Concerns
-
reliability (power failures, hardware failures, high load)
-
maintainability (unplanned outages, trouble shooting, software and hardware upgrades)
-
lifetime (vendor support for devices, technologies, potential for increased capacities)
-
cost (major factor; initial, maintenance, manpower)
