Assignment 11

Introduction

In this article I am about to briefly describe the characteristics that an analyst examines when choosing or defining deployment environment, but before that I will tackle about what is deployment environment.

Application deployment environment is the arrangement or formation of computer hardware, system software and the networks in which new system will operate. It also controls limits imposed on system development alternatives. So it simply means that in examining or choosing the deployment environment, I as analyst must first understand the hardware’s and software’s being used by the university.

Characteristics of an Analyst When Examining and Choosing a Deployment Environment

Consider the Configuration

                It is important to consider the configuration, in order to know the limitations of the computer specially its structure and also to know the compatibility of computer software’s and computer hardware’s, in order to have good performance; these configurations are the specifications of the computer.

Define the Environment

                It is important to define first the environment in order to know what the applications that will match to the environment are and in order to have multiple environmental choices.

Planning

                In the enrollment system, I as an analyst need to plan well on how to interconnect all the departments that are involve in the enrollment in such a way that this department will unite and cooperate well with each other.

Determining the Alternatives

                It is very important to have alternatives in order to have possible solutions on how to develop and enhance the system.

Security Issues

                I as an analyst must make sure that the security of the system is reliable, the system must use only by the one responsible of using it.

Cost and Schedule

               

                It is important to determine the cost and the time to build the system, in order for the client to know how much money will be involved and to know the running period of the sytem.

Conclusion

               

                To sum it all up an analyst must understand all the things that is related to the system, for example, the computer hardware’s, the people around the system, the possible solutions in order to enhance the system and most importantly an analyst should consider the deployment and development environments together when determining their fit to a particular application.
