ARCHITECTURE DESIGN
An important component of the design phase is the architecture design, which describes the system's hardware, software, and network environment. The architecture design flows primarily from the nonfunctional requirements, such as operational, performance, security, cultural, and political requirements. The deliverables from architecture design include the architecture design and the hardware and software specification.
