Node Infrastructure Viewpoint
The Node infrastructure viewpoint contains the computing and communication hardware infrastructure elements supporting the application layer, such as physical devices or networks.
Concepts and Relations
The ArchiMate concepts used in a Node infrastructure viewpoint Diagram and their relations are described below.
This viewpoint describes a Node.
A
Node is defined as a computational resource upon which artifacts may be deployed for execution.
A
Device is defined as a physical computational resource upon which artifacts may be deployed for execution.
An
Infrastructure interface is defined as a point of access where the functionality offered by a node can be accessed by other nodes and application components.
A
Network is defined as a physical communication medium between two or more devices.
A
Communication path is defined as a link between two or more nodes, through which these nodes can exchange information.
An
Infrastructure service is defined as an externally visible unit of functionality, provided by one or more nodes, exposed through well-defined interfaces, and meaningful to the environment.
