Spring 2014 What's New in System Design Strategies 34th Edition.

This chapter identifies System Design Strategies content changes since June 2013. Content identifies changes since release of the System Architecture Design Strategies 10.2 course documentation. Changes after July 2014 will be included in the following editions.

The SDSwiki Table of Contents at top and bottom of each SDSwiki page now includes links to the Preface (executive summary) and SDSwiki What’s New content.

City of Rome

City of Rome analysis was updated using the Arc13CapacityPlanning0101 CPT release. The CPT upgrade modified Web service times, resulting in some reduction in Server workflow response times and slight increase in Server workflow throughput. Updated CPT figures are identified in the links that follow:

Capacity Planning Tool

Capacity Planning Tool (CPT) appendix provides CPT demonstrations of system design content introduced in each SDSwiki chapter. Hyperlinks connect SDSwiki chapter content with CPT demonstrations included in this appendix. CPT demostrations have been updated with the Arc13CapacityPlanning0201 release.

The Arc13CPT0201 includes reduced web service times to represent Web Adaptor loads for ArcGIS 10.1 and 10.2 Server workflows. GIS Server 10.1 release includes previous Web processing functions at the Server SOC level, showing some improved overall Server performance. Results with the new CPT show slightly improved Server workflow response times and slightly increased throughput over previous releases.
