Describe 6 Architecture Repository Components
- Generic (foundation) to specific (organization)- Abstract (architecture) to concrete (solution)- Logical to physical
List 3 axes Enterprise Continuum uses for classification
Describe the Enterprise Continuum
- A view of the Architecture Repository
- From generic to organization specific
- Contains Architecture and Solutions Continuum- Foundational > Common > Industry > Organizational
How does the Enterprise Continuum promote component reuse
- Organizes reusable components by classifying them
- Is a virtual repository referencing all assets from ADM
- Assets can exist in the enterprise or from outside
- References generic industry reference models (Retail ARTS)
- References patterns specific to Organization
- ADM describes process of moving from- Foundation architecture toward industry/organization
Relationship between Enterprise Continuum and ADM
- A view of the Architecture Repository
- From generic to organization specific
- Contains Architecture and Solutions Continuum- Foundational > Common > Industry > Organizational
Describe the Enterprise Continuum
- A structuring of Architectural building blocks (ABB)- Guides and selects elements in Solutions Continuum- Defines derivations from general and relationships- Allows one to discover commonality and reuse
Summarize the Architecture Continuum
Relationship between Architecture and Solutions Continuum
- The 4 architectures guide selection of Solutions- The 4 solutions support and reify the architectures
Relationship between Enterprise Continuum and ADM
- ADM describes process of moving from- Foundation architecture toward industry/organization
- Classification System
- Assist in identifying reusable assets
- Communication aid
- Aid to Software engineering
- Aid to making effective use of COTS
Define Enterprise Continuum
Define Enterprise Continuum
- Classification System
- Assist in identifying reusable assets
- Communication aid
- Aid to Software engineering
- Aid to making effective use of COTS
- Generic solution components, products, services, tools- E.g., programming languages, operating systems, EDI, ITIL
Describe Foundation Solutions
- The 4 architectures guide selection of Solutions- The 4 solutions support and reify the architectures
Relationship between Architecture and Solutions Continuum
List 3 axes Enterprise Continuum uses for classification
- Generic (foundation) to specific (organization)- Abstract (architecture) to concrete (solution)- Logical to physical
Describe Organization Solutions
- Solutions that are unique to the organization- Structured to support specific SLAs and key metrics
List the 2 major components of the Enterprise Continuum
- Architecture Continuum- Solutions Continuum
- Common solutions across relevant domains- E.g., security, management, network- Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model- III-RM - relates to boundaryless information flow
Describe Common Systems Architecture
Characteristics of a foundation architecture
- Reflects general computing requirements
- Reflects general building blocks
- Defines technology standards for the BBs
- Provides direction for products and services
- Reflects directions and strategies
- Can be used to build any architecture - Foundation for specific
