    The key takeaways are that IT infrastructure provides a shared technology platform for firms' information systems applications and includes computing platforms, facilities management, IT management services, and can be viewed as a service platform.

    The components of IT infrastructure include computer hardware platforms, operating system platforms, enterprise software applications, data management and storage, networking/telecommunications platforms, internet platforms, and consulting/system integration services.

    Technology drivers that influence the evolution of IT infrastructure include Moore's Law and increases in microprocessing power, the law of mass digital storage regarding data storage increases each year, and Metcalfe's Law regarding increases in network value as more members join.

    Evolution (1 of 2)
    • Moore’s law and microprocessing power
    – Computing power doubles every 2 years
    – Nanotechnology
    • Law of Mass Digital Storage
    – The amount of data being stored each year doubles
    • Metcalfe’s Law and network economics
    – Value or power of a network grows exponentially as a
    function of the number of network members.
