areas:

Technical architecture includes items such as platform choices,
deployment tiers, and I/O subsystem design, but it really involves
more than just hardware. A key input to creating a workable
technical architecture is understanding the business needs and
fitting the architecture to the business, not the other way around.
The following is a list of some of the key issues to consider when
designing a technical architecture:
 | Define scope and objectives |
| Prepare an architecture strategy |
| Establish requirements |
| Develop a conceptual model |
| Conduct an architectural baseline |
| Define system availability requirements |
| Define any future application requirements |
| Develop a reporting strategy |
| Refine the conceptual architecture |
| Define architecture subsystems |
| Propose architecture subprojects |
| Design application security architecture |
| Design application functional architecture |
| Design logical application and database architecture |
| Design physical database architecture |
| Design hardware and network architecture |
| Develop system capacity plan |
| Assess performance risks |
| Design system management procedures |
