According to TOGAF, Which of the following best describes the classification of architectural change in the case where multiple server systems are being consolidated to a single system?
According to TOGAF, consolidating multiple server systems into a single system is considered a simplification change that is handled via change management techniques. This type of change typically affects the infrastructure level and aims to streamline operations without fundamentally altering higher layers of the architecture.
15.5.3 TOGAF 9.2: "If the change is at an infrastructure level — for example, ten systems reduced or changed to one system — this may not change the architecture above the physical layer, but it will change the Baseline Description of the Technology Architecture; this would be a simplification change handled via change management techniques"
TOGAF 9.1 book, section 16.2.2 – “Another way of looking at these three choices is to say that a simplification change to an architecture is often driven by a requirement to reduce investment; an incremental change is driven by a requirement to derive additional value from existing investment; and a re-architecting change is driven by a requirement to increase investment in order to create new value for exploitation.” Its E sorry
Isn't the correct answer would be re-architecting when multiple systems get consolidated to a single?
Yes i think so
No... refers to section 16.2.2
