Abstract

A subsystem architecture is described that provides support services for software applications of a system. The subsystem architecture includes local infrastructure components, which provide infrastructure services to the software applications. Each local infrastructure component corresponds to a single software application and is independent from another of the local infrastructure components. The subsystem architecture may further include a central service component providing central services to at least one of the local infrastructure components. The central service component is independent and unaware of the local infrastructure components. Still further, the subsystem architecture may include an administrative component for monitoring and maintaining the local infrastructure components providing infrastructure services to the software applications. The administrative component is independent and unaware of the plurality of local infrastructure components.
