Ideal Solution
Host all of the systems so they may be logically accessed via the simplest,
fastest and most efficacious methods consistent with the varied security
requirements which optimizes the efficiencies of scale and sharing of resources
and knowledge across the widest possible audience.
Reducing redundancies and wasted effort while maintaining compliance with the
needs and requirements of all the varied groups.
Facilitating the cross dependencies inherent in the types of systems being
requested to maximize the efforts of each support and development group
involved.
Strongly suggestive of a shared infrastructure and physical site – minimizing
potential network travel time and connectivity issues while concentrating the
infrastructure required to support the “non-standard” design.
