Within this Environment, networking connections between international branches of ArchiSurance reside. +
In the Environment Regional, facilities are in place to establish connections between ArchiSurance sites that form one business region. In a business region, headquarters, branch offices, warehouses and Distribution Points are connected to each other. A special type of connection within this Environment is formed by the connections to Internet Service Providers (ISPs), that are established at regional level (instead of global). +
This Environment is intended to comprise the facilities that offer network connectivity to server platforms/appliances that are used to support internal processes. +
This Environment comprise the facilities that offer network connectivity to server platforms/appliances that are used to support processes and applications that are accessed by external users/machines. It also accommodates facilities to connect to other networks, like the Internet, (business) partners and contractors. +
The Working Area "Network" comprises facilities that are used to transport, and optionally control, manipulate and shape data between systems and locations.
Generally these facilities share a couple of characteristics:
* the functionality always concerns the transport of digital data between machines;
* the functionality provided has a supportive nature and cannot be used directly by end users and/or applications. +
P
This Pattern Variant defines the implementation outline of a solution that provides best effort application hosting, making use of a Cloud service. +
An instance of this Pattern Variant supports local security to a facility or device. It offers a means for entities to identify or authenticate themselves, and offers authorization services for actions on local resources. +
Instances of this facility provides data transport between locations outside of ArchiSurance's own premises and the ArchiSurance IT facilities. +
This facility can deploy 3rd party apps to a specific class or brand of devices. +
This Pattern retains data in loosely structured form, local to the facility or device. +
This facility offers business users a standardized set of business and office applications, accessible from a user's own local device/client. +
This facility can be used to obtain access to centralized workspaces and/or corporate data on the organization's network. It can also run local applications and make use of the Internet. +

Central logging for SAP Applications. +
Central monitoring for SAP Applications. +
In the Off Site Environment facilities are in place to protect (archived) data collections. In the Off Site Environment, physical conditions (like fire prevention and physical security) meet very high standards. +
In the On Site Environment, facilities are in place that provide local data storage (mostly on a remote ArchiSurance premise). +
The Remote Environment comprises all data storage facilities that are located on a non-ArchiSurance, non-controlled location. There is no way ArchiSurance can impose Quality demands on facilities within this Environment. However, this Environment has been created to be aware of the fact that some ArchiSurance data will travel its own way. To limit this, policies should be in place and maintained to prevent spraying of data. +
This working area contains functions that are mainly used to enforce IT security, and/or help the IT administrators in their support of the infrastructure. +
The Working Area "Server" comprises centralized computing capacity and facilities. Next to business application execution, this Working Area encompasses many centrally processed functions, like e-mail handling, print spooling, call management et cetera.
Generally, they share a couple of characteristics:
* the functionality is offered to business applications and end users;
* the functionality is offered non-locally: some form of networking facilities are employed to provide intended users access to centralized facilities and applications. +
The Working Area "Storage" compromises facilities that supply (physical) data retention/preservation.
Infrastructure facilities in this Working Area share a couple of characteristics:
* their functionality relates not only to storing of data for a longer or shorter period of time, but also retrieval of it;
* their functionality is never offered to end users directly. +
