1. Building Sustainable MIS Infrastuctures
Environmental Impacts Associated with MIS
&
Components of A Sustainable MIS Infrastructure

2. Impacts of MIS on Environment
Side Effects

3. Sustainable or Green MIS
The measurement tool of Disposal of technology in a effort to reduce the amount of damages on the Environment.
Be the core parts of a corporate social responsibility

4. The Side Effects of MIS Increased Ewaste Increased Energy consumption
Increased Carbon Emission

5. Increased Electronic Waste
Ewaste may be defined as discarded computers, office electronic equipment, entertainment device electronics, mobile phones, television sets and refrigerators. This definition includes used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling, or disposal.

6. Increased Energy Consumption
Computers consume energy even when they are not used
Adding 10% of the carbon dioxide produced by cars
Computers are an open 24/7 business but only to produce more carbon dioxide

7. Increased Carbon Emissions
carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.
The effect of all this extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is that the overall temperature of the planet is increasing (global warming).
global temperature is increasing, on a day-to-day level the climate is changing in unpredictable ways

9. Components of a sustainable MIS infrastructure:
Grid Computing
Cloud Computing
Virtualized computing

10. Grid Computing
—A collection of computers, often geographically dispersed, that are coordinated to solve a common problem
— Smart grids solve the Energy Issue by delivering electricity using two-way digital technology.

11. Cloud Computing
— refers to the use of resources and applications hosted remotely on the Internet — offers new ways to store, access, process, and analyze information — connect people and resources from any location — information is safe and always available — Utility computing – pay per use

13. Cloud Computing Service Delivery Methods
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS)

14. Infrastructure as a Service
Definition: Delivers hardware networking capabilities, including the use of servers, networking, and storage over the cloud
Think of it as a utility
Dynamic scaling: MIS infrastructure can be automatically scaled up or down based on needed requirements of the business
Example: Amazon EC2

15. Software as a Service Definition: Delivers applications over the cloud
Advantages include:
Cost effective
Immediate benefits
Benefits of testing new software
Example: Salesforce.com

16. Platform as a Service
Definition: Supports the deployment of entire systems including hardware, networking, and applications
Solution for the headache of maintaining a software
PaaS helps to minimize operational costs and increase productivity
Example: Google’s App Engine

17. Virtualization
— allows multiple virtual computers to exist on a single computing device — one of the primary uses is for performing backup and recovery — Data Center - a facility used to house management information systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems
