What Is Information Architecture

What is information architecture? Information architecture (IA) is a broad and abstract term. At the most general sense the information architecture describes the structure of a system, how the different pieces of information are related at the system and represents their relationships. The information architecture term was introduced by Richard Saul Wurman in 1975 and now is commonly used in the context of websites and intranets, information structures and computer systems. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM extended with Enterprise Architecture Diagrams Solution from the Management Area is the best software for design information architecture and drawing Enterprise Architecture Diagrams.

How to Create an Enterprise Architecture Diagram

An Enterprise Architecture (EA) diagram is used to display the structure and operations of an organization. It is used to analyze and document an organization and its business functions, along with the applications and systems on which they are implemented. The aim of an enterprise architecture diagram is to determine how an organization can effectively achieve its current and future objectives. The Enterprise Architecture often uses diagrams to support the decision-making process. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to design Enterprise Architecture diagrams of any complexity.

Hybrid Network Topology

A network topology is the topological structure or the arrangement of different elements of computer network. There are several basic types of network topologies, such as star, ring, bus, mesh. But the most popular is a combination of two or more diverse basic network topologies, which is known as hybrid network topology. The examples of hybrid topology are: star-bus, star-ring topologies, etc. Each resulting hybrid topology has its own features, advantages and limitations of its components. Hybrid network topologies are more flexible, reliable, and have increased fault tolerance, the faults in them can be easily diagnosed and corrected, new nodes can be easily added. But at the same time hybrid topologies often are sufficiently expensive and difficult for managing. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software supplied with the tools of Computer Network Diagrams solution from Computer and Networks area is perfect for schematic description various types of computer network topologies and easy designing Hybrid network topology diagrams.
