Characteristics examines when choosing or defining deployment environment

You were tasked by the IC-dean to evaluate the enrollment system of the university, list and briefly describe the characteristics that an analyst (you) examines when choosing or defining deployment environment.


One of the primary considerations in developing a new information system is the application deployment environment. The application deployment environment is the configuration of computer hardware, system software, and networks in which the new application software will operate. An important part of any project is ensuring that the application deployment environment is defined and well matched to application requirements. At this life cycle stage, the analyst’s goal is to define the environment in sufficient detail to be able to choose from among competing alternatives and to provide sufficient information for design to begin.

These are the characteristics examines when choosing or defining deployment environment:

Consider the configuration
Analysts consider the configuration of computer equipment, operating systems, and networks that will exist when the new application system is deployed.


Determine the constraints
The analyst must determine the constraints that are imposed on the system development alternatives.

Define Environment
The analyst must define an environment, or multiple environmental choices, that match application requirements

Define Application
The analyst must define the organization’s strategic application

Define Plans
The analyst must define technology architecture plans.

Determining Alternatives
Prioritizing the requirements is determining what alternatives are possible for developing the solution.


In sum, application deployment environment choices, particularly the operating system, DBMS, and distributed software standard, tend to limit development tool choices. Thus, an analyst should consider the deployment and development environments together when determining their fit to a particular application.
