Technical Architecture Definition Matrices

During a technical architecture definition, you analyze the distribution of business functions and entity types at physical types of locations, and compare them against the current environment.

This analysis helps you determine possible single-site and multi-site support requirements for business areas. This task is meant to establish a strategic direction rather than produce a detailed network design.

Organizational Unit/Location Matrix

The Organizational Unit/Location Matrix records the distribution of existing organizational units at physical locations.
Gen
populates the organizational unit axis if the organizational unit names exist in the Organizational Hierarchy Diagram or another matrix.
Possible cell values are X, 1 through 9, and blank.

Current Information System/Location Matrix

The Current Information System/Location Matrix records the distribution of current data stores at physical locations.
The software populates the rows and columns if the information systems and locations exist in other matrices.
Possible cell values are X, 1 through 9, and blank.

Current Data Store/Location Matrix

The Current Data Store/Location Matrix records the distribution of current data stores at physical locations.
The software populates the rows and columns if current data stores and locations exist in another matrix.
Possible cell values are X, 1 through 9, and blank.

Location/Location Matrix

The Location/Location Matrix determines whether traffic flows from one type of location to another.
The software populates the rows and columns if locations exist in another matrix.
Possible cell values are X, 1 through 9, and blank.
You can quantify the amount of traffic between locations by using a value from 1 through 6 to indicate high, medium, or low volume of either continuous or periodic traffic. Continuous traffic might lend itself to a batch implementation. Suggested values are 1 through 6 where:
Value
Traffic
1
low volume periodic
2
medium volume periodic
3
high volume periodic
4
low high volume continuous
5
medium volume continuous
6
high volume continuous

Activity Cluster or Location Matrix

The Cluster/Location Matrix distributes activity clusters at physical locations.
The software populates the rows and columns if activity clusters and locations are entered in other matrices.
Possible cell values are X, 1 through 9, and blank.

Data Cluster/Location Matrix

The Data Cluster/Location Matrix records the distribution of business functions at physical types of locations.
The software populates the rows and columns if data clusters and locations exist in other matrices.
Possible cell values are X, 1 through 9, and blank.

Business Function/Location Matrix

The Business Function/Location Matrix records the distribution of business functions at physical locations. Only the lowest-level functions appear in the business function axis of this matrix.
The software populates the rows and columns if business functions are in the activity model and locations exist in another matrix.
Possible cell values are X, 1 through 9, and blank.

Entity Type/Location Matrix

The Entity Type/Location Matrix records the distribution of entity types at physical types of locations.
The software populates the rows and columns if entity types are in the data model and locations exist in another matrix.
Possible cell values are X, 1 through 9, and blank.
