IT Infrastructure
IT Infrastructure, Including Servers, Storage, Cloud, Networks, Desktops
Cloud computing has become much more prevalent in recent times. However, most IT infrastructure on campuses today includes a mix of campus-based resources and cloud-based resources. This assessment would include examining the balance of leveraging the cloud vs. maintaining a campus hosted environment. It will also assess central storage deployment, use of virtual servers, virtual desktops, and virtual networks to support the overall infrastructure. Equally important to evaluate is the current population of workstations, how they are deployed and managed and what automation software has been deployed. Finally, since wireless technologies support the mobile, BYOD, and computing anytime anyplace practices, it would be wise to examine the current state of the wireless as well as wired infrastructure.
