IT Infrastructure Architecture Quotes

“The word infrastructure originates from the words infra (meaning beneath) and structure. It encompasses all components that are available “beneath the structure”, were the structure can be for instance a city, a house, or an information system. In the physical world, the term infrastructure often refers to public utilities, such as water, electricity, gas, sewage, and telephone services – components literally beneath a city's structure.”

“The RTO is the duration of time and a service level within which a business process must be restored after a disaster, in order to avoid unacceptable consequences associated with a lack of business continuity. The RPO describes the amount of data loss a business is willing to accept, measured in time. It is the point in time to which data must be recovered considering some "acceptable loss" in a disaster situation.”
