The speed of processing, controllability and safety of business information that applications store, process and transmit over information-computer networks depends to a great extent on the productivity, controllability and safety of the information system (IS) infrastructure.

Try to answer the following questions:

  • To what extent your IT infrastructure is ready for implementation of novel business applications and systems or widening of already existing ones?
  • Is it possible to increase the speed of operation of one or another business application by optimizing the IT infrastructure?
  • How easily intruders can obtain confidential business data or other information on the enterprise and its information system?
  • What mechanisms withstand non-sanctioned influences on the network devices and other resources?
  • How optimal is the utilization of the existing IT infrastructure components and are there reserves for growth?
  • What should be done in order to increase the IT infrastructure operation at minimum financial cost?
  • In what places of the IT infrastructure one can expect failures in the nearest future?
  • What is done to increase the reliability of the IS infrastructure functioning?

Answers to these and other questions can be obtained only on the basis of precise and objective data on the current state of the IS infrastructure. It is sad, but far from all organizations have documents describing the components of the IS infrastructure, to say nothing of the documents timely updated with changes made. The required information is collected and analyzed in the course of the network infrastructure audit investigation).

The aims of the audit of optimization of the network infrastructure and business productivity infrastructure optimization (BPIO) are:

  • Providing the company management with documentarily confirmed information on the current state of the IS infrastructure; for example, when planning the implementation of new business propositions, systems of document flow in particular;
  • Informing the company management on the risks connected with problem “zones” of the infrastructure subsystems, providing recommendations on lowering the risks and increasing the quality of functioning of the infrastructure subsystems.

As a rule, the audit of the network infrastructure includes two main stages:

  • Collecting and documenting the data on infrastructure subsystems (passive and active network equipment, servers, storages, etc.);
  • Analyzing the collected information and developing recommendations on the subsystems improvement basing on the conclusions obtained in the course of analytical work.
