Pattern
Pattern

A Pattern is a set of Building Blocks that form an infrastructure Product/Solution. A Pattern describes the architecture of a solution, being technology and organization agnostic. One ore more Pattern Types serve as archetypes for the modelling of a Pattern Variant, that outlines a solution at implementation level. It houses the general description of the intended functionality of the Pattern Variants based upon it. The full set of Pattern Types form the universal and basic structure of all Infrastructure Landscapes. A graphical overview of the Pattern Types that together form the archetype of the Infrastructure Landscape is depicted below:

Access Security Controls and secures (external) user connections with back-end facilities and applications J.A.H. Schoonderbeek 3
Application Hosting Accommodates (business) applications and services ?S.A.D. Jumelet? 3
Content Hosting Hosts content and makes it available in a suitable form(s) to users J.A.H. Schoonderbeek 3
Streams Management A generic pattern to send out and/or receive data in time-dependent streams, such as audio, video or gaming information J.A.H. Schoonderbeek 3
Message Handling Provides transport, storage and delivery of messages S.A.D. Jumelet 3
Orchestration Provides facilities to create, execute and control automated (business/application) workflows S.A.D. Jumelet 2
User Workspace Comprises a set of facilities that offer a digital workspace to end-users, that enables them to use and access applications and/or communicate with other end-users S.A.D. Jumelet 3

Data Zone Protection Controls and secures data exchange between two data transport zones J.A.H. Schoonderbeek 3
File Storage Carries out the storage and retrieval of loosely structured data at a single, logical location; can provide advanced functionality ("intelligence") to administrators and/or users. J.A.H. Schoonderbeek 4
Raw Storage Carries out the storage and retrieval of "raw bits" data at a single, logical location; optionally provides advanced functionality ("intelligence") to administrators and/or users. J.A.H. Schoonderbeek 4
Facilities Deployment Provides a set of facilities to automate the deployment and administration of platforms, applications and/or configurations S.A.D. Jumelet 3
Facilities Monitoring Comprises a set of facilities to enable centralized and intelligent monitoring of automated systems, either or both for system health care and security purposes S.A.D. Jumelet 3
