Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
The IT Operations (IT Ops) department at ArchiSurance has five core responsibilities, each
encompassing a dedicated business process: (1) Batch Operations (Batch Ops), (2) Online Operations
(Online Ops), (3) Security Operations (Security
Ops), (4) User Support and (5) Continuous Improvement. Service level agreements (SLAs) are in place
for Batch Ops and Online Ops, and each Ops process generates monitoring data that is utilized by the
Continuous Improvement process.
The System Ops category consists of Batch Ops, Online Ops, and Security Ops, each having an
incident management sub-process. These sub-processes are triggered by Batch, Online, and Security
Incidents, respectively. In the initial stages of
the incident management sub-processes, an Incident Alert is shared with the other System Ops
processes by posting it to the Alert Buffer.
Batch Ops relies on a schedule that outlines all batch jobs and their dependencies. This schedule
serves two sub-processes: Batch Planning, which updates the schedule for use by the Execution
Management sub-process.
The Batch Ops process relies on a suite of interconnected applications to facilitate its operations.
Among these applications, the Batch Scheduler plays a vital role by allowing users to manage a
comprehensive database of jobs, job schedules, and
dependencies. It effectively launches batch jobs according to the information stored in the database.
Working in conjunction with the Batch Scheduler, the Batch Monitor application utilizes the job
schedules as a reference point to monitor job execution. It identifies any exceptional conditions that
may arise during the execution process. To ensure
effective handling of these exceptions, the Batch Monitor communicates the information to both the
Batch Scheduler and the Incident Handler applications through the previously mentioned Alert
Buffer.
The Incident Handler application operates based on a defined set of business rules. It uses these
rules to determine the relevant systems and individuals that need to be notified in the event of each
incident. Subsequently, the Incident Handler
application generates appropriate notifications according to these determinations.
Recognizing the criticality of the Batch Scheduler, Batch Monitor, and Incident Handler applications,
ArchiSurance has implemented redundant hosting arrangements across multiple geographically
distributed data centers. In each data center,
these three applications are supported by fully redundant virtual server clusters. Each cluster is
connected to two site local area networks, both of which are further linked to separate storage array
hardware devices.
Refer to the scenario
As part of an IT service management initiative, you have been assigned the task to show how
applications and technology support the Batch Ops process. This should show the relationships
between the applications, their functions, the data
they access, and the technology that hosts the applications and data, along with the networks that
connect the servers. It is only necessary to model a single data center.

Question 2/102/10
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
The ArchiSurance senior management, board members, customers, and major stockholders have
expressed long-standing concerns regarding the business continuity risks associated with relying on a
single data center. Located in an area prone
to flooding, earthquakes, and occasional water leaks from the cafeteria above, the current data
center has significant vulnerabilities.
To address these concerns and mitigate the risks, ArchiSurance has developed a comprehensive plan
to relocate its existing data center to two separate ready-to-use data centers in different cities. As a
major undertaking, the approval of the
Board of Directors is required to proceed with the project.
The primary objectives of the data center move are to reduce the risk of business interruptions,
reduce both planned and unplanned downtime for critical applications, and provide reassurance to
ArchiSurance stakeholders. Ensuring minimal
disruption during the transition is crucial. However, several constraints make the planned migration
to the new data centers particularly challenging. Certain critical ArchiSurance applications cannot be
ofline for more than one hour, and any
planned downtime must be restricted to specific four-hour windows on weekends. Additionally, the
migration cannot take place during quarterly or year-end closing periods to avoid disrupting critical
processing operations.
ArchiSurance management has devised a multi-phase data center transformation program to
facilitate a smooth transition. Each phase is critical for establishing stable and fully functional data
center configurations throughout the transformation
process. The initial phase entails detailed scheduling and planning to develop a comprehensive
transformation plan aligned with ArchiSurance's timing and scheduling requirements. During the
second phase, ArchiSurance will procure the
necessary hardware and software for the new data centers, while also seeking refunds for the
hardware and software in the current data center once it is decommissioned. The third phase
involves setting up the new data centers and conducting
parallel testing of the new hardware and software alongside the existing production environment.
The transition between the old and new data centers occurs in the fourth phase, followed by the fifth
phase, which is the decommissioning of the old
data center. This involves returning the hardware and software to obtain the contracted refunds.
Each phase, from the second to the fifth, is initiated once specific conditions outlined in the previous
phase have been met.
Refer to the Scenario
The program manager overseeing the data center transformation has asked you to model an outline
of the implementation plan which has three stable states defined. You should show the deliverables
associated with each plateau in connection
with the physical elements. Additionally, you need to show how each phase contributes to achieving
a stable state for the data center transformation.

The ArchiSurance Mobile consumer solution is used for selling and renewing insurance products,
providing customer service, enabling accurate and convenient home recordkeeping, and capturing
and processing claims. The solution consists of
three applications. The Consultant application lets customers review their existing coverage, and
update it based on common life events, such as getting a new car, moving into a new home, or
having a family member move in or out. If necessary,
they can speak or chat with a customer service representative. The Home Manager application helps
customers photograph and catalogue their valuable possessions in order to support the filing of
accurate claims in case of loss or damage. The
Claim Manager application enables customers to quickly file a claim for loss or damage to an insured
auto, home or possession. It enables customers to describe the incident by referencing information
captured with the Consultant and the Home
Manager applications. In addition, it allows the customer to add photographs, audio, video and text
to support a claim, submit the claim, and monitor its progress.
The ArchiSurance Mobile applications rely on a number of application services hosted by
ArchiSurance. The first is an Auto Identification and Description (AID) service that the Consultant
application uses to validate and complete auto information
entered by customers. The second service, Home Identification and Description (HID) performs the
same function for home information, and is used by the Home Manager application. The Consultant
application also uses the Virtual Agent
service to guide customers as they select coverage options, the Payment Processor service to arrange
premium payments, and the Coverage Activator service to generate policies and put them in force.
ArchiSurance Mobile also relies on a number of technology services. The Home Manager application
uses a Multimedia Repository service to store and retrieve information about insured homes. The
Claim Manager application also uses this
service for claim information entered by customers. All three ArchiSurance Mobile applications use a
Personal Security service to register and authenticate customers, and to manage their profiles.
Each application service is realized by an application component with the same name. Each
technology service is realized by a system software environment, having the same name.
ArchiSurance hosts both the application components and
system software environments in a virtualized server pool within its data center. Each service has its
own virtual server. Each virtual server is connected to a data center network (DCN) which in turn
connects to a commercial wide area network
(WAN).

ArchiSurance has decided to leverage its financial expertise by offering defined contribution
retirement plans. Each trading day, ArchiSurance submits consolidated mutual fund trading
transactions to a stock exchange on behalf of its retirement
plan participants.
The daily mutual fund trading cycle consists of four key processes: Transaction capture, pricing,
trading and reconciliation. Transaction capture consists of two sub-processes: manual exchange and
loans and distributions (L&D). For transaction
capture, retirement plan participants use an online account management application to enter
manual fund exchange transactions. For L&D, plan participants use a separate application to enter
requests. The L&D application determines whether
the request can be fulfilled based on the mutual fund balances held in each plan balances and a set
of business rules. Each day's captured manual exchange transactions accumulate in a transaction
database.
ArchiSurance contracts with a third-party information service to receive a file of mutual fund prices
at the close of each trading day. The pricing application uses this file to convert captured transaction
into trades, and then validates each trade
against the mutual fund balances held in each plan. The pricing application generates a trade file
with the minimum number of trades necessary. The trading application sends this file to an external
trading service. When the trading application
receives a confirmation file back from the trading service, it causes the reconciliation application to
update the plan recordkeeping database.
The account management and L&D applications are hosted on separate application server clusters.
Each cluster is a physically separate host that runs application server software on a set of virtualized
hosts. All of these applications use a
database server infrastructure that is hosted on another separate cluster of virtualized servers also
on a dedicated physical host. The pricing, consolidation, trading and reconciliation applications,
however, are batch applications that run on the
ArchiSurance mainframe computer. All application hosts are connected via a converged data center
network (DCN), which also connects them to a storage area network (SAN) as well as a wide area
network (WAN) that is used to communicate
with the external trading service. The SAN includes two physically separate storage arrays, one of
which holds data for all databases, and another that holds data for all files.
Refer to the Scenario
The systems analysts would like to better understand the business processes and applications for
daily fund trading. You have been asked to describe the business processes and sub-processes, the
applications that they use, the data objects

ArchiAir Catering Services (ACS) manages the catering services for ArchiAir, a leading airline. ACS is
the sole catering supplier for all ArchiAir flights, and its services include full provisioning to the
aircraft.
Currently, ACS operates three central production facilities, supported by distribution hubs and local
pre-flight production facilities. The central production facilities are responsible for producing
standardized non-food materials (such as plates,
cutlery, and boxes), non-perishable food products, and key ingredients required by the local
production facilities. These materials are subsequently distributed to the distribution hubs, which
also serve as warehouses for the local production
facilities. Within the local production facilities, multiple production machines are utilized, each
featuring dedicated workstations for chefs and quality inspectors. Most of the local production
facilities employ fully automated assembly lines, including
built-in packaging stations. The loaded service trolleys are then transported to the aircraft using small
lorries.
In response to investor pressure for ArchiAir to reduce its carbon footprint, the CEO of ACS has
announced a plan to address this environmental concern. Subsequently, the Ministry of Social
Welfare and Health has enacted a law mandating a
reduction in CO2 emissions from all production facilities by the end of the year. Additionally, the
airline's decision to raise ticket prices due to escalating fuel costs has led to a decrease in passenger
numbers. This, in turn, impacts the volume of
non-food materials required from ACS. An intemal investigation has produced a report highlighting
the potential benefits of centralizing production facilities and reducing the number of distribution
centers. Such changes would result in lower CO2
emissions while still effectively meeting all the requirements of ArchiAir.
In addition to evaluating its supply chain to reduce its carbon footprint, ArchiAir is taking proactive
steps to achieve a net zero carbon footprint for its IT operations. The Chief Information Officer (CIO)
has identified two crucial requirements to
support this endeavor. The first requirement involves switching to renewable energy for ACS
facilities, which are often located in remote areas where traditional fuels are the primary source of
energy. To align with sustainability goals, ArchiAir aims
to transition these facilities to renewable energy sources. By utilizing renewable energy, ArchiAir can
significantly reduce its reliance on traditional fuels and contribute to a greener operation. The
second requirement pertains to the scalability of
ArchiAir's IT operations, taking into account the airline's susceptibility to seasonal changes in
demand. The CIO has observed notable disparities between sites that have additional blade servers
and can scale their capacity, and sites that solely
rely on the two mainframes housed in central facilities. A comprehensive report has revealed that
the blade servers have a negligible impact on resource waste, whereas the mainframes are notorious
for their power inefficiency, particularly during
periods of low demand.

Question 7/107/10
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
ArchiCar has been a market leader in the premium priced luxury car sector for the last decade. Its
product leadership strategy has brought superior products to market, and enabled ArchiCar to
achieve premium prices for its cars. This strategy has
been widely successful in the past, but recently competitors have been offering comparable products
and taking significant market share. The governing board of ArchiCar has identified opportunities in
emerging markets where the ArchiCar brand
is associated with luxury and high performance products, but is thought to be too expensive for
mass-market success. Based on this assessment, the board has made the decision to setup a
subsidiary company to mass-produce affordable cars
locally. This will be achieved by focusing on a strategy of operational excellence. Such a strategy is
ideal for such markets where customers value cost over other factors.
To facilitate this strategic transformation, the project has been divided into multiple phases within a
five-year program. The initial phase, known as "Achieving Operational Excellence," is underway. The
engineering team has begun devising an
action plan to drive the necessary changes and outlining the technological conditions that must be
met. The product architect has identified three current capabilities - industry-leading engineering,
high-quality materials sourcing, and cutting-edge
focussed R&D - along with their contributions to the new production philosophy.
Moving forward, it has been determined that two out of the three current capabilities require
revision. Materials sourcing needs to be adjusted to meet optimization demands, and R&D targets
must align with future goals to enable affordable
production. Additionally, process engineering is introduced as a fourth capability to shift the
company's focus from products to a process-oriented approach.
The Enterprise Architecture team has been tasked with migration planning, and identifying key work
packages and deliverables. They have identified two transition states between the current and future
scenario. The first transition aims to adjust
current capabilities, including revising the R&D approach and procurement strategy. The second
transition aims to shift from a product-centric mindset to a process-focused approach and adjust
materials sourcing accordingly. It is important to
consider existing supplier contracts that cannot be immediately canceled during this process.
The Enterprise Architecture team has identified that the second transition must implement a process
framework, in order to shift to a process focus and meet a number of requirements, including the
requirement for end-to-end process thinking. As
this requirement impacts procurement processes, it also impacts the procurement strategy.
Refer to the Scenario
You have been asked to model parts of the overall scenario, including migration planning, the
motivations driving the migration, and the work packages necessary to achieve the desired
deliverables.

mass-market success. Based on this assessment, the board has made the decision to setup a
subsidiary company to mass-produce affordable cars
locally. This will be achieved by focusing on a strategy of operational excellence. Such a strategy is
ideal for such markets where customers value cost over other factors.
To facilitate this strategic transformation, the project has been divided into multiple phases within a
five-year program. The initial phase, known as "Achieving Operational Excellence," is underway. The
engineering team has begun devising an
action plan to drive the necessary changes and outlining the technological conditions that must be
met. The product architect has identified three current capabilities - industry-leading engineering,
high-quality materials sourcing, and cutting-edge
focussed R&D - along with their contributions to the new production philosophy.
Moving forward, it has been determined that two out of the three current capabilities require
revision. Materials sourcing needs to be adjusted to meet optimization demands, and R&D targets
must align with future goals to enable affordable
production. Additionally, process engineering is introduced as a fourth capability to shift the
company's focus from products to a process-oriented approach.
The Enterprise Architecture team has been tasked with migration planning, and identifying key work
packages and deliverables. They have identified two transition states between the current and future
scenario. The first transition aims to adjust
current capabilities, including revising the R&D approach and procurement strategy. The second
transition aims to shift from a product-centric mindset to a process-focused approach and adjust
materials sourcing accordingly. It is important to
consider existing supplier contracts that cannot be immediately canceled during this process.
The Enterprise Architecture team has identified that the second transition must implement a process
framework, in order to shift to a process focus and meet a number of requirements, including the
requirement for end-to-end process thinking. As
this requirement impacts procurement processes, it also impacts the procurement strategy.

Question 8/108/10
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
The ArchiSurance enterprise document management solution includes a sophisticated ecosystem of
applications and technologies. Designed with a strong emphasis on high availability, it plays a vital
role in providing support for a diverse range of
document types and managing a substantial volume of document-based transactions on a daily
basis. Recognizing its importance to the business, the document management solution is
redundantly hosted at two geographically separate data
center sites, both configured identically for seamless operations.
The system software at the core of the document management solution is comprised of three key
modules. The Document Engine serves as a repository, facilitating document storage, retrieval, and
various other operations. The Workflow Engine
acts as a host for document management applications, while the Application Engine powers the most
advanced and sophisticated applications within the system.
Two key factors have driven the Architecture Board's approval of a project aimed at updating this
critical solution. Firstly, the supplier of the Workflow Engine has given notice of the end of support
for the current software version, necessitating an
upgrade. Secondly, the system administrator responsible for the Application Engine has flagged the
need for hardware replacement on the server where the software is currently running. Given that the
Claim Management application shares
infrastructure with the Application Engine, the involvement of the system administrator responsible
for this application is crucial in the project planning and execution.
Refer to the Scenario
You are the Enterprise Architect within this organization. You have been assigned the task of
modeling the applications and technology for this solution, as well as outlining the motivations
driving the need for its update.

The ArchiSurance enterprise document management solution plays a crucial role in supporting a
large number of document types and managing a high volume of document-based transactions each
day. Given its business-critical nature, the document
management solution is hosted redundantly across two geographically separate data center sites:
Site A and Site B. Both sites are configured identically to ensure seamless operations.
Each site has a highly available data center network (DCN) that connects to the resilient ArchiSurance
wide area network (WAN). Each claim management server is connected to its respective site's DCN,
forming a converged network that interconnects
servers and storage arrays. A dedicated physical storage array is allocated to the claim management
application within each DCN. Additionally, each site houses four powerful physical servers exclusively
dedicated to the claim management application.
Among these servers, one remains on standby at any given time, while the other three take on
specific roles in hosting the document, workflow, and application engines.
The standby server is responsible for monitoring the behavior of the other servers, providing a
logging and reporting service. The active servers regularly transmit data to facilitate this monitoring
functionality. In the event of a server failure, the standby
server steps in to perform resource reallocation, replacing the faulty server. However, this task
requires manual intervention from a system administrator to reconfigure the logging and reporting
service to adapt to the new environment.
Refer to the Scenario
The IT manager has asked you to model the hardware and networks that support the document
management solution. This includes capturing the infrastructure components such as data center
sites, servers, storage, and networks. Additionally, you
are expected to outline the necessary functionality and services required to enable failover within a
server cluster. Given that both data centers share an identical configuration, it is sufficient for Site B
to only show the associated networking.

Question 10/1010/10
Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
The ArchiSurance senior management, board members, customers, and major stockholders have
expressed long-standing concerns regarding the business continuity risks associated with relying on a
single data center. Located in an area prone to
flooding, earthquakes, and occasional water leaks from the cafeteria above, the current data center
has significant vulnerabilities.
To address these concerns and mitigate the risks, ArchiSurance has developed a comprehensive plan
to relocate its existing data center to two separate ready-to-use data centers in different cities. As a
major undertaking, the approval of the Board of
Directors is required to proceed with the project.
The primary objectives of the data center move are to reduce the risk of business interruptions,
reduce both planned and unplanned downtime for critical applications, and provide reassurance to
ArchiSurance stakeholders. Ensuring minimal disruption
during the transition is crucial. However, several constraints make the planned migration to the new
data centers particularly challenging. Certain critical ArchiSurance applications cannot be ofline for
more than one hour, and any planned downtime must
be restricted to specific four-hour windows on weekends. Additionally, the migration cannot take
place during quarterly or year-end closing periods to avoid disrupting critical processing operations.
ArchiSurance management has devised a multi-phase data center transformation program to
facilitate a smooth transition. Each phase is critical for establishing stable and fully functional data
center configurations throughout the transformation process.
The initial phase entails detailed scheduling and planning to develop a comprehensive
transformation plan aligned with ArchiSurance's timing and scheduling requirements. During the
second phase, ArchiSurance will procure the necessary hardware and
software for the new data centers, while also seeking refunds for the hardware and software in the
current data center once it is decommissioned. The third phase involves setting up the new data
centers and conducting parallel testing of the new
hardware and software alongside the existing production environment. The transition between the
old and new data centers occurs in the fourth phase, followed by the fifth phase, which is the
decommissioning of the old data center. This involves
returning the hardware and software to obtain the contracted refunds. Each phase, from the second
to the fifth, is initiated once specific conditions outlined in the previous phase have been met.
Refer to the Scenario
The IT department's leader has assigned you the task of creating a model to explain the rationale
behind Archisurance's decision to transform its data center infrastructure. The model should show
the concerns and motivations of the stakeholders
involved. Additionally, it should outline the specific goals to be achieved through the data center
transformation program, the associated deliverables, and the limitations that must be considered
throughout the program's implementation.
