1. BUSINESS PLUG-IN B9 SUSTAINABLE MIS INFRASTRUCTURES

2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
Identify the environmental impacts associated with MIS
Explain the three components of a sustainable MIS infrastructures along with their business benefits

3. MIS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Moore’s Law - Refers to the computer chip performance per dollar doubles every 18 months
Sustainable, or “green,” MIS - Describes the production, management, use, and disposal of technology in a way that minimizes damage to the environment
Corporate social responsibility - Companies’ acknowledged responsibility to society

4. MIS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Three Primary Side Effects Of Businesses’ Expanded Use Of Technology

5. INCREASED ELECTRONIC WASTE
Ewaste - Refers to discarded, obsolete or broken electronic devices
Sustainable MIS disposal - Refers to the safe disposal of MIS assets at the end of their life cycle

6. INCREASED ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Energy consumption – The amount of energy consumed by business processes and systems
Huge increases in technology use have greatly amplified energy consumption
The energy consumed by a computer is estimated to produce as much as 10 percent of the amount of carbon dioxide produced by an automobile

7. INCREASED CARBON EMISSIONS
Carbon emissions – Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide produced by business processes and systems
When left on continuously, a single desktop computer and monitor can consume at least 100 watts of power per hour

Grid computing - A collection of computers, often geographically dispersed, that are coordinated to solve a common problem

10. VIRTUALIZED COMPUTING
Virtualization - Creates multiple “virtual” machines on a single computing device

11. VIRTUALIZED COMPUTING
Data center – A facility used to house management information systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems
Sustainable data centers
Reduces carbon emissions
Reduces required floor Space
Chooses Geographic location

12. CLOUD COMPUTING

13. CLOUD COMPUTING
Multi-tenancy – The cloud means that a single instance of a system serves multiple customers
Single-tenancy – Each customer or tenant must purchase and maintain an individual system
Cloud fabric – The software that makes possible the benefits of cloud computing, such as multi-tenancy
