ASSIGNMENT 11

You were tasked by the IC-dean to evaluate the enrollment system of the university, list and briefly describe the characteristics that an analyst (you) examines when choosing or defining deployment environment.

As an assignment I was tasked by the IC-dean to evaluate the enrollment system of the university. In evaluating the enrollment system of the university there are many things to consider in evaluating it. And one of the primary considerations in developing a new information system is the application deployment environment. As the definition says that deployment environment is a collection of configured clusters, servers, and middleware that collaborate to provide an environment to host software modules. An important part of any project is ensuring that the application deployment environment is defined and well matched to application requirements. At this life cycle stage, the analyst’s goal is to define the environment in sufficient detail to be able to choose from among competing alternatives and to provide sufficient information for design to begin.

These are the characteristics examines when choosing or defining deployment environment:

Consider the configuration
In this characteristic the Analyst must consider the configuration of computer equipment, the operating systems, and also the networks that will exist when the new application system is deployed.

Determine the constraints
The second one is that the analyst must determine the limitation that are imposed on the system development and its alternatives.

Define Environment
The third one is that the analyst must define its environment or its multiple environmental choices that can match the application requirements.

Define Application
The analyst must define the organization’s strategic application.

Define Plans
The analyst must define technology architecture plans.

Determining Alternatives
Prioritizing the requirements is determining what alternatives are possible for developing the solution.

In conclusion with this deployment environment choices, specifically with its operating system, the Database Management System, and also the distribution of the software in the case of its standardization, the tendency to limit the development tool choices. With this, the analyst should consider all the development and the development environments together when it comes in determining on fitting to a particular application.
