What is Infrastructure?
The term IT infrastructure
is defined in ITIL v4 as “the
physical and/or virtual
technology resources, such
as servers, storage,
networks, client hardware,
middleware, and operating
systems software, that
provide the environments
needed to deliver IT
services.”

Challenges of
Infrastructure
Projects
• Change from an existing
environment to a new environment:
– Upgrade
– Migration
• Real time
– Incomplete (if any) staging / test environment
– In-flight work
– One man’s blip is another man’s eternity
• Timing
• Follow up
– Material salvage
– CMDB updates
What Network
Infrastructure Projects
Really Do
• Secure corporate assets
• Connect Devices
• Provide Layer 1 on Floor
• Cables
• Access Points
• Wireless cards
• Build technology rooms
• Powered
• Water Remediated
• Install Switches
• Connect Switches
• Protect Network
• Take network outside of building to other
networks
• Private
• Internet
• Secured
• Provide tools to monitor network
Network Components are
Installed, Protected, and
Available
Technology Rooms
• Standard supportable technology rooms
• Dedicated high availability electric
• Dedicated HVAC
• Low environmental risk
• Capacity for growth
• Standard supportable network hardware
• Reduced Operating Cost
From this
To this
The Little Things that are Big
Deploy the right system that is standardized
across the organization.
• Data Cabling using Cat5e, Cat6, CAT6a and
Fiber
• Wall & Rack Mount Cabinets
• Hubs, Patch Panels, & Network Switches
• Municipal overhead cabling
Other Things
• Power diversity
• Cable tension (no banjo strings)
• Air flow
CMDB Configuration Management Data Base
contains all relevant
information about the
hardware and
software components
used in an
organization's IT
services and the
relationships between
those components.
It’s Not Just Data
•Unified Messaging
•Voice
–Phone on desktop
–Forward central phone to
mobile
•Conference Rooms
–Video Conference Calls
–Integrated Meeting
Capabilities
•Instant Messaging
Legacy Challenges
• Physically is usually more expensive
• Total Cost of Ownership
Expensive to rebuild infrastructure.
Sustainability
Pay for the sins of years of “quick fixes”.
• Server level
• Throughput / Capacity
Approved technology
Remote access and control
Hospital Stakeholders
• Support teams
• Local facilities
• Architect
• Suppliers
• Telecom Provider
• Power consultant
• Construction Team
• Telecom Team
• Local cabling
• Rack / Equipment Install
• Wireless Access Points
Function
• Merger of social and
professional networks
• Privacy
• Isolating infrastructure on
the web.
–VPNs
–Other technologies
• Mobility and terrestrial
Infrastructure
Projects usually
involves making sure
things talk to each
other – not value
add for what is
connecting….
But that is changing!
Services to the Patient
Bed
• Monitoring
• Services
• Food

Medical IoT – Explosive Growth
Security
•Patient Health
Information
•Login / Identity Validation
–Multi Factor Identity
• Key Cards
• Biometric
– Remote
– Access to resources
•Data Encryption
•Image distribution
Change Approval Model
A change model is a repeatable way
of dealing with a particular category
of change. A change model defines
specific pre-defined steps that will be
followed for type of change. Change
models might be quite simple (e.g.,
deploy MS Visio) or very complicated
(e.g., software release).
The I.S. Red Rule
I will implement changes to production
environments only after appropriate
approvals, testing, documentation,
communication, and enacting monitoring
plans.
Willful disregard of the Red Rule is
grounds for termination.
Transition Planning & Support
Transition Planning and Support plans and coordinates
the resources to ensure that the requirements of Service
Strategy encoded in Service Design are effectively
realized in Service Operations
• Plans appropriate capacity and resources for a release
• Provides support for Service Transition teams and
people
• Plans changes required to ensure the integrity of
customer assets, service assets and configurations
• Ensures Service Transition issues, risks, and
deviations are reported to appropriate stakeholders /
decision makers
• Ensures the adoption of a common framework to
improve integration planning and coordination activities
