This document discusses the IT infrastructure needed to support a virtual organization. It first defines a virtual organization as a temporary or permanent coalition of dispersed individuals, groups, or organizations that pool resources to achieve common goals relying on information technology. It then outlines some key components of an IT infrastructure for a virtual organization, including networking, distributed computing, web services, security, and facilities like email, file sharing, and video conferencing. Finally, it discusses approaches to building such an infrastructure, such as grid computing, cloud computing, and virtualization, and some technical challenges around compatibility, security, and dynamic technology changes.

VIRTUAL ORGANIZATION

5.  Internet
 Networking
 Distributed Computing
 Sophisticated Web Services

6. Understanding about Virtual Organization
VO is a relatively new concept that
has emerged in the beginning of 1990s

7. Incentive behind to create Virtual Organization
 Technical complexity of demanded products
 Constantly changing customer requirements
 Constantly changing market requirements
 Development, production and support
of modern products is highly complex (Risk)
 To deliver highest quality product at the
lowest possible cost in a timely manner

8. Understanding about Virtual Organization
 VO is a temporary or permanent coalition
of geographically dispersed
individuals, groups, organizational units or
entire organizations that pool
resources, capabilities and information to
achieve common objectives, while
decisively relying on
information technology & its
Infrastructure.

9. Virtual Organizational Designs
 Not physically existing as
such but made and
connected by software
 Fuzzy Boundaries
 Flexible Structure
 Ability to Include new
Partner

10. What organizations have to do?
 Unite Virtually
 Share Resources
 Share Capabilities
 Share Experience
 Share Common
Facilities

11. 5 Steps to Introducing A Virtual IT
Infrastructure Into Organization
1. Work out your Requirements
2. Speak to Professionals
3. Talk to your IT Team
4. Confirm your Budget
5. Get everyone on Board

12. A Virtual Firm
 A leading maker of computer workstations.
 Concentrates on H/W & S/W design.
 Where it distinguished itself from
competitors?
 It relies so heavily on external
manufacturers and distributors
 After a vendor assembles the
machine, another contract supplier delivers
it to the customer
Sun Microsystems, Inc.

25. Conclusion
We start the presentation with what is virtual
organization and what types of virtual organization
exist. How these organization do their work and
manage their activities . In the second part of the
presentation we discus the IT infrastructure for the
virtual organization that how we create a good It
infrastructure for virtual organization. What are the
components of IT infrastructure and what things must
be in mind in developing IT infrastructure.
