WEBSPHERE SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE ASSESSMENT AND DEFINITION

To properly assess and/or define the optimal System Architecture for Websphere, some very
critical factors must be considered.

The first step is to use a defined and repeatable methodology to assess your system load and
up-time requirements in order to provide a usage matrix for your system. Incorrect assessment
of these load factors can lead to poor performance and user dissatisfaction or contrarily excess
capacity with its costly overhead. This usage matrix provides the necessary information to
enable capacity and redundancy planning for the system. Both of these factors are critical to
the performance, reliability and recoverability of the system. This planning ensures that your
current requirements are satisfied and that future growth is enabled without roadblocks or
radical system redesign.

Once the capacity plan is developed, Noospherics Technologies will design a cost effective
Network Architecture that balances your companies capability requirements with budgetary
and organizational constraints.

Now that a rational and reasonable Network Architecture has been developed and approved,
Noospherics Technologies will proceed to designing the correct logical and physical System
Architecture including:
