Some largest companies in the world like IBM, APPLE, DELL, Microsoft etc these companies have their own websites which give you a wide support services and hardware sales in many ways to their customer for the product they sale.
Current trend in computer hardware and software platforms:
The word platform mean is a track or the simply meaning in the computer language is that platform on which we lunch software. There are only three computing platforms, operating system, hardware and the software framework. Basically a platform is providing the track for anything, today world is the technology world, and there is a lot of faster and cheaper software and the hardware in the market. Current trend in the computer hardware and software development identified in the a couple of years, increasing software costs, increasing software independence and also user empowerment through new software technologies, small computer system life cycles and to increase rapid development and support of pharmaceutical services. Current trend in the computer hardware and the software is also establish to reduce the instruction set computing and also developed the large software libraries.
Current trend in the hardware, the people always prefer the faster hardware, cheaper and also prefer the light weight hardware. Apple and many other companies also introduce the light weight and cheaper hardware into the market.

Evolving mobile platform:
Mobile in the today world is most rapid technology in the world, there are almost 3.6 billion people which used the mobile devices. Mobile marketing is become an essential part of any brand’s overall marketing strategy. Mobile services such as SMS alerts and SMS marketing are in the common use and are helping companies to communicate directly with their customer.

These innovative technology and creative use of these technologies are taking leading brands into a whole new direct relationship with their customers.
There is a lot of software introduce in the mobile, and also refer to hardware and software environment for the smart phone and handled device. iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile are like mini laptop example of mobile platform. Internet, messengers also introduce in the mobile technology mobile platform also include the Microsoft window phone 7, Microsoft window phone, Google Inc.
Grid computing:
The grid computer is basically to connect different combination of computer resources from a different or multiple administrative domains to reach the common goals. Mostly grid computer can be used for the specialized application and the grid computer used for the a variety of different purpose.
Or
Grid computer is a interconnected computer system, it manage the same resources, basically grid computer is the main computer that distribute the information and tasks to different group network to accomplish a common goals, it mostly used in the in mathematical and scientific calculations. Therefore grid computing is totally work independent problem. Grid computing is also called distributed computing because it attach with one grid and provide the information to many different systems.
Comparison of Grid and Supercomputer:
Grid computer also called distributed computer that relies on the complete computer like onboard CPU, storage, power supply, and the network interface etc, connected to a network of private, public, or the internet. Router is also like grid computer because there is a different computer attach with the internet router. At a time more than one computer attach with the router and also serve the internet facilities.
The primary advantage of the grid computer is that every node is bought as a commodity hardware, when it combine , it can be produce a similar computing resources as multiprocessor computer at a lower cost. The primary disadvantage is that, different processor and the local storage areas have not high speed connections. This type of networking is suited in those areas where multiple parallel computations can take place independently.
Several corporation and some professional groups or universities is developing framework and the software for managing grid computing projects. In the Europe companies or groups is sponsoring a project for a grid for high energy physics and the earth observation and the last is the biology application.
Cloud computing:
A technology that use the internet and the central remote servers to maintain the application and the data. Therefore cloud computing refers to their consumers and business to use the application without installation, and you have the free access their personal files at any computer with the internet access.

Segment of cloud computing, Cloud computing broken down into three segments, application, Platforms, Infrastructure. Cloud computing affect many different internet and the software companies and also hardware manufacturer like yahoo, Amazon, Microsoft, Google etc.
The servers layers of cloud computing is the computer hardware and the software products that are specifically designed for the delivery of cloud computing services, including specific operating system and also multi-core processors.
Using specific examples/organisations, describe how network economics, declining communication costs and technology standards affect IT infrastructure?
Firstly the network economies define the concept of the business economics that benefit from the network economics. This is happen when the value of the goods and services increase and others buy the same good or the services. Example of the network economics is the EBay or iVillage where the community comes together and also shares their thoughts and ideas to help the website to become a better business organization.
Network economics refer to many business to work together to develop sustainable product and the technologies and mostly the companies are involved in the environment friendly and the easier and the cheaper products and technologies. Another benefit of the network economics in a certain field is improvements that result from competition and networking within an industry. EBay is the main example of the network economics. Value or power of the network grows exponentially as a function of the number of network members. A network member’s increase, more people want to use it and it also increases the demand for the network access.
In the recent years, information technology and the network have merged to create companies with characteristics quite different from their production base counterparts.
Latest technology has always the greatest impact than the oldest one.

Largest international and the multinational companies such as IBM, DELL sell their newest product and offer services on eBay using competitive auction and the fixed price store-front. EBay work many countries and therefore in the UK eBay or the US eBay it allows the customer to buy the product their local currency. Applications are created by the software developer that integrated with the eBay through the eBay API by joining the eBay developer program. In 2005 there is a lot of members of the eBay software developer program, comprising a board range of companies creating software application to support the eBay buyers and the sellers as well as eBay Affiliates. On other occasions, people and even entire towns have been listed, often as a joke or to garner free publicity, in simple term the company removes the auction that violate its item of services agreement.
A number of specialty sites like eBay pulse provide the information about popular search terms, trends, and most watched items, and the other eBay content includes the community centre, cha room and reviews and guides. eBay also has a robust mobile offering it include the SMS and also have WAP site Java ME clients, and Apple iPhone application available in the certain market. According to the economic point of view eBay is the huge internet, publicly visible market. It has created the great deal of interest from economists, who has to analyze the buying and the selling behaviour auction formats and compare with the previous findings. EBay acquired Skype in 2005 and expand its customer to more than 480 million registered user in nearly every country on the earth. Through Skype you can call anywhere in the world if you have the internet connection and other messenger like yahoo and MSN also you can chat with your friends and family. IT greatest impact on the world and in the every type of the business. Mostly large and the well established organization firm lead in the market through the use of the latest technology. Through latest technology it reduces the communication or you can say that communication cost is remaining zero percent.
At the end we conclude our discussion on the IT infrastructure, IT system is necessary in any type of the industry, organization, or in the small retail business. Latest technologies create more safe and sound system in the future. Information technology is play a important role i the every type of the business. Mostly companies have the competitive edge over their competitors.
