Platform Flexibility Portable, rackmount, and workstation configurations can support permanent facilities, temporary installations, mobile operations, and remote deployments.
Computing Resources Processing, graphics, memory, storage, and display configurations can be aligned with analytical, visualization, communications, and data-intensive workloads.
Infrastructure Integration Networking, displays, peripherals, storage, communications equipment, and existing infrastructure can shape the required configuration.
Deployment Requirements Facility constraints, mobility, available space, connectivity, power, and installation requirements should be evaluated before platform selection.
Operations Centers Support coordinated workflows involving multiple information sources, communications, visualization, and operational decision-making.
Data & Analysis Provide computing resources for visualization, mapping, analytical processing, data review, and other information-intensive government workflows.
Mobile Operations Extend computing, communications, and information access into vehicles, temporary facilities, and other locations outside permanent infrastructure.
Communications Infrastructure Integrate computing with networking, communications equipment, storage, displays, and other systems supporting distributed operations.
MISSION Operational Function Identify the workflows, applications, users, and data requirements the computing platform will support.
INTEGRATION Existing Infrastructure Define how the system must connect with existing networks, displays, peripherals, storage, and agency infrastructure.
DEPLOYMENT Installation Requirements Consider whether the platform will operate in a permanent facility, mobile environment, temporary installation, or remote location.
