3 I. Introduction Purpose of this Project The purpose of this document is to provide the definition of the Enterprise Information Technology Architecture (EITA) of Palm Beach County. A technical architecture is a conceptual framework to describe a logical or organizational structure or a set of guidelines intended to provide a cohesive whole pertaining to the infrastructure. The EITA describes a current state, future goals, and active guidelines for building new systems. Enterprise IT Architecture Justification Enterprise architecture standards create commonality thereby increasing the enterprise s capability to provide effective information and services and to reduce the cost of delivering those services. Common IT standards and technology architecture provide guidelines for security, information privacy, communication protocols, infrastructure build out, platform and operating system integration, application development, and user interfaces that create efficiencies across a multi-disciplined environment. There is a critical need for a common set of IT standards and technology that will provide Palm Beach County with the guidelines necessary to migrate from its current environment and take advantage of new technologies with appropriate consideration for legacy systems and applications. Furthermore, it must be capable of being implemented in its entirety or in parts. The following are the major advantages of adaptive enterprise architectures (NASCIO, 2002): Helps to identify and mitigate project risks and increase project success rates. Provides a roadmap guiding all future technology investments and identifying and aiding in the resolution of gaps in the business and IT infrastructures. 3

4 Promotes staff retention by simplifying training and support requirements. Reduces security risks by providing standards for implementing security. Provides interoperability because when there is consistency among the systems, computing resources can be more easily shared. Provides enterprise integration increasing the utility of the enterprise s data by facilitating information sharing between data stores. Sharing information means better government. Shared information minimizes clerical errors, information discrepancies, and government loopholes. Once information is collected, it is warehoused in a centralized location where it can be upgraded, backed up, archived and easily accessed many times by multiple users. Promotes mobile and ubiquitous government initiatives by providing a common access portal for citizen access to government. Public expectation for electronic access to government information and services continues to increase. Citizens expect the same availability of information and efficiencies for government services as they receive from the private sector for information, services and products. Reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) produces technology savings through component commonality, joint purchases, and reuse. Reduced support costs fewer types of computing platforms, operating systems and other software means lower maintenance costs. Consistent service and support for use of infrastructure all agencies have access to the same resources More homogenization of processes learning costs are reduced as similar systems and methodologies are applied across the enterprise. 4

6 Project Goals and Objectives Project Goal In 2003, Palm Beach County developed an Enterprise Information Technology Architecture (EITA) that enables the County to deliver multi-channel services to the public in the most efficient, integrated and cost-effective manner. Project Objectives 1. Define and design the processes that relate to the role of an enterprise architecture. 2. Develop a current-state picture of the technical architecture and develop a future desired-state vision for key architectural domains. 3. Position the County to move forward with ubiquitous-government services in an organized, integrated manner that will enable it to avoid the typical pitfalls of unplanned system development over the long term. 4. Delineate the standards for new system development and implementations. 6

7 Information Technology Architecture Principles (Overview) Definition Established rules that guide technology decision-making. Principles provide the foundation upon which architectural designs are built and to which appeal can be made in the event of differing views on particulars. Criteria for Architecture Principles Understandable To people throughout the Enterprise Clear interpretation of concept and intent Complete and Consistent No major omissions No duplication, overlap, or contractions Everlasting Types of Architecture Principles Management Application Data Technical (Infrastructure) 7

8 II. Architecture Specifications In this section, each architecture component is decomposed into a set of specific elements. Each technology (and process element where appropriate) element is discussed based on industry status and outlook. The following are the model definitions (see Figure 2 and 3, pages 14 and 15): Domain: A natural division of the technical architecture and forms the main building blocks of the technology architecture blueprint. For example Network Infrastructure, Platform Infrastructure, Common Services, Application Services, and Data Services. Categories are color-coded as brown on the templates. Discipline: Disciplines allow for further breakdown of the Domain into manageable pieces and each Discipline is a cohesive unit with regard to its subject areas and stakeholders. Disciplines are color-coded as teal on the templates. Technology Area: Where applicable, Technology Areas support the Discipline as an additional decomposition and are colorcoded as plum on the templates. Product Components: Includes the protocols, products, families and configurations that are specific to a Technology Area or Discipline. Current Situation (baseline): The current technology or process element in use by Palm Beach County. (tactical 2 years): Technologies that Palm Beach County may use in the near term, tactical time frame, now to two years. Currently available products needed to meet existing business needs are identified here. 8

9 : Technologies that Palm Beach County envisions using in the future that provide strategic advantage. Usually anticipated marketplace products are identified here. : Technology and/or process elements targeted for phase out during the architecture planning horizon. These are color-coded in red on the templates. Emerging: Technology and/or process element to be evaluated for future integration into the target architecture based on technology availability and business need. These are color-coded in green on the templates. 9

39 22. Platform Infrastructure Basic Middleware Communications Facilitates program-to-program communications and provides an API that shields (abstracts) the application developer from having to deal with lower-level communications chores. It offers a set of services that extend the power of the communications model in various ways. Remote Procedures Call (RPC) is based on synchronous access to the server- a client application must wait for a RPC to complete before continuing the process and Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) is asynchronous. Messages Oriented Middleware MSMQ Messages Oriented Middleware MSMQ Messages Oriented Middleware MSMQ MSMQ is a messaging protocol that allows applications running on separate servers/processes to communicate in a failsafe manner. 39

40 23. Platform Infrastructure Basic Middleware Platform Middleware This is a combination of communication middleware and variety of additional runtime services that provide an execution environment for application logic. Includes a layer of functionality that partially or fully insulates the application program from the operating system in the same way that communication middleware insulates the application program from the network software.

43 25. Platform Infrastructure Integration Middleware Integration Gateways Software that translates among two or more protocols. It intercepts the communication after it has been sent and converts it into a form that is understandable by a dissimilar recipient. Integration gateways are available for all three kinds of basic middleware. DBMS Gateways Oracle Connect COM Gateways XML Platform Gateways XML VXML (Voice) AJAX DBMS Gateways Oracle Connect COM Gateways XML Platform Gateways XML VXML (Voice) AJAX DBMS Gateways Oracle Connect X COM Gateways XML Platform Gateways XML VXML (Voice) AJAX We are considering MS SQL as an alternative to Oracle Connect. Some gateways reside on the same computer as one of the applications. Others reside on a separate computer, so the first segment of a message s journey is conducted using a different protocol than the second segment. 43

44 26. Platform Infrastructure Integrating Middleware XML Related Standards XML defines a syntax and document organization for data, represented by human-and machine-readable tag/value pairs. Basically, SOAP is an XML-RPC that uses XML to pass message parameters over HTTP. WSDL is an XML format for describing network services as a set of endpoints (ports) operating on messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented information. UDDI will provide access to a global repository of Web Services.
