From The Ground Up: Understanding the Importance of IT Infrastructure Design

Written by Mindy Gallagher | Feb 15, 2021 5:00:00 AM

IT infrastructure is the combination of hardware software and services that are required to run and maintain the IT environment for your business.

If you want your IT system to be efficient and secure then you need more than just a few servers and some networking cables. You need a well-thought-out IT infrastructure design.

Why is it so important to have a solid IT infrastructure? 

Read on as we take a look at some of the key reasons.

Protection From Attacks

In 2018 cybercrime in the US cost more than $27 million and cases are only increasing.

If you want to protect your business from this risk then you need a well-planned IT infrastructure. Just cobbling things together leaves you severely at risk of attack. 

You need to ensure that the right safety protocols are in place and this means building them into your infrastructure from the ground up.

Remote Working

The global pandemic has changed the way that we work possibly for good.

More and more people have discovered the benefits of working from home and many will want to continue to do so. Remote working means you need a robust IT infrastructure in order so that your employees can access all the information they need and complete their work from home without any issues.

Your IT infrastructure probably wasn't designed with remote working in mind; now is the time to change that.

Disaster Recovery

Malware is just one way that your data can be put at risk.

If the worst happens you want an IT infrastructure design that allows you to restore any data that has been lost and get your business back up and running with the minimum disruption possible.

If you don't have a coherent IT infrastructure design then disaster recovery is going to be chaotic at best. Disaster can take many forms from corrupted data to fire or floods so you need to plan for every eventuality.

Improved Performance

Last but not least one of the biggest benefits of high-quality IT infrastructure design is that it can help your business to be more efficient which will only help your bottom line.

A sprawling infrastructure that has grown randomly over time is going to lead to a system that is frustratingly slow and cumbersome. The beauty of a good IT infrastructure is that it is designed with your growth in mind so that as your business grows your IT systems can grow with you.

That way you won't be held back by a system that's just not suitable for your needs anymore.
