Infrastructure / Architecture
Even the best applications cannot deliver value unless they are deployed in an environment that is safe, secure, and scalable. Without having these elements in place, you could be facing serious risks including:
- Data loss
- Security breaches
- Unacceptable application performance
- Lack of application availability
- Inability to meet business requirements
- Being "trapped" without an affordable upgrade path
- Inability to react to changes in usage patterns
- Dramatic increases in maintenance costs as hardware ages
- Inability to take advantage of new alternatives for infrastructure hosting
DCG can help your organization minimize these risks by taking a proactive approach to the design of your IT architecture and environments. To minimize these risks application design, application architecture and infrastructure planning need to be delivered cohesively, with a common long-term vision. This approach will maximize the efficiency and flexibility and result in a less expensive and an easier to maintain application environment.
