Keep critical systems dependable as your business grows. Gather workload, availability and security requirements. Review design trade-offs and hand over implementation specifications.
Outdated designs, unclear dependencies and scattered support responsibilities make technology projects harder than they need to be. For Infrastructure Architecture & Solution Design, the work follows a tailored sequence. Gather workload, availability and security requirements. Compare architecture patterns and deployment constraints. Produce logical and physical designs with sizing assumptions. The work is scoped around existing systems, security expectations, change windows and a clear acceptance process.
Who This Service Is For
IT leaders managing on-premises systems, offices, servers or distributed workforces. The initial focus is clear: Gather workload, availability and security requirements. The intended close-out is: Review design trade-offs and hand over implementation specifications.
Challenges We Help Address
- Unclear starting point: Important details may be missed unless the current state and decision requirements are established.
- Execution risk: Planning must address real dependencies: Compare architecture patterns and deployment constraints.
- Uncertain handover: The expected result should be documented and accepted, rather than assumed complete.
What Is Included
- Initial review: Gather workload, availability and security requirements.
- Solution or action planning: Compare architecture patterns and deployment constraints.
- Coordinated execution: Produce logical and physical designs with sizing assumptions.
- Completion and next steps: Review design trade-offs and hand over implementation specifications.
Our Approach
- 01Discover the environment. Gather workload, availability and security requirements.
- 02Design the solution. Compare architecture patterns and deployment constraints.
- 03Deliver in controlled stages. Produce logical and physical designs with sizing assumptions.
- 04Validate and hand over. Review design trade-offs and hand over implementation specifications.
Deliverables & Quality Checks
Intended completion activity: Review design trade-offs and hand over implementation specifications. Supporting records may include approved configurations, testing evidence, architectural or operational records and a support handover, as applicable. The proposal should define acceptance conditions and any work specifically excluded.
Engagement & Dependencies
Available formats may include an assessment, fixed-scope implementation or, where confirmed, a recurring support arrangement. Access permissions, third-party licensing, change windows, ownership and support coverage must be agreed before work begins.
Answers at a glance
Frequently asked questions
Helpful details about scope, preparation and delivery.
What does Infrastructure Architecture & Solution Design include?
The proposed engagement has three key activities. Gather workload, availability and security requirements. Compare architecture patterns and deployment constraints. Produce logical and physical designs with sizing assumptions. The exact deliverables are confirmed before engagement.
What should we prepare for Infrastructure Architecture & Solution Design?
To begin, share current assets or applications, access to relevant owners, existing diagrams or records, business-critical dependencies and preferred change windows. The first step is: Gather workload, availability and security requirements.
How is Infrastructure Architecture & Solution Design reviewed or completed?
The intended completion activity is: Review design trade-offs and hand over implementation specifications. Handover or filing evidence and any open actions are documented to the extent included in the agreed scope.
Can Infrastructure Architecture & Solution Design be tailored to our current setup?
Yes. The scope starts from the existing environment and the operating constraints rather than assuming a standard technology stack. The initial step is: Gather workload, availability and security requirements.
