For any organisation, the applications play a major role in
the overall organisational efficiency. If the infrastructure
has been setup without much analysis on the gain it could
achieve & the relational improvement in efficiency, all
investments could be felt to be an ‘Burden’ to
the organisation. Also having put up an infrastructure without
appropriate Capacity Planning could result in serious ‘Operational
Nightmares’ wherein users do not want to use the Application
due to the inefficient manner (typically response issues)
in which the application is functioning resulting in Employee/
User frustration.
To ensure the architecting is appropriately done, the approach
we go with is :-
Understanding briefly the application
Understanding the usage pattern [arriving on clarity
on the usage pattern userwise – viz. heavy, medium,
low]
Understanding the resource needs
Sizing the Computing infrastructure
Identifying the appropriate platform/ technology
CISC/ RISC
Windows/ Unix flavour
Architecting the appropriate architecture
Multi-tier
Server based/ thin computing
Factors of High Availability
Clustering
RAID technology
Fail over
Load balancing
High performance computing
Linux based clusters for high computing power
using Workload Scheduling technologies
