The Infrastructure Optimization Models
Microsoft has established three Infrastructure Optimization Models to guide customers to achieve Dynamic IT. These models help you better understand your organization's current IT capabilities, and guide you through the steps to take each capability from the Basic stage to Dynamic.
Application Platform:
Investments to connect users to the data they need, systems they want, and the tools to build solutions.
Long-Term Dynamic IT Investments
Dynamic IT guides our long-term research & development efforts at Microsoft. We are focused on delivering integrated solutions and are investing heavily in several long-term scenarios that span across infrastructure, applications, and business processes. We see these scenarios playing a major, transformative role in IT over the next 5 years:
Virtualization
Helping free IT departments from the constraints of physical hardware, and moving to a logically based, well managed environment. We see virtualization as a key enabler of Dynamic IT, which ultimately will help IT become more agile, as business requests are quickly executed and costs are reduced.
Process-led and Model-driven operations and applications
By leveraging models, IT can manage by policy and thus automate systems maintenance. By improving operational processes, the IT department can optimize resources and drive quality delivery at faster speed-to-solution. IT can get out of the break-fix-repeat cycle and instead focus on activities that drive more differentiation for the business.
Service-enabled applications and architecture
IT pros and developers can take advantage of services – on premise, hosted or cloud based – to create new application scenarios and build applications that differentiate the business. Application development can be driven more rapidly, and applications can take on new scenarios quickly and easily.
User-focused platforms and end-user tools
Microsoft invests heavily in ensuring that its platforms, tools and applications are highly usable – software that's intuitive and easy to use is key to getting value and ROI.
