Description
Unit 7 Assignment
Application: Physical
Architecture
The first step in designing a system’s physical architecture is
determining its nonfunctional, or quality, requirements. You then decide how to
structure the architecture to meet those requirements. Should it be
server-based, in which all application functions happen on the server;
client-based, in which only data storage occurs on the server; or
client-server, in which the functions are balanced between the server and the
client? In this Application, consider the nonfunctional requirements for one
type of system and assess their effect on your choices for the architecture.
Many corporate and education organizations use a learning
management system (LMS) to deliver online courses to their customers or employees.
Consider a system of this type with which you are familiar, such as Walden
University’s course system.
In a 2- to 3-page paper, describe your chosen system and develop
at least eight nonfunctional (quality) requirements for it. Include at least one
requirement related to each of the following categories: operations,
performance, security, culture, and organizational politics. How do the
nonfunctional requirements affect your architectural choices? Describe the
physical architecture of this system and explain how it accommodates those
quality requirements.
Support your analysis with specific examples from your readings,
research, and professional experience (if applicable).
Cite your sources according to APA guidelines.
