Where is the data? Is there legacy data & transactions or will it be all new?

Where are my skills? What platforms do I already have?

Is the platform certified by the application vendor?

Is the application compute intense? Floating point?

Is the application data intense? Heavy I/O?

Scale up or scale out? Large single system image or “lots of little”.

What is the projected growth of the application? Does it align well with the product roadmap?

Now that you’ve narrowed it down, how do the Total Costs of Ownership compare?
