...many methods can do this; they use these methods so that they can have a return on investment so that they can be successful. Some organizations are utilizing technology to reach the most consumers they can by going and operating in the digital world as well as having a physical location that consumers can go buy. By using the Internet, organizations are able to reach consumers outside of their geographical location and reach markets segments closed to them before. Organizations that use the Internet to reach the market segment they are aiming for have a heads up on organizations that do not. By utilizing the internet and operating in the digital world an organization can have global reach; this makes the company available to consumers anywhere they can access the web (Mullins & Walker, pg 381). This also makes them available 24/7, 365 days to consumers, that can easily be tracked and by using specific keywords, or when they click on a company’s banner (Mullins & Walker, pg 355).

...Explain the differences between data, voice, and video signals in 200 to 300 words. Include a description comparing the differences between a private branch exchange (PBX) and Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP). Solution: Data signal is a mode of physical data transmission usually in binary code in signals or pulses from one source point to one or more destination point. Data is transformed into electromagnetic signals prior to transmission across a network. Data and video signal are typically encoded utilizing a digital methodology where voice is typically encoded utilizing an analog format. In analog technology, sound is recorded in its original form. Therefore, for instance, if making a recording of the sound, the audio is taken straight from the microphone and stored onto the storage media. The wave from the microphone is an analog wave, and therefore the wave on the tape is analog as well. That wave on the tape can be read, amplified and put through a sound system to produce the original sound. In digital technology, the video or data is turned into numbers that are stored on a digital device such as a computer. The more samples that are taken the more closely the digital data reflect the original data or video signal. Another option is that the data and video are directly encoded into digital format to start with and does not require sampling. In addition to this, Voice signals are generally less data intensive as only the audio part is captured and is compressed...

...IT Project Proposal Background: Our Company is a small regional software developer, specializing in custom applications. In order to cut costs, improve redundancy and many other benefits, the company is deciding to change its current IT infrastructure to better take advantage of cloud computing. The current infrastructure is setup in a very traditional way. The company co-locates dedicated servers to a datacenter to serve as their backbone, utilizing middleware and specialized servers to suit their needs. This means they must pay for their own equipment, bandwidth and other assorted costs associated with the datacenter. In the office, they also have a traditional setup involving routers, switches and some small-scale servers to accommodate office applications. Proposed change: The Company wants to start taking advantage of cloud computing to cut their down costs and simplify their IT structure. By utilizing services such as Amazon’s EC2 and Google’s Enterprise Apps, they believe this would greatly improve the simplicity and cost structure of current IT infrastructure. Instead of hosting their applications and data on dedicated, fully-owned and co-located servers, the company will instead employ the services of Amazon EC2. This will provide them with a simple cost structure, and redundancy, while at the same time removing the need for full-time IT staff to manage it. In addition, instead of paying for licenses to use Microsoft Office (Word,Excel, Outlook, etc), they will...

...Université de Picardie Jules Verne, Amiens, France Received: June 14, 2011 / Accepted: July 11, 2011 / Published: October 10, 2011. Abstract: Bioreactor operation requires continuous monitoring of fermentation parameters and real-time control over bioreactor devices. Remote monitoring and control of the bioreactor’s computer via the Internet avoids the necessity of personnel being continually onsite during operation. A two liter Sartorius-stedim Biostat® A Plus fermentation system was networked and interfaced with the commercial software from GoToMyPC® to allow remote control of the fermentation system utilizing the internet. The fermentation vessel was equipped with hardware calibrated for monitoring and controlling culture parameters during experimentations. The uniform resource locator controlled night-vision web camera allowed continuous monitoring of the glass fermentation vessel during the day and at night. The main window screen of the laboratory computer can be securely accessed from any portable device (i.e. laptop) capable of establishing an Internet connection and executing the commercial software from GoToMyPC®. The secured internet protocol address, provided by GoToMyPC®, assures that the system can only be controlled by authorized users who have been given access to the account. This interface permits the remote control of the Biostat® A Plus fermentation system and possibly other automated or potentially automated culturing systems at the convenience of the user(s)...
