If all the three components of any organization are in sync amongst each other, a business is said to be functioning smoothly.

Not all business enterprises run on a large scale. Some have in-house IT operations running smoothly on their internal servers and data centers, whereas there are other organizations that require extra space apart from their already functioning servers and data centers. On this note we can say that every business has a different approach for each of their tasks and daily work operations.
