Document Summary
The shared technology resources that provide the platform for the rm"s speci c information system applications. Includes investment in hardware, software, and services, such as consulting, education, and training. Set of physical devices and software required to operate enterprise. Technology drivers of infrastructure evolution: moore"s law and microprocessing power, the law of mass digital storage, metcalfe"s law and network, declining communications cost and the internet, standards and network effects. The power of microprocessors doubles every 18 months. The price of computing falls by half every month. The amount of digital information is roughly doubling every year. The cost of storage is falling at an exponential rate of 100 percent per year. The value of a network grows exponentially as a function of the number of network members. One reason growth in internet population is the rapid decline in internet connection and overall communication costs. Client machines (eg. desktops, laptops, and pdas)
