Paper Assignment
Length: 7 to 10 pages.
The portfolio project is a 3 part activity. You will respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one research paper. Be sure to include at least one UC library source per prompt, in addition to your textbook (which means you'll have at least 4 scholarly sources cited).
Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.
o Prompt 1 "Data Warehouse Architecture" (2 to 3 pages): Explain the major components of a data warehouse architecture, including the various forms of data transformations needed to prepare data for a data warehouse. Also, describe in your own words current key trends in data warehousing.
o Prompt 2 "Big Data" (1 to 2 pages): Describe your understanding of big data and give an example of how you've seen big data used either personally or professionally. In your view, what demands is big data placing on organizations and data management technology?
o Prompt 3 "Green Computing" (1 to 2 pages): One of our topics in Chapter 13 surrounds IT Green Computing. The need for green computing is becoming more obvious considering the amount of power needed to drive our computers, servers, routers, switches, and data centers. Discuss ways in which organizations can make their data centers "green". In your discussion, find an example of an organization that has already implemented IT green computing strategies successfully. Discuss that organization and share your link. You can find examples in the UC Library.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
o The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
o The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
o Also include a reference page. The Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
