Core Infrastructure Optimization

The goal of infrastructure optimization (IO) is to build an efficient, secure, and optimized information technology (IT) infrastructure in a logical sequence. An optimized IT infrastructure is built upon IT standards and ensures conformation to those standards. An improvement to the IT infrastructure at each level of optimization brings about significant cost reduction, increased security, and improved availability and manageability. Core IO focuses on the foundational elements of IT services and components. It prescribes capabilities in a logical sequence to help organizations advance up the levels at a measurable and achievable pace.
