IT Architecture
Although there is always a need for improved technology, the critical resource is intelligent resourceful people who can relate business needs to technology.
James J. O’Connor
The central core of information technology involves a study of programming languages, algorithms and information structures.
Describe Information in terms of:
• Accuracy
• Verifiability
• Completeness
• Relevance
• Timeliness
Computers
• Supercomputer• Main Frame• Mini Computer• PC’s• Thin Clients• Laptops and Notebooks• Palmtops / PDA’s• Smart Cards
Input Devices
Output Devices
Cable Media
• Shielded Twisted Pair
• Unshielded Twisted Pair
• Coax
• Fiber
Wireless Media
• Microwave
• Satellite
–GEO
–MEO
– LEO• GPS• Radio• Infrared• Cellular
Networks
• WAN
• LAN
• PAN
• VPN
LAN
WAN’s
• Network which incorporates extended geographical boundaries
• Network which has a centralized point of data exchange
• Network which joins remote networks in increase productivity
• Network which extends existing resources
Networking Standards –OSI Model
• Layer 1: Physical Layer
• Layer 2: Data Link layer
• Layer 3: Network Layer
• Layer 4: Transport Layer
• Layer 5: Session Layer
• Layer 6: Presentation Layer
• Layer 7: Application Layer
OSI Example
Business Model
Equipment
• Repeaters
• Bridges (DSU/CSU)
• Routers
• Hubs / Switches
• Interface Cards (NIC)
Connectivity Services
• Switched
• Dedicated
• Packet–Modems– Frame Relay
Connectivity Bandwidth
• DDS• Switched Phone
Networks• 56K• T1• T3• OC3• OC12• OC192
• ATM• ISDN• xDSL• Cable Modems
LAN"A data communications system allowing a number of independent devices to communicate directly with each other, within a moderately sized geographic area over a physical communications channel of moderate data rates." IEEE
Topology
• Bus - Ethernet
• Token Ring
• Star
Protocols
• TCP/IP • IPX • Netbui• SNMP (Management protocol)• Appletalk• X.25• Z39.50• IPNG??
Why LANs
• Need to share data, software, and hardware
• Centralized management
• Share access to outside sources
Future
• To distribute expertise not just files
• Remote offices have leadership and expertise - Videoconferencing
• Teleworkers need to be part of the structure
