Step Summary
The current File Services infrastructure was assessed in this step in order to define the scope of any redesign that might be required to accomplish the goals of the project. The following infrastructure components were identified:
The location, size, and type of files in the existing File Services infrastructure.
The servers that currently host these file resources.
Any special needs that may affect the design, such as file encryption.
This information was then shared with business stakeholders to validate their special needs and to help prioritize business requirements. It will be used in Step 3 to design the File Services infrastructure.
