3. Objectives
• IT took place as a core part of running a
business of an Enterprise

any disaster on IT Infrastructure

maximize the benefit of IT with in the
organization and reduce the risk of business
interruption due to IT system failure

4. Modern IT for an Enterprise
• Computer was used in the enterprise only as a
type writer machine
• Now Enterprises are adopting lots of modern IT
based Business process automation technologies
to reduce the processing time, operation cost and
increase efficiency.
• Internet based communications like Email, Web
Conferencing, Video Conferencing, IM etc. are
plying the main stream role in business
communication.
• Digital Marketing techniques also included in core
marketing strategy over the traditional one.

5. Challenges for Enterprises IT
Environment
• From last few years most enterprises are trying to automated their
operation very aggressively. Like separate Accounting, HR,
Employee Attendance, etc. But most of the solutions or software
are standalone and was built ad hoc basis.
• Not have enough preparation for any kinds of disaster.
• Network is not also well structured to meet the future needs. The
organization was used 10 mbps internet now is using 200 mbps or
more than that.
• To provide Wi-Fi access to employee or management unstructured
Wi-Fi network has been established now its become a IT headache
to manage it.
• Management thought IT as a cost center, no revenue or return is
coming on that investment.
• Yearly IT budget reduced to minimize the operational cost.
• Enterprise can’t set next five years IT development plan.

6. Stacking the Scattered IT Environment
• Due to the aggressiveness some time few
scattered environment has been established.
• Now its time to Stacking the existing IT
Environment in a well structured manner to
mitigate the up coming challenge of upcoming
IT needs.

7. Design an Integrated and Flexible
Solution as per Needs basis
• Whenever we are talking about IT environment for any enterprise
first of all we invest a huge amount to built a Data Center but the
we easily could get that service form any co-location provider
• When we need to host an application like web apps even for 5-20
users we go to purchase a high end server with 2-5 lacs taka
• I have seen few organization who have 8-10 separate database
server. But there was no performance optimization done. With
some basic tuning could host all of those10 application’s databases
one a single database server
• Adopting server virtualization also can reduce a huge amount of
server costing

8. Design an Integrated and Flexible
Solution as per Needs basis Cont..
• Cloud adoption is also a very prospective scoop to built a
flexible solutions
• When we can forecast long term like 5 years IT development
plan it can help to design an Integrated Platform
• System or Platform should have flexibility to increase up to a
certain level when its required.
• To keep our job secure, need to maintain a standard level of
backup and disaster recovery policy in place.
