1.2.2.5 Infrastructure engineers and operations

As mentioned previously, the delivery of a CMS-based Web site is one where we can typically bring together individuals under the umbrella of four distinctive groups that collaborate on a single goal, the Web site. The infrastructure engineers and operations team is part of the wider IT group and is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the systems are put in place and maintained against corporate standards. These standard typically fall into two areas: systems (the underlying software stack, for example, the  application server) and network (the architectural guidelines of how system communicate or do not communicate).

The infrastructure engineers and operations team performs the following tasks:

• Designs the CMS to fit with previously defined network and system architectural standards
• Establishes processes to monitor and maintain the system
• Works with the business to align budget with standards (resilience, scalability, and so on)
