System Design Strategies Now Available Online

The latest version of the System Design Strategies document from Dave Peters is now available online.

This System Design Strategies documentation was developed and maintained to share our system architecture design methodology and the fundamental principles that contribute to system performance and scalability. The System Design Strategies 26th Edition was released in August 2009 – the last PDF version of the complete document.

The System Design Strategies content was published on the ESRI wiki.gis.com site in March 2010 – the first "living" online publication. The wiki technology provides a more adaptive publishing framework than what was available with static PDF documents – an opportunity to maintain and share much richer content in a timely manner. The System Design Strategies wiki site can be maintained as a current resource for System Architecture Design Strategies – updated on a monthly basis to keep pace with technology.

Over the years this document has grown as technology has evolved. The last PDF version was ~ 22 MB. A rather big file with hundreds of pages. With the latest version available on a wiki, readers can reference bits and pieces with attribution as well as search for content more easily and efficiently. This could also mean more frequent updates to this document which will really help those looking at implementing the latest solutions.
