Infrastructure as a Service - Nig Greenaway

More efficient, cheaper infrastructure that can be better controlled and managed

Providing infrastructure as a catalogue of services attacks expensive duplication and complexity in your technology base, cuts the time to deploy new or changed business processes and drives down costs.

The approach is well-proven at the applications level and is readily applicable to infrastructure. New management disciplines will be needed, of course, as well as a greater sense of joint purpose between business and IT. It?s our opinion, however, that the potential for reduced cost and complexity and the improved provisioning of new services demand that we adopt service orientation for infrastructure (SOfI).
