NOTE: Although separate roles are listed, an organization may have one person performing
many roles or many people performing the same role. For example, a storage array management
team and a SAN management team may each have a person acting as storage architect. The
initial order of operations remains the same no matter who performs them. Roles can be customized
to fit the specific needs of the organization and environment.
