Introduction

A series of books “IT Architecture from A to Z” is an author’s attempt to collect, summarize and systematize his accumulated experience and knowledge in IT.

A series of books “IT Architecture from A to Z” – Green Book

“IT Architecture from A to Z: Theoretical Basis” is the first book of the “IT Architecture from A to Z” series which contains the theoretical basis of planning, building and maintaining IT architecture, Project management, IT services, etc. It is used as a source of proven practical materials and recommendations of standards and practices. It is a revised, amended and updated edition of “IT Architecture: a Practical Guide from A to Z”.

A series of books “IT Architecture from A to Z” – Blue Book

“IT Architecture from A to Z: A Complete Solution” is the second book of the “IT Architecture from A to Z” series which contains detailed technical information and practical examples of implementing IT solutions based on the fundamentals of the theory described in the first book. As examples, I considered Windows 10/2016 based solutions, as well as complex solutions on monitoring, managing and configuring Microsoft System Center 2016, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2016, project management solutions in Microsoft Project Server 2016, Exchange 2016, Skype for Business 2015 solutions, functionality of Direct Access 2016, Hyper-V, DFS и File Server, RDS etc. I presented the detailed requirements and examples of system assurance estimates as well as the power capacity calculations and costing solutions. The author selects solutions that are the most suitable for performing the objectives set, or have been practical for him. It is a revised, amended and updated edition of “IT Architecture: A Practical Guide from A to Z”.

A series of books “IT Architecture from A to Z” – Grey book

“IT Architecture from A to Z: Documentation Templates” contains the set of documentation templates and examples, required for daily IT routine. It is used as a source of proven practical materials and recommendations of standards and practices.

A series of books “IT Architecture from A to Z” – Yellow book

“IT Architecture from A to Z: Solutions Catalog” describes the possibilities of various IT solutions, analysis and comparison of functionalities. Over a hundred solutions have been tested or practically used so far.

A series of books “IT Architecture from A to Z” – Red book

“IT Architecture from A to Z: Alternative Solutions” contains detailed technical information and practical examples of carrying out the IT solutions based on the theory, described in “IT Architecture from A to Z: Theoretical Basis”. As examples, the author uses solutions whose priority selection criterion is “zero value”. The IT infrastructure and components described in the “Blue book” are taken as a basic solution.

A series of books “IT Architecture from A to Z” – Black book

“IT Architecture from A to Z: Cloud solution” contains the detailed technical information and practical examples of carrying out the IT solutions based on the theory described in “IT Architecture from A to Z: Theoretical Basis”. The “cloud” solutions are used as examples where possible.
