Sustainable Enterprise Architecture

Providing guidance that can be applied to an enterprise of any scale, this book supplies IT practitioners with the tools needed to develop an architecture designed for long-term growth and maximum organizational value. Rather than focusing on a single governance framework, the text explains how to develop successful and sustainable enterprise deployments in any setting. Coverage includes general security practices, common threats, storage mechanisms, and the impact of virtualization. The author presents functional considerations for developing and maintaining extended enterprise networks using practices tested in large scale enterprise settings.
