Physical View

Dr-Huma Hayat Khan


Overview
• How hardware and software work together
• Deployment diagrams are used to visualize the topology of the physical
components of a system where the software components are deployed.
• So deployment diagrams are used to describe the static deployment view
of a system. Deployment diagrams consist of nodes and their
relationships.
• The name Deployment itself describes the purpose of the diagram.
Deployment diagrams are used for describing the hardware components
where software components are deployed.
• so most of the UML diagrams are used to handle logical components
but deployment diagrams are made to focus on hardware topology of
a system. Deployment diagrams are used by the system engineers.
• The purpose of deployment diagrams can be described as:
• Visualize hardware topology of a system.
• Describe the hardware components used to deploy software components.
• Describe runtime processing nodes.
Steps to Create a Deployment Diagram:

1. Identify Hardware Nodes


• Determine the physical infrastructure needed for the system.
• Examples: Web server, database server, client device.

2. Map Software to Hardware


• Identify the software components (artifacts) to deploy on each node.
• Example: A web application on the web server, a database schema on the
database server.

3. Define Relationships
• Show communication paths between nodes.

• The following deployment diagram is a sample to give an idea of the
deployment view of order management system. Here we have shown
nodes as:
• Monitor
• Modem
• Caching server
• Server
Cont…
• The application is assumed to be a web based application which is
deployed in a clustered environment using server 1, server 2 and
server 3.
• The user is connecting to the application using internet. The control is
flowing from the caching server to the clustered environment.
• So the following deployment diagram has been drawn considering all
the points mentioned above:
