Draft Document for Review February 7, 2020 3:15 pm 8464ch03_business requirements.fm 3 IBM TS7700 usage  considerations This chapter provides a general overview of the necessary information and considerations to  choose the best configuration for your needs.  The IBM TS7700 offers a great variety of configuration options, features, functions, and  implementation parameters. Many of the options serve different purposes, and their  interactions with other options can affect how they contribute to achieving your business  goals. For some environments, these features and functions are mandatory, whereas for other  environments, they only raise the level of complexity. There is no “one configuration and  implementation fits all needs” solution. Therefore, you need a plan to build an environment to  meet your requirements.  This chapter summarizes what to consider during the planning phase, especially for  introducing new features. It also provides some general suggestions about considerations for  the day-to-day operation of a TS7700 environment.
