Infrastructure Architecture
Architecture is the discipline of addressing business needs with people, process, and technology. There are various perspectives or
kinds of architecture, including business architecture, enterprise architecture, data architecture, application architecture, and
infrastructure or technical architecture.
Enterprise Architects view the business as a whole and provides specifications to solution architects. Solution architects are
generally focused on developing software based solutions to problems, within the scope provided by the enterprise architect.
Our Infrastructure Architects take the requirements and constraints defined by the enterprise architect, collaborate with the
solutions architect, and design the supporting environment for the solution defined by the solutions architect. We do this by
specifying a top level design for a given solution, while adhering to a given set of constraints specified by the enterprise
architect and the solution architect.
