GlossaryIT Landscape
An IT-Landscape is the set of IT applications of an organisation together with the necessary IT infrastructure (from the host to the smartphone). Planning, analysis and monitoring of IT landscapes is the task of IT Management. An IT Landscape Model depicts an IT Landscape as layered sets of model elements and their interrelationships together. Important layers of an IT landscape model are the business layer (modeling business processes and business objects), the application layer (modeling IT services and their interfaces) and the physical layer (modeling the entities of the IT infrastructure, like servers and networks). IT landscape models are the basis for analysing an IT Landscape, e.g. concerning requirements to the availability of IT services or concerning the maturity of IT support of a business process. .
