An Infrastructure Architect (also known as Solution Architect) is a professional responsible for designing and overseeing the overall structure of an organisation's technology infrastructure. This includes the hardware, software, networks, and other essential components that support an organisation's IT systems. The Infrastructure Architect works to ensure that the technology infrastructure aligns with the business goals and requirements, providing a scalable and efficient foundation for the organisation's operations.

Infrastructure Architects need a solid understanding of various technologies, including servers, storage, networking, virtualisation, and cloud computing. They also require good communication skills to collaborate with different teams and stakeholders. They crucially have to stay informed about the latest industry trends - including developments and best practices. This allows them to adapt effectively when dealing with new technologies and applying them to an organisation’s needs.
