Using An Online Virtual Server To Simulate Network Administration, G, Kent Webb
Using An Online Virtual Server To Simulate Network Administration, G, Kent Webb
Faculty Publications, Information Systems & Technology
Participants in the rapidly changing computer networking arena face the significant challenge of keeping up with technologies that are often expensive to deploy, making it particularly difficult to gain hands-on experience. A survey of current job descriptions indicates that Microsoft systems continue to experience strong interest among employers. Learning alternatives are considered with a focus on a new solution to the problem of hands-on experience that has been provided by Microsoft, a virtual server lab that is available on-line and is free. Features of this virtual lab are explained, and the results of an experiment to integrate this lab into …
An Exploratory Study Into Open Source Platform Adoption, Jason Dedrick, Joel West
An Exploratory Study Into Open Source Platform Adoption, Jason Dedrick, Joel West
Faculty Publications, School of Management
Research on open source software has focused mainly on the motivations of open source programmers and the organization of open source projects (Kogut and Metiu, 2001 and Lerner and Tirole, 2002). Some researchers portray open source as an extension of the earlier open systems movement (West and Dedrick, 2001). While there has been some research on open-systems software adoption by corporate MIS organizations (Chau and Tam, 1997) the issue of open source adoption has received little attention. We use a series of interviews with MIS managers to develop a grounded theory of open source platform adoption. We contrast this to …
Predicting Processor Performance, G. Kent Webb
Predicting Processor Performance, G. Kent Webb
Faculty Publications, Information Systems & Technology
As part of an effort to keep an MIS curriculum in line with market demand, a sample of job postings from Monster.com was taken over a one year period. A list of most frequently requested skills and knowledge was created for jobs requiring a bachelor’s degree in information systems (IS) or management information systems (MIS). The results support the importance of verbal and written communications. The skills lists were further broken down into four traditional career paths: database, networking, systems analysis, and programming. A cluster analysis of the data revealed three basic skill groups: analysis, programming, and networking.
A Rule Based Forecast Of Hard Disk Drive Costs, G. Kent Webb
A Rule Based Forecast Of Hard Disk Drive Costs, G. Kent Webb
Faculty Publications, Information Systems & Technology
While the cost of storage devices such as hard disk drives continues to fall, the overall proportion of computer network costs dedicated to storage continues to rise. Within a few years, storage will account for 50 percent of total network hardware and software costs. Since computer networks typically have long lives, the design process often involves projecting costs many years into the future. This paper examines a rule based on a technology trend that can be used to estimate the cost per megabyte of hard disk drives. The rule is similar to the well-known Moore’s law that has reliably summarized …
Faster Ethernet And The Atm Market Boundary, G. Kent Webb
Faster Ethernet And The Atm Market Boundary, G. Kent Webb
Faculty Publications, Information Systems & Technology
As a network technology, ethernet flourished in low-cost, low-end markets. Simple to make and with open standards, many companies created products. The resulting improvement in price, performance, and market acceptance resulted in ethernet replacing the more established and sophisticated token-ring technology that dominated early large corporate LANs. As ethernet gets faster, accelerating from the original 10 Mbps into Gigabit speeds, the technology is poised to challenge the dominant backbone and WAN standard, ATM. A discussion of new ethernet developments is formalized with a decision model used to define a market boundary with data illustrating why and where a technology may …
From E-Business Into The O-Zone: Development Of Optical Networks, G. Kent Webb
From E-Business Into The O-Zone: Development Of Optical Networks, G. Kent Webb
Faculty Publications, Information Systems & Technology
An increasing proportion of e-business and other network traffic moves over optical networks which provide higher capacity, speed, and security than electrical networks. An all optical network and even optical computing has been envisioned for 20 years, but technical characteristics of optical components have limited applications to the high end of networking, typically for speeds above 2.5 Gbps. While a fundamental advance in physics may be required for the implementation of an all-optical network, optics continues a steady advance into the network infrastructure. This paper describes the technical evolution of optical systems and examines the changing cost structure of optical …
