Phase I: Test and Validate
Capacity Planning – How much hardware do I need?
Is my storage fast enough?
How many users can I run on each server?
Performance Comparison – What’s the right configuration for me?
Which OS or Office version runs best in my environment?
Where should I run my antivirus software?
Which UEV tool should we use?
Change Management – how will a change impact my design?
Service packs, updates, etc.
