Methodology for Designing Data Center Architecture for a Government Organization

In the present era, the importance of productivity and the promotion of the performance of companies and organizations in a competitive environment has encouraged them to make more efficient use of computer networks. This is not only possible without the provision of fast, inexpensive, full time, easily available, secure and sustainable services. Therefore, organizations and companies, in the competitive world, must purchase, install and maintain a variety of equipment and hardware, and pay their capital and communicative costs. High costs, lack of skilled human resources, and failure to meet the standards are among the problems of these organizations. To solve these problems, data centers have been developed. These centers, with extraordinary security, strong support, and specific conditions, provide a platform for organizations and companies to leave their data, programs and services to these centers to be used by themselves and their customers remotely. Sooner or later, most Government agencies will have to move towards data centers as a result of high data volumes, the lack of a centralized storage system, availability issues, and security problems. In this paper, using a federal organizational architecture framework, a methodology for architectural design of a data center is presented.
