Deployment Designer

Service oriented applications often involve multiple components that may reside on different servers and have a variety of configuration and communication requirements. The Team Edition for Software Architects Deployment Designer can be used to validate an application for deployment in a particular datacenter. Validation detects many common deployment issues, allowing the development team to resolve them before deployment occurs. This has the potential to greatly reduce the complexity of service oriented application deployments.

The Deployment Designer is one of four distributed designers in Team Edition for Software Architects. Using these designers, users can create diagrams for systems, applications, deployments, and datacenters that remain synchronized with the development process.

To create a new Deployment Diagram in the Deployment Designer, add a new Distributed Diagram from the Solution Explorer.
