Performance requirements Evaluate CPU, GPU, memory, and application requirements based on the workloads the system must support when operating away from traditional computing infrastructure.
Portability and deployment Consider how frequently the system will be transported, where it will be deployed, how quickly it needs to become operational, and the practical constraints of the intended environment.
Display and operator workflow Determine the number and arrangement of displays required for applications, data visualization, monitoring, analysis, and other operator workflows.
Connectivity and expansion Plan for networking, storage, peripheral connectivity, expansion cards, specialized interfaces, and external equipment required by the deployed application.
