1 System Architecture:
The software architecture of a system is the set of structures needed to reason about the system, which comprise software elements, relations among them, and properties of both. The term also refers to documentation of a system's software architecture. Documenting software architecture facilitates communication between stakeholders, documents early decisions about high-level design, and allows reuse of design components and patterns between projects. The system architecture of Travel Itinerary Management System is Data Centered Architecture. These architectures have the goal of achieving the quality of inerrability of data. The term refers to systems in which the access and update of a widely accessed data store is their primary goal. Basically, it is nothing more than a centralized data store that communicates with a number of clients. Important for these styles are three protocols: communication, data definition and data manipulation protocol.

5.3 Server specification

y The server should fulfil minimum hardware requirements to host the system website, such as appropriate number of bus cards, sufficient LAN ports etc. Server should also have enough software provisions such as protection against hacking, phishing etc. Server side data encryption should be highly secure so as to avoid disclosure of data to unauthorised sources. Unauthorised access to server data should be highly guarded to prevent data loss and security malfunction. Heat sink and turbine coolant fan should have sufficient capability to help the server run without over-heating.
