Corporate Information Technology
Infrastructure
Infrastructure is the foundation of information systems and applications.
Many large corporations and government agencies have spent hundreds of millions
of dollars to develop and implement their IT infrastructure standards and
procedures. A robust and secure IT infrastructure is not only essential for a
business's daily operations, but also impacts the business as it grows.
CITI is a set of architectural designs, implementation procedures, best
practices documentation, and related administrative software. It has three
portions - the Design, the Implementation, and the Software. The Design sets out
the standards and the goals to be achieved based on the available hardware and
software technologies. The Implementation describes the detailed procedures
using specific hardware and software to implement the design. The Software helps
user to automate the implementation by loading pre-defined implementation
packages, setting up the configurations, and deploying the system / application
automatically. Started in 2006, CITI was developed for the purpose of
standardising and simplifying system deployment and application implementation
with integration and automation in mind from the very beginning. The diagram
below shows the systematical design when CITI was first implemented in the
company.
As our business grows, CITI evolves to accommodate new requirements and
needs. Today, it covers system / application design, deployment, implementation,
management, and monitoring of three major areas of an IT infrastructure -
network and server infrastructure, storage and server virtualization, platform
and application integration.
The current version of CITI, i.e. v1.0, consists of Design 1.0,
Implementation 2.0, and Software 1.0. Design 1.0 is scheduled to be released in
Q4 2009. The Implementation version is 2.0 based on Enterasys's networking
hardware, HP's server and storage hardware, DataCore's storage virtualization
software, VMware's server virtualization software, and Microsoft's application
platform for operating system, identity management, database, unified
communication, collaboration, enterprise content and project management,
business intelligence, application deployment and system management. CITI
Implementation 2.0 is scheduled to be release in Q4 2009 as well. Both the
Design and the Implementation will be available to the public as open source
projects. A stripe down version of Implementation 2.0 using only open source
software and freeware is scheduled to be released in Q2 2010. An extended
version of Implementation 2.0 with support of more vendors is also planned for
release in Q4 2010. The version 1.0 of the Software will be available in Q2 or
Q3 of 2010.
We are currently rolling out the new CITI in our company. Please check out
