Characterizing platforms and architecture
{"Image DocumentName": "Characterizing platforms and architecture", "Image ImageDescription": "Scope current and future hardware options available to the project. Identify geographical locations, firewalls and predefined service hosting restrictions. Define predefined Endpoints and Services. Define data models and identify required conversions and transformations. Main Point(s): Outline: II.B. Characterizing system platforms and architecture. Script: Typically there are two ways the hardware question may be approached: Hardware already selected and you need to determine whether there is a risk of serious performance degradation. Hardware not selected and you want to determine the most cost-effective alternative to purchase. The Distributed architecture is very important, as that is a common area of performance failure, as well as a key reason for moving to ESB. Predetermined endpoints (which implies some commitment to an implementation) and services (often Web Services they are looking to leverage) help you determine the fixed part of the software equation. Ideally, at this time you make some evaluation of how large the impact would have to be before the company would reconsider their commitment to this infrastructure.
