== LAMP Proposal ==

Discussion points, not in any particular order:

=== Live Production Systems ===
Following details are required:
  * Number of users
  * Hours of use during the day
  * Peak or sensitive periods
  * Level of activity (transactions per day)
  * Quality of service
    1. Speed of response for a user
    1. Speed of restore after failure
    1. Turn around time for a support request
  * Type of data stored and usage
  
=== VM's and Applications ===
To keep applications separate, it would be a good idea to have one application per VM.

Is this a good idea? Can anyone see variations on this? For example:
  * Does it apply to test systems?
  * Does it apply to dev systems (eg: TRAC, svn)?

=== Managed versus Capacity only Systems ===
This is my (Jeff's) understanding of this. "Managed" is seen from an RCS point of view. That is: 
  * A "Managed" system would be one managed by RCS.
  * A "Capacity Only" one is seen as being managed elsewhere. RCS supplies only the capacity.

I'm not sure exactly what this would mean in practice. Perhaps it's just a rule of thumb. But there are important considerations behind this...
