Network infrastructure
Network infrastructure is the hardware and software resources of an entire network that enable network connectivity, communication, operations, and management of an enterprise network. It provides the communication path and services between users, processes, applications, and external networks/the internet.
Network infrastructure devices are the components of a network that transport communications needed for data, applications, services, and multi-media.
These devices include routers, firewalls, switches, servers, load-balancers, intrusion detection systems, domain name systems, and storage area networks.
Network Infrastructure is very important because the majority of business operations rely on the functioning of your Network Infrastructure, minimize downtime and ensure that productivity remains as consistent as possible.
