Building Digital Infrastructure
12011Digitalization requires infrastructure. Without infrastructure, digitalization is like building a house on sand!
Any great structure needs a solid foundation. The same goes for digitalization; without robust infrastructure, digitalization is like constructing a building on the beach, which could collapse at any moment.
1. What is Digital Infrastructure
Digital infrastructure includes network environments, servers, cloud platforms, data centers, database systems, and security protection systems. These are the operational bases for all digital applications.
2. Infrastructure and Business Continuity
Stable infrastructure ensures continuous business operations, even when facing system upgrades, peak traffic, or unexpected events. Conversely, if the foundation is weak, business interruptions will occur frequently.
3. Consequences of Insufficient Infrastructure
System lags, data loss, response delays... These issues not only affect customer experience but may also lead to direct economic losses. More seriously, they can undermine the confidence of enterprises in digitalization.
4. Investment Strategy
Infrastructure construction is not a one-time task but a phased, ongoing investment process. It is advisable to first address bottlenecks and then gradually optimize and expand, ensuring that investments align with business development.
5. Standardization and Scalability
In infrastructure construction, standardized architecture should be adopted to avoid the "customization trap," while also retaining scalability for future technology upgrades and business expansion.
Conclusion
The competition in digitalization ultimately comes down to the comparison of infrastructures. Only with a solid foundation can the digital edifice be built higher and more stable than ever.
