How To Select An Infrastructure

• After performing a feasibility study to check the algorithmic part of the system, and after defining the architecture, came the part of choosing 3rd-party software tools.
• The first thing to do, was write a list of infrastructure software that will be needed.
• This list, of-course, cannot be written if you never developed such a system, and are not aware of various products that exist on the market (whether FOSS or proprietary it does not matter).
• Since I had experience with implementing similar architectures, I was given the task of writing the list.
