System and installation requirements
Creating an installation plan helps you make sure the software
you install is able to meet your installation's requirements for software
function. However, software function alone will not meet all the
needs of your business, and there are other things you should consider
when planning to build a system, such as:
- Achieving efficient virtual storage mapping
- Achieving best application performance
- Building a minimum number of system software configurations
- Reducing installation and migration time
- Reducing the opportunities for error during migration
- Making it easy to manage the system after it is in production
- Minimizing migration actions for the people who use the system.
How you choose to meet all of these requirements can have a significant effect on how much work is required to perform the tasks associated with each stage. Keep these requirements in mind while reading this topic.
