Information technology is use of hardware, computer processing, software, networks and other supporting infrastructure to create process, store, exchange/transmit and secure data and information. 4H2MSI: Fundamentals of Information Systems Management Computer system: Hardware Information Technology: Hardware IT: Hardware Hardware is a key component of information systems because it provides greater processing power to process large amounts of data using instructions set by people or embedded in software systems. 4H2MSI: Fundamentals of Information Systems Management Information Technology: Hardware Motherboard. This is a printed circuit board that holds the central processing unit (CPU) and other essential internal hardware and functions as the central hub that all other hardware components run through. CPU. The CPU is the brain of the computer that processes and executes digital instructions from various programs; its clock speed determines the computer's performance and efficiency in processing data. RAM. RAM -- or dynamic RAM -- is temporary memory storage that makes information immediately accessible to programs; RAM is volatile memory, so stored data is cleared when the computer powers off. 4H2MSI: Fundamentals of Information Systems Management Information Technology: Hardware Hard Disk Drive (HDD). HDDs are physical storage devices that store both permanent and temporary data in different formats, including programs, OSs, device files, photos, etc. Solid-state drive (SSD). SSDs are based on flash memory technology; SSDs are non-volatile, so they can safely store data even when the computer is powered down. Optical Drive. Optical drives typically reside in an on-device drive bay; they enable the computer to read and interact with nonmagnetic external media, such as compact disc read-only memory or digital video discs. 4H2MSI: Fundamentals of Information Systems Management Information Technology: Hardware Heat Sink. Draws heat away from components to regulate/reduce their temperature. Often installed directly atop the CPU, which produces the most heat among internal components. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). This chip-based device processes graphical data and often as an extension to the main CPU e.g., geometry, pixels, and rendering Network Interface Card (NIC). A NIC is a circuit board that enables the computer to connect to a network; also known as a network adapter or local area network adapter, it typically supports connection to an Ethernet network. 4H2MSI: Fundamentals of Information Systems Management Information Technology: Hardware American Engineer, George Moore Moore’s Law Approximately every two years, technology doubles the total number of transistors that manufacturers can squeeze into an integrated circuit.
