This PPT slide, part of the 32-slide FEAF: Infrastructure Reference Model (IRM) PowerPoint presentation, presents an overview of the interconnections among the 3 domains of the Infrastructure Reference Model (IRM): Platform, Network, and Facility. Each domain plays a critical role in the overall IT infrastructure, and their interconnectedness is essential for effective analysis of IT assets across these dimensions.
The Platform domain encompasses components such as hardware, operating systems, and virtualization. It serves as the foundation for carrying traffic generated by and for the network. This indicates that the platform is not just a standalone entity, but is integral to the functioning of the network.
The Network domain is depicted as a communication hub that facilitates connections between various instances of technology. It is linked to the Facility domain, which provides the physical environment necessary for the operation of both the platform and network. The Facility domain is characterized by its geographic location and operational control, emphasizing the importance of physical infrastructure in supporting IT operations.
The relationships among these domains are illustrated through arrows that indicate how they interact. For instance, the network communicates across different transmission types and infrastructure, highlighting the complexity of modern IT environments.
The slide concludes with a statement on how the implementation of the IRM supports efficient acquisition and positioning, which is crucial for enhancing access to information throughout an enterprise. This suggests that understanding these interconnections can lead to better strategic decisions regarding IT investments and resource allocation. The insights provided here are valuable for organizations looking to optimize their IT infrastructure.
