Like any foundation, it is critical that the Infrastructure for a software project is designed and implemented according to best practises and with full consideration for what the future may hold. It is during this critical phase of an implementation that decisions will be made that potentially impact the organisation from a cost and service delivery perspective, for decades to come.
