The key components of modern IT infrastructure include several essential elements that ensure smooth operations
On-prem data centers
These offer compa nies’ greater control over security, governance, and system performance. Many businesses opt to own and manage their data centers due to specific application requirements that may not be compatible with cloud-based systems.
Hybrid/multi-cloud environments
These provide flexible, on-demand IT resources to users anytime, anywhere. Leveraging innovations from providers like Microsoft Azure, AWS, or Google, they combine the benefits of private and public cloud solutions.
1. Hybrid clouds integrate both private and public cloud systems.
2. Multi-cloud environments involve multiple clouds of the same type, sourced from various service providers.
3. A hybrid/multi-cloud setup blends the strengths of both hybrid and multi-cloud approaches.
Digital workplace applications and technologies
These tools support modern hybrid work environments, alongside scalable database platforms that ensure immediate access to critical data.
Enterprise networks
Serving as the backbone that connects all components, modern infrastructures should incorporate technologies like software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN) and/or 5G to enhance connectivity and performance.
