So far, we have requirements, constraints, and assumptions mapping to design decisions, which map to infrastructure design qualities. In addition, you should ensure that each component in your design addresses each design quality. Typically, the vSphere design components are identified as follows:

• Compute
• Storage
• Network
• Virtual machine
• Management

So, a simple way to ensure a complete design is to build the following table, which maps each vSphere component to each infrastructure design quality. While building your design, you can check off the mapping of component to quality as you address it in your design. Don't expect to be able to fill in the table with a short description of how you approached each mapping. The topics should be far too large to do so. Rather, use the table as a reference to ensure that each area is addressed in your design:
