Day in and day out, users rely on the network to do their jobs well. Network uptime is crucial to the company’s operation and is becoming even more important as technology advances. Network infrastructure refers to the grouping of physical hardware and logical components which are needed to provide a number of features for the network, such as connectivity, routing and switching capabilities, network security, and access control. The physical infrastructure of the network refers to the physical design of the network together with the hardware components. The logical infrastructure of the network consists of all the software components required to enable connectivity between devices, and to provide network security. The network's logical infrastructure consists of software products and networking protocols and services. At a minimum, the network infrastructure should be capable of high availability to the three 9s (99.9%) of uptime. This equates to 8.76 hours of downtime per year for planned maintenance. Even more the network infrastructure should be able to strive for four 9s
