IT architecture
Infrastructure design is about Functionality, Quality, knowledge and insight.
The success of a project / design is determined by:
• Strategic alignment with the business
• Stakeholder analysis
, Designing is the process of taking decisions / making choices, from global scope to detail scope, to
define the elements of a system to be build.

Infrastructure Architecture definition
=
Infrastructure architecture is the complete, consistent and coherent set of methods,
rules, models and tools which guides the (re)design, migration and implementation of
the technical infrastructure of an organization according to a vision.
Notice the word “guides” in the definition above: it expresses how architecture itself does not create
technical designs, it rather aims to frame the infrastructure design space. It is the task of the
infrastructure architects to coordinate all infrastructure creation and adaptation processes in the
organization, while the designers do the actual designing within the scope of their own project.
A successful organization must have:
• Adequate business processes with stakeholders
• Efficient Information management
• Customized applications
• Proper infrastructure foundations
IT Architecture, what is it? (tangible)
A set of documents about the IT landscape containing:
• Principles
• Rules
• Models
• Overviews
• Viewpoints
• Tools………………Written in a standardized language
