IT Infrastructure:

All the components that are installed or implemented

in a company to provide IT services.

The main purpose of it infrastructure is to support the

organization goals and through efficient and effective
information system.

E:g: Hardware, Software Networking Operating

System etc.
Components of IT
Infrastructure:
1. Computer hardware platforms

2. Operating system platforms

3. Enterprise software applications

4. Data management and storage

5. Networking/telecommunications platforms

6. Internet platforms

7. Consulting system integration services

Computer Hardware Platform:

Client machines: like laptop, mobile devices and cameras etc.

These are used for special purpose in business or in any

company.

Servers: Blade Servers: Latest and most advanced type of

servers. They are smaller in size and have maximum storage.

Mainframe: Use to handle large quantities of data and huge

volume of transaction.
Operating System Platform:
 An Operating system is a software that manages the functioning of all

the other applications after being loaded on a computer. It also acts as

an interface for the user. Every computer must have at least one OS in

order to function.

 OS platforms such as Windows, and servers like Linux are used by the

employees and other personnel in the company for communication,

storage, and access of data.

 For Example: Microsoft Windows, Apple iOS, Linux Operating

system.
Enterprise Application Software:

Enterprise Application is a large-scale software that helps solve the problems

of the entire organization. They include software such as middleware, Oracle,

and People soft. Other applications in the company used to link all the other

applications also fall into this category.

For Example:

 Costumer Relationship Management (CRM)

 Email Marketing System

Data Management and storage
 Data management is handled by software and stores in storage devices.
Nowadays, data storage has evolved as the need to access it easily, backing up,
and restoring data grows.

 Traditional Storage: In this type of storage, data is stored in computers or

servers and you can access it through LAN/WAN. Information is stored on
disks which are easy to reformat when needed.

 Cloud Storage: In this type, data is stored in third-party servers on the cloud. It
can be accessed anytime from anywhere by even multiple users at the same
time. However, in case the system is down and the back-up provided also fails,
there’s no other way to access it. Additionally, It’s more insecure compared to
traditional storage.
 Networking Telecommunication
Platform
 Networking platforms include Windows server OS, Linux, Unix, among others.
Telecommunication platforms are provided by telecommunication service
companies which provide data connectivity, internet access, voice, and wired
area network.

 In the company, these infrastructures include telephones, cables, mobile

technology such as 5G, and networking infrastructure like networking hardware,
software, facilities, and services.

 For Example:

 Mobile Network

 Cable TV Network

 Internet
Internet Platform:
The term internet platform has been used to describe a range of services

available on the internet including marketplaces, search engines, social

media, creative content outlets, app stores, communication services,

payment system etc.

Internet act as a collaboration platform as you can send and receive

messages emails and you can chat with other person.

You can also make online calls and video conferring with other fellows.
Internet Platform (Cont.)

E:G:

 Google

 Facebook

 Twitter

 Skype
Consulting and Integrative system:
Companies continue using their old system since replacing them is very
expensive. If they can work perfectly with the new infrastructure then
there’s no need to replace them. They hire consulting and system integration
services so that they can find the best way to match the two infrastructures
according to the business process.

The business of consulting and system integration is lucrative for enterprise

software company like IBM who apart from providing hardware, also offer
the services.
Conclusion:
All the components of IT infrastructure depend on each other to keep your

business running. The software cannot function without hardware which is

also almost useless without a network and internet connection. Also

important are the people who operate these infrastructures to keep them

working.
