Solution design — from requirements to architecture

The Solution Design Output

Once requirements are captured, the SE produces a solution design that connects requirements to a concrete deployment. The design typically includes: Architecture diagram (logical and physical) showing all NF instances, their relationships, deployment per region or data center, integration with existing infrastructure; Sizing rationale — per-NF capacity, expected load, headroom assumptions, growth model over the contract period; Hardware Bill of Materials (BoM) — specific server models, CPU/memory/NIC specs, count per role, vendor and pricing; Network topology — where NFs sit relative to each…
