  • Narrative – plain-English description of any groupings of significant components and the major interactions between these components
  • Component Descriptions – plain-English description of significant components.  What is it? What does it do?

The Physical Architecture Model conveys where the significant components of the Logical Architecture Model reside. States information about targeted deployment environment - platforms, scalability and high-availability
