Infrastructure
in-fruh-struhk-cher (noun) Infrastructure is the fundamental underlying framework of systems, networks, and technology that supports an organisation's daily operations and digital capabilities. It encompasses everything from servers and databases to cloud platforms, security systems, and the connections that make them all work together seamlessly.
Think: the digital equivalent of a city's roads, power lines, and water pipes — mostly invisible when working properly, but absolutely critical for everything else to function.
