DETERMINING FACTORS, DESIRABLE PERSONALITY TRAITS AND SKILLSETS
Network Architects often take on department management roles overseeing teams of network engineers, system administrators and perhaps even application developers. The goal of a Network Architect is to design efficient, reliable, cost-effective network infrastructures that meet the long-term information technology and business goals of an organization. The skill to accomplish those long-term goals while also permitting the organization to meet its short-term business goals and financial obligations is what separates mediocre Network Architects from superior ones.
