Im currently putting a proposal together for the expansion of our IT dept. We currently have a team of 4, spread across management office, small office, and server room - we're very low on space, the server room is also used for storage, which is a fire hazard.<br />
<br />
What i'm looking for is some kind of standards, guidelines, things to quote in the proposal, eg according to ISO blah blah a server room should .....<br />
<br />
This would ideally cover physical space, fire risks and working space for the IT team.<br />
<br />
I've had a search around and can't really find anything that I can apply to this except the 11 cubic metres per person of working space.<br />
<br />
Thanks for any help.

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.

Network Management

IT Administration is the processes and best practices for programming and development, and incorporates methodologies for managing activities and projects. Common methodologies include waterfall, prototyping, iterative and incremental development, spiral development, rapid application development, extreme programming and various types of agile methodology. The life-cycle "model" is a more general term for a category of methodologies, and a software development "process" a more specific term to refer to a specific process chosen by a specific organization.
