| The
objectives of an architecture are often called, “non-functional
requirements” or “ilities”. Over the last decade,
our architectures have focused on the following ilities:
- Responsiveness – The
software’s ability to quickly respond to a users request
(e.g. edge caching)
- Scalability – Ability
to reasonably grow the capacity of the computing resource (e.g.

- Reliability – Insured
uptime (e.g. clustering)
- Deploy-ability – Ability
to easily (cost effective) deploy and re-deploy an application
(e.g. HTML)

The SOE embraces
the ilities of the last architecture and adds additional requirements:
