Hi,

I'm working on an ArchiMate repository at the business, application and infra/tech layers. A 

Nodes are used to model the servers and the IT architecture team would like to manage the servers resources with common elements e.g. a list of CPUs (2.4 Ghz, 4.7 GHz, etc.), RAM (e.g. 8GB, 16GB, etc.).

Looking at the ArchiMate specifications, the nearest matching concept is the Artifact. Even though common examples (executable file, data file)don't match, the following is true : 

An artifact represents a “physical” element in the IT world

A node may be assigned to an artifact to model that the artifact is deployed on the node

I have a feeling that a Node's CPU, RAM is usually adressed with properties (via tagged values with a custom stereotype), but the aim here is to use relationships (node Server1  is assigned to CPU 2.4GHz, whereas node Server 3 and Server 4 are assigned to CPU 4.7GHz).

Any feedback, thoughts on this ? Do you have any experience to share on how such node "resources" can be modelling using ArchiMate ?

Thanks

I tend to answer such questions if mailed directly to me
