What is an Infrastructure Architect?

Infrastructure Architects, sometimes referred to as Solutions Architects, are responsible for designing, implementing, and integrating information systems to fit within existing systems infrastructure.

Infrastructure Architects work alongside different business leaders and units in order to design solutions that achieve business goals while also working within existing and/or legacy systems.
