Abstract

Summary Application software requires a powerful, advanced and dependable infrastructure to execute upon. Infrastructure must support the objectives of managed evolution: Most important is the decoupling of the applications from infrastructure. Infrastructure standardization and lifecycle management allow applications to be quickly developed and to follow their own lifecycles, only loosely coupled to infrastructure lifecycles. The key concepts to achieve successful decoupling are the management of the technology portfolio with respect to redundancy and to technology risk, the extensive use of platforms defined as sets of integrated technical components and processes for the development and operation of applications. Finally, an operations and system management which is specifically built in order to cope with a very large information system consisting of loosely coupled components is required.
