 Assumtions and Discussion Topics
 License price for each deployment model
 How much capacity should we need for RAM cache in 2 deployment models ?
 Is there any problem if we use iSCSI for front end and FC HBA for back end in hybrid-
model
 How many licenses do we need at least for Windows Server (Datacore CVM, AD,
DNS, DHCP…), and what kind of license (standard or DC) ?
 How to use IOmeter to do some IOPS test cases for Datacore?
