(THUMB ON PAPER)

Data PyramidIt is a concept that visualizes the data-information-knowledge-wisdom hierarchy.InformationA collection of data from a variety of sources. Data is continually aggregating and is not useful until it has been processed and is presented in a usable form. Can be unstructured or structured, and the key term associated with it is meaning DataIncludes raw facts or observations.KnowledgeIt is a dynamic combination of experience, values, and contextual information. The key term associated with knowledge is "context" Wisdomit is knowing the right thing to do.Connectedness Wisdomis essentially "the path to connected understanding" when interpreting data. It is that human element leveraging an intelligent technology component when attempting to make fact-based decisions.Smart Data/Big DataTrusted source for business decisions, connections we may not imagined existed Structured DataCoded in a way that makes it easy to convert into a form usable for analysis. E.g.first name, last name, email, phone # Unstructured DataMore complex & stored in a format that is not easy decoded. E.g. data stored in video/text format Information SystemsCollections of data and information used to support decision-making in organizations Data ArchitectireInfrastructure used to manage data

• Core Variations of Cloud-Based SystemsIaaS, PaaS, SaaS

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)Provides access in virtualized environment & computing resources are composed of virtual hardware (client responsible)

Platform as a Service (PaaS)Customers have access to a platform that supports the development & management of web applications (cloud service provider responsible) Software as a Service (SaaS)Software is licensed to customers with subscriptions & central hosting. E.g.Microsoft Office 365 Analyzing Business ProcessesCollecting data from multiple platforms & portals, integrating for better overall view

• Steps for Transforming Institutional Knowledge into

Implementing Data Solutions Capturing, Analyzing, Using Types of Bad DataDuplicate data, conflicting data, incomplete data, invalid data, unsynchronized data IPOS (Input-Process-Output-Storage)The IPOS model explains what computer systems are used for. They take input, process it, and provide an output while using storage to keep intermediate and final results of the transformation of data. Individual hardware components support the function of computer systems.MiddlewareAllows software & hardware to communicate

• Major Hardware ComponentsCPU, storage, and peripheral devices

CPU (Central Processing Unit)Supports data processing, electronic circuit responsible for executing computer program introductions.What is the term of the speed of processor processing information?Gigahertz Computer MemoryStores ephemeral programs and data in use temporarily for quick access, hardware in memory slots of motherboard, RAM Graphics Processor UnitProcesses huge batches of graphic data, important for 3D rendering Hard DriveStorage device that stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating rigid disks with magnetic surfaces. The device is either permanently installed within the computer case or can be portable Power Supply Unit (PSU)Provides power to the internal components of the computer Peripheral DevicesIt supports the input and output operations of the system.Three parts of CPUALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit), Control Unit, and Processor Register Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)It contains circuitry that performs on data. Such as addition and subtraction Control UnitIt contains circuitry coordinating the machine's activities
