Introduction

This guide details the design choices and requirements for the provision of network services.

Windows Server System Reference Architecture (WSSRA) is an integrated set of service solutions based on architectural guidance for typical enterprise scenarios. This guide covers the guidance for the Centralized Data Center (CDC) and Small Branch Office (SBO) scenarios.

As described in the Network Services Blueprint, the mechanisms for allocation and management of IP addresses can incorporate a combination of the following technologies:

Designing a network service includes the following design phases:

These phases are described in the Network Services Blueprint.

The technology choices made throughout the design process are required to meet specific service-level goals for criteria such as availability, security, and scalability. These design goals may be incorporated either implicitly or explicitly in the logical or physical design; where appropriate, sections in this guide describe how they were incorporated in the design.
