Step
Action
1
Use the Customer Sizing Worksheet in the Design Guide to collect customer
requirements.
2
Use the EMC VSPEX Sizing Tool to determine the recommended VSPEX reference
architecture for your end-user computing solution, based on the user
requirements collected in Step 1.
For more information about the Sizing Tool, refer to the EMC VSPEX Sizing Tool
portal.
Note: If the Sizing Tool is not available, you can manually size the application
using the guidelines in the Design Guide.
