As enterprise IT architects and software systems developers consider how to implement a comprehensive enterprise IT architecture for the coming years, many are considering using several industry architecture development frameworks, including The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF).
TOGAF, The Open Group Architecture Framework, is an industry standard architecture framework that may be used freely by any organization wishing to develop an information systems architecture for use within that organization.
Today's Business/IT Environment for medium and large corporations can often be characterized as:
An IT environment that is highly complex & costly - organizations were spending more and more money extending, enhancing, and maintaining existing IT systems and services
Ineffective business alignment - organizations were finding it more and more difficult to keep their increasingly expensive IT systems aligned with business needs and drive the level of innovation required to grow the business
An effective Enterprise Architecture (EA) Program can deliver significant benefits to an organization including:
Reduced cost to maintain existing IT systems by reducing the number of technologies in operation (lower the cost of maintenance and training) as well as increasing the utilization of IT assets
Reduced time to bring new business products/services to the market by enabling the re-use of Business and IT services
Increased effectiveness of IT resources (capacity planning, solution teams) including increased efficiency of operation (design for change)
Increased effectiveness of Business resources by providing information and support for decision making (triggers points) and enabling impact analysis (reduce technology risk)
Reduce the all-to-often "firedrills" that divert focus from business imperatives
The Infrastructure Planning and Design (IPD) guides are the next version of Windows Server System Reference Architecture. The guides in this series help clarify and streamline design processes for Microsoft infrastructure technologies, with each guide addressing a unique infrastructure technology or scenario.
More often than not in business deployments, one of the first things
done with a new PC is to downgrade from Windows Vista to the more
popular Windows XP
...so buy a new license and buy a new computer... this is getting kinda expensive compared to 'keep my old machine and run my app'...
Windows 7 XP Mode, Microsoft is clearly on the right path to
reduce the need for Vista or XP on new systems. With some bug fixes and
polishing, XP Mode can be a viable alternative to virtualized versions
of XP on other platforms
...this is beginning to sound like the Intel Itanium processor (remember the x86 virtual mode?)... only on the OS side. This repackage of Vista with is only compelling if there are critical appls that operate under the 'new & improved' platform... so far all I see is the "new"...
Class diagram is UML structure diagram which shows structure of the designed system at the level of classes and interfaces, shows their features, constraints and relationships - associations, generalizations, dependencies, etc.
First, developers must deal with the additional complexity of creating a distributed system.
Implementing use cases that span multiple services without using distributed transactions is difficult.
The microservice architecture also introduces significant operational complexity. There are many more moving parts – multiple instances of different types of service – that must be managed in production.
