Are you as amazed by Computer Technology as I am?  Everything from your smart phone to the GE PLC shows the progression of technological advancement over the previous decades.  For instance the GE Fanuc series of component parts is the latest in a long line up of Computer Technology component parts that demonstrate this great advance in technology.  So what can we expect in the future years in regard to even further computer advancement?  It’s very difficult to gauge what will happen in the upcoming years but I think that we can safely assume that technology will continue to move forward at a rapid rate.  We all know how amazing the advancements in Computer Technology of 10 over the previous 50 years.  For instance the concept of a personal computer would’ve been foreign to someone in the 1950s and yet is extremely common today.  So what can we expect than 50 years time that would be unimaginable today?  Will smart phones play an even larger role in our lives than they currently do?  I think that this is one area that we can definitely bank on as smart phones have become indispensable to those who use them.  I think that we can also safely assume that technology as a whole will play a larger part of people’s day to day lives in the future because suddenly the trend has been heading this way for the last few decades.  50 years ago if very few people came into contact with computers now almost everyone is in constant contact with them so this trend will likely continue.

Similarly, many business professionals, who are traveling most of the time, also use their home pc as a remote computer and access important files from any other computer.

This is because they need not carry their laptop with them, which may contain confidential information.

 

Who can establish a remote computer connection?

Any computer that can connect to the Internet can be use as a remote computer. A computer, which is connected through a cable Internet connection, can also be accessed remotely. Similarly, you can use this pc to connect access any other remote computer.

Remote computer connection can be established by using remote access software. For example, you must install a software program on the pc, which you want to access remotely and a host program needs to be installed on the pc, which is to be used to access the remote pc.

Introduction

Technology can be regarded as a use of knowledge and tools As well as systems in performing a given duty to produce a better results in an easy way. Technology can also be said is a use of materials to perform a duty and the results in a more convenient manner. Technology has an effect on the way human does his job and also in ability on how he would adapt to his environment. The use of technology begun with the use of natural resources to make simple tools that were used to make work easy and have a control on what is being done. Technology has benefits to human and his working environment.

Benefits of technology

There are several benefits that are associated with technology and have helped in different ways in performing different tasks in different fields. Most companies are concentration on advancing their technology so as they can be able to have better income and improve performance in different fields of work.

Technology has helped in different fields in the company including networking. Initially, networking was done manually with use of connecting cables but now, with advancement of technology, it has become possible to have wireless connectivity of networks (Ambrose, 2001). This may include the LAN (Local area networking) or the WAN (Wide area networking). With proper implementation of networking technology, it provides unique capabilities to the users as well as the administrators. There are association of network and software. They work together to provide connections of different networks which in turn have become beneficial to all who uses the implemented network (Ruth, 1999).

Computers have helped in different ways. Initially, for example, mails were just sent on written form on papers, but with the advancement of technology and software, it has become possible for people to send electronic mails over the internet which is fast and instant, provided the send and the receiver are interconnected and they have the required infrastructure. The network technology have shortened the distance between the sender and the receiver of information, for instance, with a computer and internet connections and live chat software, it has been possible to have a live chat between individuals no matter the distance and in some cases an online conferencing (Frank, 2007).

Technology has also made it possible for sharing hardware in the organization. For instance, an organization may have different individuals on computers and in different departments are able to use one printer. This is a benefit of networking in an organization which was initially done through either connecting the printer to the processing computer or save the data to be printed to a portable devise and use the connected computer to print the document.

Networking technology has on the other hand helped in data management. The data that has been store in the system is easily accessible from anywhere by the users. This helps in managing data as it can be edited, improved or added from any corner provided there is connection. Initially, it was hard to manage data outside the organization as this was only done in a specific computer (Oakley, 1976).

Conclusion

Technology has really changed how work is done. Through the technology, most jobs are well done and take shorter duration than before the inclusion of technology in the work. It has helped save space as there are some of the devises that are being shared probably by the whole organization. Technology has made work easy and fast. With technology, time management has become very possible

Computer technology just like other technologies has developed overtime and has also influenced our lives in different ways.  The research in human-computers interaction has been very successful and has influenced the computing system all over the world.  When we compare the evolution of computer technology and the several inventions that has taken place, it is evident that this industry is growing very fast and at a very high speed. This has been attributed to different challenges that have been faced by the players in this industry.  Information technology often shortens as IT is the common term that is commonly used to refer to the entire computer industry. It involves the use computers and software in the to mange information. However different companies use different terms to mean computer technology with some companies using terms like management information systems.

The history of information technology is very interesting.

This can be traced from the time when a department of information technology used a single computer operator especially for data storage to the modern time with complex communication between computers across the world. For business people, this has altered the business field in which the business field has been level and most businesses and customers are able to communicate freely despite time and location (Schwabach 2006 p87).

The major players in this field are always in constant research in order to come up with the most current products for the competitive market.

This is because this industry has become the backbone of the development of all the other industry. Information technology and computers are mandatory requirements for all the organizations in the current business world (Schwabach 2006 p87). However, players in this industry still experience major challenges with regard to piracy and conspiracy of most of their products. Major players which include Microsoft international, Toshiba, Acer, Compaq, Dell, and Hp among other players have not been able to control this illegal act despite their worldwide operations.

Computer technology industry is majorly concerned in the facilitation of communication, data storage, data processing and data delivery to the right people at the right time. This function is essential to every organization that is involved in business activities across the world. Currently, there is intense competition in this industry and the major player, Microsoft international is no longer enjoying the monopoly power that it used to enjoy before. However, this has led to the reduction in the cost of different products if compared to the past. This has also been attributed to partly by the advancement in the technology as well as due to the upcoming new products.

Computer technology has also been popular across the world and the field of expertise has been developed to a new level. Professionals in this field are many and the services that called for highly trained professionals can now be handled by ordinary people due to the production of computer programs that are user friendly (Geisst 2006 p.28). The availability of computers and the reduction in the cost of computers as well as training has also contributed to exposure IT by almost everybody unlike in the past when computers were for the rich and the middle income earners. Many individuals have become IT professionals are now helping in the executing different tasks like, computer networking and information processing, data management, data base and software design, engineering of computer hardware as well as the administration and management of the entire systems at affordable cost. One of the companies the major player in this industry is the Microsoft Corporation which has also transformed this industry at a great deal.

Microsoft Corporation
Background

Microsoft is a multinational company that is located in Redmond, Washington in the United States of America. Microsoft is a company that has world wide business operations and supports the computing industry in licensing, manufacturing and supporting a wide range of product and services in this industry. Through its product division, Microsoft Corporation consists of a variety of products that includes both services as well as tangible products. Microsoft was constituted I the United States of America on 4th April 1975 with the major objective of developing and selling BASIC interpreters mainly for Altair 8800. However, Microsoft has since dominated the operating system market by developing different products which it has dominated do date. Microsoft home computer operating systems are the most and the commonly used operating in different parts of the world. It has also dominated the office suite with the popular Microsoft office, recently ventured into the video game industry with the introduction of Xbox as well as in the electronics when they introduced Zune into the market (Shelly 2008 p.56). However, Microsoft Corporation has been criticised that it has for a long time used its monopolistic practices in business which they claimed included anticompetitive strategies. The European commission as well as the department of justice in the U.S. also confirmed that they violated the antitrust laws.

Data is a crucial resource to businesses, governments and individuals. The necessity to manage, store, protect and recover that data is an integral part of any entity’s continuity strategy. In most instances, this data may comprise company records, media files, and encrypted data and so on. This aspect of business data storage and management usually comes under threat when data gets lost, stolen, compromised or destroyed.

Cloud Computing

One emerging technology for storing, managing and protecting data that has been growing in use in recent times is cloud computing. This is a new technology in which hundreds of server networks are interlinked worldwide to create one super computer or cloud in which people around the globe can upload and run their applications. Cloud computing continues to make progress with companies such a Google and Microsoft championing the cause.

This is in addition to the increasing need for more computer resources at cheaper costs.

This concept has emerged as a new frontier for data storage and management. Due to the decentralized nature of the cloud and multiple copies of data replicated on different servers across the globe, this method of storing and managing data is fast catching on. The cloud utilizes the mirror effect common in most online data backup systems. Mirroring involves the updating of multiple servers whenever the parent or main server is updated and this happens in real time. This creates a perfect scenario for data storage, management and disaster recovery testing.

Advantages of Cloud Computing

Cloud data storage and management has yielded a number of advantages so far. Storage space is one such advantage. Cloud computing provides virtually unlimited storage. The mirror effect is another advantage of storing data in the cloud as it makes data disaster recovery easy. It also incurs reduced costs as no dedicated servers are used. In addition, numerous database management applications can be uploaded and configured. Mobility is also a key advantage as the cloud is easy accessibility from anywhere with an internet connection.

Disadvantages of Cloud Computing

A few disadvantages have cropped up during disaster recovery testing carried out on various scenarios. One such disadvantage is the security of the data. Storing data in a cloud means the data is, in theory, accessible to anyone. Another disadvantage is in the event of some form of calamity, data disaster recovery would be difficult due to the decentralized nature of the server networks. Other issues such as bandwidth requirements, limited features and accountability have also been linked to cloud computing.

Disaster recovery solutions should be a part of any savvy business’s IT program, in the event that there is a crippling data disaster.
