Jack Doughty Nov 17, 2005:
I think data placement is a special case. See my answer, which refers only to that. I think it would have to be something to do with partitioning. Otherwise, I agree with Dave.
Dave Calderhead Nov 17, 2005:
and even systems and hardware components, because it can also involve the logical and physical security of systems and data for crucial business processes.
Dave Calderhead Nov 17, 2005:
Yes - finding or identifying the proper place or location for data, applications, processes, etc.
Elena Ghetti (asker) Nov 17, 2005:
many thanks for your help I need to find the basic meaning of placement as in Italian it can have many different translations, could it be placement = finding the proper place or destination for data, applications or whatever? the last sentence is the most strange to me, use data placement to access data sources??

placement or installation/utilisation

placement is the good term, because it referes to the placement of the application on systems and within the business/process strategy of the company.
You can see it as the installation or utilisation/implementation as stated subsequently in you context text

this also applies to the data for the application of course

you can also see placement as a synonym for location in some instances, especially when referring to data and data sources.

Thanks (:-{)>
agree Balaban Cerit : yes, "placement" as not only physical positioning / installing but also as utilisation within the business framework / the workflow. Maybe the first and last usage could be more connected with physical positioning of data

partitioning, placing of partitions

Found a definition of "data placement":

* placement of data partitions on storage media.

Peer comment(s):
agree Dave Calderhead : that applies to the data/programs, Jack, but I think in the context of the Application Placement model it is broader than partitioning.

Yes. I don't think there is a single answer for all the uses of "placement" here. I was just contributing one of them.
