This chapter provides a deep dive into Technology Architecture within the context of Enterprise Architecture, likening it to the roots of a tree, providing unseen but crucial support to the entire structure. It explains how technology architecture serves as a bridge connecting business strategy with execution by mapping out hardware, software, networking capabilities, and other technological infrastructures that enable business processes. The chapter further elaborates on the key components of technology architecture, such as hardware, software, network infrastructure, security infrastructure, cloud and virtual infrastructure, standards and protocols, and governance mechanisms. Four real-world case studies of Netflix, Capital One, Spotify, and The British Army are provided to illustrate the successful implementation and transformation of technology architecture.
