Microsoft Optimisation Components
Microsoft developed the Infrastructure Optimization (IO) initiative to support organisations in their quest to improve operational efficiency and better support business activities. Optimization focuses on using an organisation's IT assets to support and advance the business. It helps business measure their level of optimization and drive for a truly people-ready infrastructure. Microsoft has developed three models that outline a progression through four levels of Optimization. Using these models, organisations can gauge the current level of optimization of their infrastructure and application platform, establish a technology vision for the future, and build a clear roadmap to achieving that vision. Each Optimization model includes specific technical capabilities that provide a comprehensive set of solutions to help advance a customer’s infrastructure and platform Optimization levels.

The Application Platform Optimisation model enables organisations to drive the business forward by quickly delivering connected, flexible, and highly secure applications. It provides a user-centric experience, helping amplify the productivity and efficiency of their employees and improving the customer experience. It delievers fast and easy integration across existing software and new web-based applications; and the ability to connect mission-critical applications while providing internet-class scalability and robust performance.

Core Infrastructure Optimization model
The Core Infrastructure Optimization model helps organisations better understand and strive for a more secure, well-managed, and dynamic core infrastructure that will help enable them to reduce their overall IT costs, make better use of IT resources, and make IT a strategic asset for the business. This model supports IT professionals in the management of servers, desktops, mobile devices, and applications and in achieving efficient resource usage to help eliminate unnecessary costs and complexity, ensure that the business is always up and running, and establish a responsive infrastructure.
