Service oriented organizations rely on resilient computing systems to assist them not only in automating their business but also extending their operation hours to 24 by 7. Two major categories of their computing systems are software and hardware. Many researchers have worked on the software development to improve the performance of business processes on the application level. However, without proper system infrastructure the effectiveness of these improvements will be reduced significantly. The system infrastructure design should fully support the application's requirements which are derived from the business objectives. In this paper we present a methodology for system software and hardware integration design, System Infrastructure Development Life Cycle. We apply this methodology to the research and education infrastructure development project for the Enterprise Computing Systems program at our school. Two pilot tasks, "Hardware and System Software Installation and Configuration" and "Building a Networking and Supporting Environment" are used to validate the process.
