Description: Upgrading physical infrastructure based on other information development improvements is a continuous process.
Objective: Upgrading physical infrastructure related to hardware, network and platforms will provide a means to improve performance, reduce cost and scale to meet new business demands for higher volumes. Physical infrastructure changes can often be implemented reasonably easily, with major benefits to the business. Physical infrastructure changes should always be framed in terms that show business benefits, even if these benefits are non-functional.

Upgrading physical infrastructure shouldn’t just focus on the production environment. There are often major opportunities to improve efficiencies by improving infrastructure in the development and test environments. As even minor improvements in developer efficiency can greatly reduce cost and improve time-to-market, this is an area that should receive considerable focus.

As cost/physical resource assets are continually decreasing, organizations should be intimately aware of changing physical infrastructure costs. There are often significant advantages that can be gained through consolidation or moving off legacy platforms. Infrastructure contracts should be reviewed at least every 6 months.
