webserver analysis of procurement risk methods for managing procurement riskBasic requirements for the current and new hardware and software and hardware environment Statement of work/Requirements and schedule information Process for evaluating the RFP 

Write 3-5 page (excluding cover page and references) APA formatted research paper.  The focus is on an organization that you choose which has leveraged Cloud Computing technologies in an attempt to improve profitability or to give them a competitive advantage.  Research the organization to understand the challenges that they faced and how they intended to use Cloud Computing to overcome their challenges.

Research: Data Mining Applications.Background: As noted by Efraim (2020), data mining has become a popular tool in addressing many complex business problems and opportunities. It has proven to be very successful and helpful in many areas such as banking, insurance, and etc. The goal of many of these business data mining applications is to solve a pressing problem or to explore an emerging business opportunity in order to create a sustainable competitive advantage.

Decision modeling with spreadsheets is regarded as clearly the most popular end-user modeling tool. Explain vividly why this is so, i.e., why a spreadsheet is so conducive to the development of Decision Support Systems (DSS). In your discussion, please include what a spreadsheet is, what a spreadsheet add-in means, and how can a spreadsheet add-ins help in DSS creation and use? Additionally, post some examples or find a related topic on the Internet and comment on it in the discussion post.Reference: Sharda, R., Delen, Dursun, and Turban, E. (2020).
