Compute and workload requirements Evaluate processor, memory, GPU, and application requirements based on the services, analytics, processing, or other server workloads the system must support.
Storage and data requirements Determine capacity, performance, redundancy, and data retention requirements based on the volume of information the deployed infrastructure must process and maintain.
Networking and connectivity Consider network speeds, interfaces, port requirements, external connectivity, and how the server environment will communicate with users, systems, sensors, or other infrastructure.
Transport and deployment Evaluate system size, packaging, deployment frequency, power requirements, environmental conditions, and how quickly infrastructure must become operational after arrival.
