The business implementation model

The business implementation model groups geographical, physical and material aspects.

The geographical aspect deals with the location of objects and actions. It provides the notions of site and position, and highlights the need for communication.

Through the physical aspect, the location of software components (including databases) on material is described.

The material aspect of the system is the set of physical machines that make up the system, together with their properties (capacity…) and their links (networks).

Icone	Name	Description
	Business Organization model	Model in which geographical, physical and material aspects are represented.
	Domain	Deployment element structuring unit.
Geographical aspects
	Headquarters	Organization headquarters.
	Site	Geographical site of the organization.
	Association	Connects sites and headquarters to show links.
Material and physical aspects
	Workstation, Workstation instance
	Internet view	Access node
	Network node
	Network router
	Server, Server instance
	Application server
	Network switch
	Association
	Dependency
	Information flow

Deployment takes place by projecting instances of elements resulting from the logical, physical or software model onto physical or geogrpahical elements. For example, a logical component instance on a server, or a server instance on a geographical site.

Deployment model diagrams

There are three types of deployment model diagram:

· Geographical deployment diagrams

· Material architecture diagrams

· Physical architecture diagrams

Geographical deployment diagrams

Geographical deployment diagrams present the deployment of organizational units across different sites (as shown below). This type of diagram is created using the icon.

Example of a geographical deployment diagram showing the deployment of organizational units across different sites

Geographical deployment diagrams can also show the deployment of material over different sites.

Material architecture diagrams

Material architecture diagrams provide a general overview of the network. This type of diagram is created using the icon.

Physical architecture diagrams

Physical architecture diagrams show how applications are distributed on material. This type of diagram is created using the icon.
