Information Infrastructure

Academic Initiative program

An information infrastructure is comprised of software, servers, storage, and networks, which are integrated and optimized to deliver timely, secure, and trusted information throughout an organization and to its customers and partners. Courses on Information Infrastructure are an important component of IT and Computer Science curricula.

Learn about information infrastructure

With the explosive growth in data and information — coupled with demands for projects with rapid ROI (return-on-investment) — IT infrastructures and storage administrators are reaching a breaking point. The provider of the information infrastructure can help with the changes needed to manage information availability, security, regulatory, and compliance requirements on a tighter budget. And, because the health of any business often depends on its ability to take advantage of information in real time, a sound, intelligent information infrastructure becomes critical in supporting new growth initiatives.

Key elements of information infrastructure solutions

The state-of-the-art, dynamic information infrastructure is an innovative approach to managing information growth more effectively and mitigating risks while, at the same time, efficiently and securely storing and protecting information and optimizing its access. Such an infrastructure will enable an organization to control, protect, manage and gain new intelligence from its information and provide improved productivity, service delivery and reduced risk while streamlining costs.
