Molntjänsters Påverkan På Komplexiteten I IT-Miljön Institutionen för informatik Molntjänsters påverkan på komplexiteten i IT-miljön Kandidatuppsats 15 hp, kurs SYSK16 i Informationssystem Författare: Joel Klingberg Rasmus Nordqvist Handledare: Ahmad Ghazawneh Rättande lärare: Magnus Wärja Odd Steen Molntjänsters påverkan på komplexiteten i IT-miljön Joel Klingberg & Rasmus Nordqvist Huvudtitel: Molntjänsters påverkan på komplexiteten i IT-miljön ENGELSK TITEL: The effect of cloud usage on complexity in the IT-environment. FÖRFATTARE: Joel Klingberg, Rasmus Nordqvist UTGIVARE: Institutionen för informatik, Ekonomihögskolan, Lunds universitet EXAMINATOR: Odd Steen, Docent, Fil Dr FRAMLAGD: maj, 2019 DOKUMENTTYP: Kandidatuppsats ANTAL SIDOR: 98 NYCKELORD: cloud, molntjänster, komplexitet, molnkomplexitet, IT-miljö SAMMANFATTNING (MAX. 200 ORD): Denna studie tittar på hur användandet av molntjänster påverkar komplexiteten i IT-miljön. Studien tittar både på konsumenter av molntjänster och leverantörer av molntjänster. Genom intervjuer hittas flera områden hos respondenterna där komplexiteten i IT-miljön både ökat och minskat genom användandet av molntjänster. Områden där komplexiteten ökar är genom att fler system introduceras i IT-miljön vilket kan ske genom att molntjänsterna förenklar för- värvandet av system samt förvärrar skugg-IT problematiken, ökad komplexitet på högre ni- våer som applikationsnivå och centraliserad kontroll vilket ökar komplexiteten för kunden då leverantören kan påverka kundens IT-miljö. Områden där komplexiteten minskar är genom bättre standardisering och integration, tar bort lägre skikt som hårdvarunivå och centraliserar kontrollen vilket minskar komplexiteten för leverantörens IT-miljö. Slutsatsen är att använ- dandet av molntjänster ser ut att öka komplexiteten i IT-miljön mer än hur användandet mins- kar den. Rekommendationer som görs för att hantera denna ökade komplexitet är högre be- vakning och kontroll av IT-miljön. – I – Molntjänsters påverkan på komplexiteten i IT-miljön Joel Klingberg & Rasmus Nordqvist Innehåll Ordlista .................................................................................................................................

  • Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications As a Service, Worldwide
    LICENSED FOR DISTRIBUTION Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications as a Service, Worldwide Published: 23 August 2016 ID: G00291960 Analyst(s): Daniel O'Connell, Bern Elliot Summary UCaaS is now a viable alternative for many (not all) enterprise deployments. Enterprise planners should look for expanded global capacity, better customer service and project management, an expanded set of APIs, and the ability to deploy a richer set of UC functionality led by mobility and video. Market Definition/Description This document was revised on 30 August 2016. The document you are viewing is the corrected version. For more information, see the Corrections page on gartner.com. Unified communications as a service (UCaaS) supports the same functions as its premises-based unified communications (UC) counterpart. The chief difference is that UCaaS adheres to a cloud service delivery model. Gartner therefore uses the same six broad communications functions for both (see Note 1 for detailed definitions): • Voice and telephony, including mobility support • Conferencing — Audioconferencing, videoconferencing and web conferencing • Messaging — Email with voice mail and unified messaging (UM) • Presence and instant messaging (IM) • Clients — Including desktop clients and thin browser clients • Communications-enabled applications — For example, integrated collaboration and contact center applications Two types of cloud delivery architectures are in the UCaaS market. The first is multitenant, in which all customers share a common (single) software instance. The second is multi-instance, in which each customer receives its own software instance. Both the multitenant and multi-instance architectures possess such cloud characteristics as shared infrastructure (for example, data centers, racks, common equipment and blades), shared tools (for example, provisioning, performance and network management tools), per-user-per-month pricing, and elasticity to dynamically add and subtract users.

I've been with Verizon for ten years now ten years this month I was born and raised in the Philippines. About 40 minutes or an hour from Manila. I've always been that person that's always like a go-getter let's go after it let's go. I traveled with my flipflops with one luggage and $500 in my pocket. All I knew was I was going to San Francisco. I had a map and my American Dream. Until now it still gives me goosies when I think about it I'm like oh, my God what was I thinking I arrived it was freezing cold I used my $500 to get boots I was freezing Verizon said they were hiring for part-time service rep long story short I got the job for me along the way the journey with Verizon my journey in the uses being resilient and patience and compassion helped me in my life where I came from in the Philippines there's places where they don't have electricity. I am so thankful that Verizon has provided me the means of being able to help out. So last month along with my high school classmates we were able to generate almost 300,000 pesos so we could buy basic needs, basic food and basic medical supplies and here in Vegas every weekend I make masks with my mother.

NEW YORK, NY – Verizon will soon be able to offer increased mobility and broadband services to millions more consumers and businesses as a result of the recent FCC C-Band auction. In an investor event tonight, the company’s executive team discussed the acceleration of its strategy and plans to use the strong spectrum position in the industry to continue to drive growth. C-Band auction results Verizon succeeded in more than doubling its existing mid-band spectrum holdings by adding an average of 161 MHz of C-Band nationwide for $52.9 billion including incentive payments and clearing costs. Verizon won between 140 and 200 megahertz of C-Band spectrum in every available market. Specifically, Verizon: ● Secured a minimum 140 megahertz of total spectrum in the contiguous United States and an average of 161 megahertz nationwide; that’s bandwidth in every available market, 406 markets in all. ● Secured a consistent 60 megahertz of early clearing spectrum in the initial 46 markets - this is the swath of spectrum targeted for clearing by the end of 2021, home to more than half of the U.S. population. ● Secured up to 200 megahertz in 158 mostly rural markets covering nearly 40 million people. This will further enhance Verizon’s broadband solution portfolio for rural America. The auction results represent a 120 percent increase in Verizon’s spectrum holdings in sub-6 gigahertz bands.
