Define Migration Stages
Does you propose deploying a single stage (one hardware/software package at all sites), or significantly different packages at different sites?
Single stage migration. |
|
Multiple stage migration. |
Describe the hardware and / or software package(s) you propose to deploy.
(If complex, provide a network diagram. If multiple stages, provide multiple diagrams.)
Estimate how long it will take to deploy these network elements.

Describe Hardware and Software Decisions
If new hardware or software is being deployed, describe those network elements in detail here. Use the checklist as a guideline. Ignore any checklist areas not relevant to your project.
Describe Required Vendor Service Changes
Yes |
No |
Are any new or changes to existing vendor services (carrier, management, etc.) being considered? |
If yes, describe. Use the checklist as a guideline.
Define SLA's and Architecture Implications
Yes |
No |
Do the new network elements affect network capacity, usage, availability, performance, or any other form of service quality? |
If yes, describe. Use the checklist as a guideline.
Define Monitoring and Management Architecture
Yes |
No |
Do the new network elements change the monitoring architecture, or require any changes to the current monitoring system, the current routing/call processing/configuration databases, or the current trouble reporting procedures? |
If yes, describe. Use the checklist as a guideline.
Security Architecture
Yes |
No |
Do the new network elements change the security requirements, or current security procedures? |
If yes, describe. Use the checklist as a guideline.
Configuration and Name Standards
Yes |
No |
Do the new network elements change the configuration, addressing or naming standards? |
If yes, describe. Use the checklist as a guideline.
Financial Analysis
| Revised Estimated Total Cost | |
|---|---|
| Revised Estimated ROI (3 years) |
Other
Yes |
No |
Are there any other important parts of the architecture that should be described and reviewed (e.g. change management, naming and configuration inventories or databases)? |
If yes, describe.
