    IT Infrastructure & Emerging TechnologiesRelated image

    The importance of this chapter is to appreciate the role of technology infrastructure in the success of an organization.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Define IT infrastructure and describe its components.
    2. Identify and describe the stages and technology drivers of IT infrastructure evolution.
    3. Assess contemporary computer hardware platform trends.
    4. Assess contemporary software platform trends.
    5. Evaluate the challenges of managing IT infrastructure and management solutions.

    When you mention the phrase “information technology infrastructure,” most people immediately think of just hardware and software. However, there is more to it than just those two. In fact, the most important and often most-ignored component is that of services. Integrating all three components forces a business to think in terms of the value of the whole and not just the parts.

    IT infrastructure truly fits the cliché that “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”

    If you define a firm’s IT infrastructure in terms of technology only  you limit the discussion to the hardware and software components. By broadening the definition to that of service-based, you are then bringing into the discussion the services generated by the first two components. Also, you are including the persware element that we discussed in Chapter 1. 

    The term infrastructure in an information technology (IT) context refers to an enterprise's entire collection of hardware, software, networks, data centers, facilities and related equipment used to:

    1- develop 2- test 3- operate 4- monitor 5- manage and/or 6-support IT services.
