| What is IT infrastructure? | the shared and reliable services that provide the foundation for enterprise IT portfolio. |
| What are the four layers of IT infrastructure? | technical component, human IT, shared IT services, as shared and standard applications. |
| IT components | the foundation of a firms IT infrastructure. It consists of technology components, such as computers, printers, DBMS packages and operating systems. |

| Layer 7: | Application: identifies and establishes availability of communication partners. |
| Layer 6: | Presentation:presents data in standard formats |
| Layer 5: | Session: coordinates communication between nodes |
| Layer 4: | Transport: ensures data integrity via TCP and multiplexing applications |
| Layer 3: | Network(routers): packet routing based on IP addressing |
| Layer 2: | Logical Link: switches are faster, not concerned with IP |
| Layer 1: | Physical: wires |
| Goal of Wireless | is to do everything we can do on wired, but without the wire. |
| Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) | connection between devices up to 30 ft. apart. ex. bluetooth |

| Hierarchical Model | each data element is subordinate to another. |
| Network model | each data can have more than one parent. data relationships are stated explicitly, by pointers. |
| Relational Model | relationships are stated by DBMS to find related items based on values of specific data. |
| Object Model | expands the view of data by storing and managing objects. |
| Object Database | a collection of objects |

| Internal record-based | was original focus of IS organizations, because its the type of information that computer applications generate and manage easily |
| External record-based | can be accessed over the internet or through other electronic means via public databases. |
| Operational Databases | are meant to be updated to hold the latest data on, say, a customer. |
| Data Warehouses | are not updated as events occur, only on specific points in time. |
| What is the most common type of data? | customer data, used to discover how to more effectively market to current customers as well as non-customers with the same characteristics. |
| Quality Data | the biggest challenge. manual task, one of the latest warehousing team must perform. |
