Ghost Servers in Data Centers
No full textAbstract: This article examines the value of researching ghost servers in data centers and offers details on the effects, detection methods, and mitigation techniques related to these unused or underutilized servers. Ghost servers, which use resources without producing anything, have grown to be a problem in data center settings, resulting in higher energy use, resource waste, and financial repercussions. The introduction defines ghost servers and explores their causes, which include outmoded management techniques, ineffective resource management, and server sprawl. Due to its negative consequences on energy efficiency, cost reduction, and environmental sustainability, it emphasizes the need to address this issue. The report exposes the detrimental effects of ghost servers, including increased energy consumption, an increased carbon footprint, and ineffective resource allocation, through thorough research and analysis. It also explores the financial ramifications, highlighting the higher power expenses and inefficient resource use that come with operating phantom servers. The study discusses several detection and mitigation techniques, such as data analysis, server monitoring software, and server consolidation, to address this issue. It covers the difficulties in effectively identifying ghost servers and investigates the top solutions, including workload consolidation, virtualization, and server retirement rules. This research article concludes by highlighting the significance of researching and addressing ghost servers in data centres in order to increase energy efficiency, lower costs, and support sustainable practices.
Keywords: ghost servers, data centres, sustainability, detection methods.

The Theory of Infoledge: A Logical Mathematical and Geometrical Interpretation
No full textThis paper presents a logical, mathematical and geometrical interpretation of the previously presented term, infoledge. There is a strong relationship between the infoledge concept and complex numbers, which is utilized by the researchers in the mathematical interpretation of the infoledge concept. Autopoietic theory skeleton is the starting point in the current paper. Further more, the physical concepts, namely, kinematics and dynamics are introduced utilizing the cognition based concepts and certain concepts like domain and space. The current interpretation is expected to help in knowledge transfer simulation, cognition and recognition, artificial intelligence developing tools efforts. It is expected that the findings will enhance the relevant literature and applications.</jats:p
Risk Determinants and Investment Decisions: An Explanatory Study
No full textThis research suggest a general framework to help understating Jordanian investors’ disposition towards risk orientation, where risk attributes is a fundamental issue in creating monetary choices. This research examines various financial risk tolerance and investment orientation of investors in Jordan, where this study investigate whether demographic factors influence the financial risk tolerance and investment orientations. The research utilizes a randomly selected sample of 106 individual investors trading in the financial market of Jordan. The findings of the statistical analysis has confirmed that a high average risk orientation is related with higher income level and higher education level. The empirical investigation have had revealed that the demographic variables that have a substantial influence on investor’s risk orientations are income level, Age, and education level. Keywords: Risk attributes, financial decisions, investment choices, path analysis, PLS methods
Information Technology and Knowledge Enabling Factors: an Empirical Investigation Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis

An integration of information technology, culture of knowledge transfer and innovative work environment in support of organisationsal knowledge creation activities
No full textKnowledge management and knowledge creation is recognized to be of supreme
importance to the competitive advantage of organisations as well as a major agent of
change in the new era of the knowledge economy. This study empirically examines
knowledge creation activities in the context of the banking industry. It extends the
work of Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995) and others on the theory of organisation
knowledge creation by introducing the information technology infrastructure as an
enabler of knowledge creation condition (ITISKCFs), accompanied by the culture and
infrastructure of knowledge transfer. The research questions asked are: 'What are the
characteristics of an IT infrastructure that enhance the knowledge enabling conditions,
whether IT infrastructure capability can be define for knowledge creation? and 'What
are the shared effects of the culture (CKT) and the infrastructure of knowledge
transfer (IKT) when combined with IT infrastructure on knowledge creation
activities?' A positivistic approach is adapted using quantitative data. A survey
aimed at the middle managers of the financial services industry population was
conducted in an effort to investigate the knowledge creation activities and to examine
the relationship of knowledge enabling factors to the time spent on knowledge
creation activities. Theoretical developments on organisational knowledge creation
and knowledge enablers are presented and discussed. A conceptual framework is
developed based on the theory and hypotheses which were generated. Variables of
the research model are operationalised using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and
the data are analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM). The results of the
data analysis suggested that ITISKCFs support the activities of tacit to tacit, explicit
to tacit and explicit to explicit knowledge transfer, thus leading to the creation
sympathised, systemic and operational knowledge. While ITISKCFs fail to support
the activities of tacit to explicit transfer and, hence, failing to support the creation of
conceptual knowledge. CKT is a significant enabler of the activities aimed at explicit
to explicit and explicit to tacit knowledge transfer. IKT have failed to support the
activity of tacit to tacit, tacit to explicit transfer, and only one element of IIKT (IIKTK&
S) was a significant enabler of explicit to tacit, thus unable to support the creation
of sympathised, conceptual knowledge and partially supported operational
knowledge. While CKT fail to support the tacit to tacit transfer and, hence, the
creation of sympathised knowledge, it was the only enabler of the conceptual
knowledge; however, the statistical test suggested a significant but weak relationship

Enhancing BI Systems Application Through the Integration of IT Governance and Knowledge Capabilities of the Organization
No full textOver years, research in Management Information Systems (MIS) has resulted in significant implications for organizations in a wide variety of areas by using socio-technical perspective, which has helped to deliver more business focused solutions. This study reports the results of an empirical examination of the effect of IT governance framework based on COBIT and Organizational Knowledge Pillars in enhancing the IT Governance framework (Business / IT Strategic alignment, Business value delivery, risk management, Resource management, performance measurement) to enhance the business intelligence application and usability within the organization. Quantitative method is adopted for answering the research questions. A questionnaire was used for data collection after contacting several companies, in addition confirmatory factor model and structural equation model were developed and tested and the overall results of the empirical investigation supported the general framework. Using confirmatory factor analysis techniques, the effects of the combination between IT governance factors seen by ITGI and organizational knowledge pillars of the firm on BI Systems application in it were tested and confirmed and the models were also verified. Several statistical methods were used for data analysis; moreover different statistical tools as software packages were employed such as SPSS 17 and EQS 6.1. The study proposes that knowledge management (KM) and IT Governance framework are vital organizational abilities that support business intelligence application; it also observes that combination of IT governance framework with organizational knowledge within the firm can enhance the organization’s BI system application and usability, and its goal is to advance the understanding of the relationships among these factors. The study develops and tested two main hypothesizes: (1) IT Governance framework supports business intelligence application. (2) Organizational knowledge, in turn, leads to support business intelligence application.</jats:p
