Technology infrastructure are foundational technology services, software, equipment, facilities and structures upon which the capabilities of nations, cities and organizations are built. This includes both IT infrastructure and traditional infrastructure that is sufficiently advanced such that it can be considered modern technology. The following are common examples of technology infrastructure.
EnergyModern energy infrastructure such as solar panels and battery systems.AgricultureAgricultural technology such as seawater greenhouses that can use solar heating to distill fresh water and grow crops.TransportationAdvanced transportation technology such as high speed train or air traffic control systems.Infrastructure for improving the quality of life and resilience of cities such as an earthquake warning system.
Building TechnologyBuilding technology such as the smart windows in an office building or cooling systems in a data center.Basic systems, hardware and vehicles for supporting a space program.Foundational networking and communications services and equipment at the scale that connects regions, nations and cities. For example, an internet backbone.
Foundational networking services at the scale of an organization such as the routers and switches in a data center.Computing hardware such as computing units and data storage devices.Foundational software for making use of hardware.
Software for storing and using data. Foundational IT services such as an API for determining the location of a device.PlatformsEnvironments for software services, systems and applications such as a cloud platform.Physical things that are extended with internet services. Generally speaking, non-technology infrastructure such as bridges tend to become technology with time as they are improved. For example, a future bridge might be designed to defend itself from earthquakes by calculating and counteracting forces in real time.|
