Make It Real
The Infrastructure Design Framework (IDF) covers the full development life cycle for generic ICT Infrastructure platforms and services. The Infrastructure domain consists of seven Technology Areas: IDF-Server, IDF-Network, IDF-Storage, IDF-Middleware, IDF-Security, IDF-System Management and an overarching area: IDF-Integration. Together these provide the building blocks for all Shared Components of an ICT organization. The Infrastructure Design Framework can de used as a stand-alone method for Infrastructure Solution Development, starting with a requirements capturing phase. The IDF could also be used following an Architecture project using the Integrated Architecture Framework (IAF). In that case the Analysis and High Level Design phases will be significantly shortened. In both cases the Infrastructure Design Framework ends with a working and well operated solution.
In each phase of the development (Plan & Organize, Analysis, High Level Design, Detailed Design, Migration & Implementation Planning, Implementation and Operate) and for each Technology Area the individual IDF modules will provide what our practitioners will do and what output they deliver. Besides that, the IDF is a framework for best practices in each cell, column or row of the IDF matrix, allowing the Infrastructure Engineers to share their best practices. This way the IDF supports the entire Infrastructure Engineering community in delivering excellent solutions quickly.
The IDF provides support for both integral projects, covering all cells (phases and technology areas) as well as for projects with a limited scope.
