that allows distributed processing for a group of users accessing the same software
application. These systems provide management with control over their data, with
various tools to extract data or view data structures and records. The role of an
information system is to foster a data management environment that is robust and
can be expanded according to an organizations’ strategic plan for information
processing. An information system also satisfies diverse information needs in an
organization.
System Partitioning
The layout of an information system is partitioned according to data security policies,
user access and program applications. The partitioning of the physical hard drives,
memory and storage space related to software applications creates system balance
and effective use of the system Central Processing Unit (CPU). System partitioning
programs, tools and routines keeps the system from overloading, which slows down
system performance. Extra files paged to memory that are not being used can slow
down a customer support system, which relies on timely processing of customer
inquiries. System partitioning is maintained by a process of “preventive maintenance”
which ensures the integrity of system partitioning.
