Establish the minimum supported configuration (MSC)

You need to formally define the minimum configuration your solution will viably support, including:

• Minimum hardware requirements
• Minimum software requirements
• Supported screen resolutions
• Minimum networking capabilities
• Maximum data volumes.

A formal MSC will:

• Inform decisions about the overall solution cost.
• Establish the environment required to test the deployment of the solution or any patch/hotfix made to it.
• Raise management's awareness of the risk in implementing a "sub-MSC" solution.
