Designing ISP Architectures

Understanding the Model

An ISP architectural model provides a design framework for ISP architectures, which are often complex and comprised of multiple components requiring careful consideration and design. When designing an architecture, it is helpful to use or create a model, then apply all the requirements, assumptions, and design trade offs.

The model presented here is from our point of view, based upon experience in design and resulting best practices. Although there are many other architectural models, principles, and ways of approaching a design, for purposes of demonstration we focus on selected key components and principles. We advise you to determine which attributes and principals are most appropriate for your design, from a larger ...
