NE&S / INFRASTRUCTURE
A stronger
technical foundation.
Servers, storage, virtualization, and power protection considered as parts of one environment.
Fit the infrastructure to the work.
Server installation, consolidation, and capacity planning begin with the applications and people the environment needs to support.
Use resources deliberately.
Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization can support server consolidation and recovery planning. The appropriate design depends on the needs of the environment.
Account for the supporting systems.
Storage, networking, and power protection all affect dependable operation. Infrastructure planning considers those dependencies alongside performance and recovery needs.
Practical to operate over time.
Whether local, cloud-connected, or hybrid, an infrastructure plan should account for the work it must support, its maintenance requirements, and how the organization will recover from interruptions.
