IT Management

Description: I have a PowerPoint assignment on cloud IT virtualization. With the following emphasis on the first five pages of the presentation. a. Identifying and justifying the optimal choice of service model, deployment model, and vendor for all systems and services(50%) b. Risk identification, specific controls for mitigation, key contract terms. 25% c. Integration Architecture for seamless operation across clouds. 25% d. Typos, grammatical errors, and other errors that demonstrate a lack of attention: -10% per occurrence. Assignment The CIO of XX company has decided to move 100% of their IT landscape to the cloud. You have been asked to design the migration strategy for all systems and services. For each of the systems specified in the scenario, identify the cloud deployment and service model you will recommend and then make a specific vendor recommendation. You must provide a detailed rationale for your choice including risk assessment, mitigation, and controls and must be consistent with best practices. An integration architecture that would allow all systems to interact as necessary across multiple clouds must be included.  Suggestion: Your final architecture will likely be a hybrid cloud with a combination of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS in public and private clouds. Make sure you do not ignore essential services such as IAM. Deliverable: Standalone PPTX (i.e each slide must be self-explanatory). No specific limit on length. I’d expect 3-5 slides to do justice to each major system that is being transitioned in addition to slides that illustrate how all the systems will be integrated for seamless operation.

Below are functions that the IT department executes1.  Operating and Maintaining Servers2.  Loading Software on Servers3.  Setting Permissions for Software on Servers4.  Buying and configuring new Servers and storage5.  Configuring a Continuity of Operations Site with replication from the main servers.6.  Writing home grown software7.  Configuring Firewalls to protect software on serversFor each of the above, provide a short opinion on what whether the function remains or goes away when you move to the “cloud”.Then assess for yourself how big the benefit is to the organization for moving to cloud – what might be important factors?

What do you think were the critical factors that fueled the need for IT governance? In what ways did ISO affect the standards for network security?At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library. Use proper citations and references in your post.`All of your discussion post for this course must use the 3 paragraph structure described below in the Prof. guidelines pointsUse your own words, I prefer you use quotations VERY sparingly or not at all. There should be no cutting and pasting from outside sources.Deviations from the 3 paragraph format will result in a automatic 10 (ten) point deduction and additional scrutiny for plagiarism.Prof. guidelines:Discussion response will take the form of a 3 paragraph, (no more than 1 page) response that can stand on its own right.You willneed to write in academic style, aiming at an anonymous reader who may exist in a different time or space. EG, you need to write for someone who will read your post 50 years from now, or 5000 miles from here, or both.Be formal and precise because your goal is to educate that reader.While you are writing, try to avoid obvious phrases such as “This article is about…”. It’s an annotated bibliography. The entire purpose is to describe what the article is about so don’t waste space stating the obvious. Just jump right in to the good stuff: the stuff that the reader needs to know.For example, if you are given the task to research CLOUD COMPUTING, then a summary of an article on cloud computing might start with something along the lines of: Summary: CIOs under the mandate of the US Government’s “Cloud First” policy report that there are critically important challenges to moving to the cloud in a way that minimizes security concerns and maintains usefulness of the information resource. Two main concerns are the contract structure and the information architecture, both of which must be well thought through prior to migration to the cloud. Recommended actions to assist in this engineering effort are to have a cloud advisory board and participating in the FedRMP program.You should write only as many words as are needed to capture the summary of the article. You’re not replicating the content but simply pointing out the important bits. In fact, your goal should be to capture the spirit of the article in as few words as possible. You don’t need to quote or paraphrase: simple summarize the point of the article. This is easier by the way, with articles that are actually dense with facts and research. News reports are notoriously difficult to summarize, simply because they tend to be summaries themselves. They are also not particularly useful as sources for a research report.The second paragraph, the Assessment, is where you tear apart the article and point out any flaws in logic or applicability. Tell your reader what the article is good for AND what it is not good for. Your reader needs to know strengths and limitations, so tell them. Be precise! For more information on how to be a critical evaluator of an article, see https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/553/03/.The third paragraph, the reflection paragraph is where you discuss how the topic contributed to your learning. I mean on a personal level, what did you learn and what could your classmates learn.Books and ResourcesRequired Text(s): You need to have (Managing and Using Information Systems: A strategic Approach, 6th Edition by Peralson, Saundersn and Galletta.)

Respond to the following:While it is understood that the CIO should set the example for the IT organization, determine the top three things that the head of IT should be doing to improve the skills of the IT staff.Having staff with the proper skill sets is immensely important to accomplishing corporate objectives. List and support three best practices in staffing future organizational needs.

Please respond to the following:1. Imagine that you are a CIO and you have been tasked to examine the process of moving from one host server or storage location to another. Predict two foreseen challenges of migrating an application to the cloud in a live migration and high- availability setting. Propose a preventative measure or a solution for each of these challenges.2. Imagine that you are the CIO for a midsized organization in this industry. Determine, in 10 or less steps, the timeline for a live migration to the cloud in your organization. Determine the three greatest risks in this deployment.

In this unit, you have learned about management information systems (MIS) and the importance of it. For this assignment, compose a paper that discusses the key differences between data, information, information technology (IT), and information systems (IS). Your paper should address the components listed below. Define what is meant by information. Define what is meant by data. Create two matrices (one for data and one for information) that illustrate the key differences between information and data, place the matrices into your paper, and briefly discuss the differences in one or two paragraphs. Each matrix should contain characteristics and/or facts about the subjects (data and information) that show how they are different. Define IT. Define IS. Using the five-component model as an example, discuss some differences between IT and IS. If you are using Microsoft Word, you can develop a matrix using this program. For an example of how to create a matrix using Microsoft Word, see the Microsoft.com explanation by clicking the link below. Microsoft. (n.d.). Create a matrix. Retrieved from https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-a-matrix-0E74423D-2E28-4DEB-9223-A30C2312CC22 You may use another computer software program that you are familiar with to create the matrices. However, you must submit your assignment in a Microsoft Word document, and the matrices should be included in the body of your paper. Your paper must be a minimum of two pages in length (not counting the title and reference pages), and you must use at least two resources as references. Any information from these resources must be cited and referenced in APA format.
