Enterprise Architecture Analysis and Layers

This assignment delves into the concept of enterprise architecture, focusing on its three fundamental layers: business, application, and technology. It provides a clear definition of each layer and illustrates their interconnectedness through diagrams and explanations. The assignment also references relevant frameworks like TOGAF and discusses the importance of aligning business goals with IT infrastructure.

Task 1
Relevant Frameworks Analysis
Framework Brief Description Pro Con Reference
TOGAF TOGAF stands for The Open Group Architecture
Framework and it is helpful for developing
architecture for the enterprise. The architecture
framework evaluates the processes of planning,
designing, implementing, and evaluating the concepts
of the development of the architectural structure for
the business enterprises. The TOGAF provides a high
level approach for designing of the architecture for the
enterprises. The design model for the TOGAF would
imply the use of four levels namely the business layer,
the application layer, the data layer, and the
technology layer. The architecture frameworks is
deployed for forming the usage of a wide range of the
architecture. TOGAF remains for The Open Group
Architecture Framework and it is useful for creating
engineering for the venture. The engineering system
assesses the procedures of arranging, planning,
actualizing, and assessing the ideas of the
improvement of the building structure for the business
ventures. The TOGAF gives an abnormal state way to
deal with outlining of the design for the ventures. The
outline display for the TOGAF would infer the
utilization of four levels in particular the business
layer, the application layer, the information layer, and
the innovation layer. The engineering systems is
conveyed for shaping the use of an extensive variety of
the design.
The division of the TOGAF into different processes
would help in forming the improved functions for the
organization.
The architecture framework evaluates the processes of
planning, designing, implementing, and evaluating the
concepts of the development of the architectural
structure for the business enterprises.
The TOGAF would help in forming the high level
designing approach. It would enable the appropriate
approach for deployment of the effective processing.
The division of the TOGAF into various procedures
would help in framing the enhanced capacities for the
association.
The engineering system assesses the procedures of
arranging, outlining, actualizing, and assessing the
ideas of the improvement of the design structure for
the business endeavors.
The TOGAF would help in shaping the abnormal state
outlining approach. It would empower the suitable
approach for organization of the compelling preparing.
The requirement of the improvement facilities would
help in forming the accurate and improved operability
of the TOGAF. However, the unpredictable nature of
the organization would form the issues in developing
the aggregate management of the operations and
implementation. The division of the TOGAF into
various procedures would help in framing the
enhanced capacities for the association. The
engineering system assesses the procedures of
arranging, outlining, actualizing, and assessing the
ideas of the advancement of the compositional
structure for the business ventures. The TOGAF
would help in framing the abnormal state outlining
approach. It would empower the suitable approach for
sending of the compelling handling.
