'''Use this document as guidance to help complete SSC Appendix 3 slides'''
<br>
<br>
'''Security Profile, Availability, and Disaster Recovery Information:'''
<br>
'''Security Profile:''' Provide the security profile for the solution (eg. PBMM, PBHM, etc). If the solution includes multiple components with different security profiles, include all security profiles.
<br>
'''Maximum Allowable Unplanned downtime:''' provide expected maximum allowable downtime in hours per year if system is expected to run 24/7, or general availability hours if the system is expected to run during business hours and have downtime otherwise.
<br>
'''Availability requirements:''' Provide an estimate for availability requirements: Medium availability is 95%, High availability is >=99%
<br>
'''Disaster Recovery:''' select expected disaster recovery needs
<br>
:•	Hot Site: Facility and equipment are set up and ready to go, with either synchronous or asynchronous data replication. It is available and running 24/7.
:•	Warm Site: Equipment is available and configured. Latest application data must loaded or restored.
:•	Cold Site: Available space/facility where you need to set up the equipment, connectivity, load the software and data.
:•	None: best effort disaster recovery.
<br>
'''Authentication:''' select the authentication method from the options below. DCAM, ICM/ECM, or Sign in Canada are the preferred methods:
<br>
:•	DCAM (Active Directory solution using ADFS)
:•	ICM/ECM – GCKey, MyKey
:•	Sign in Canada 
:•	Other: Specify the authentication method if none of the above are being used. 
<br>
'''Hosting Solution:''' Specify all hosting options:
<br>
:o	End State Data Centre (specify EDC)
:o	Legacy Data Centre (specify specific data centre)
:o	Cloud – specify cloud solution
<br>
'''Workload Migration:''' Is any workload migrating out of legacy data centres: Yes/No
<br>
'''Network Details:'''
<br>
:•	'''Network Connectivity:''' Specify the network(s) the solution will use: eg. GCNet, Science Net, GCSI, etc.
:•	'''Solution Sensitivity to Network Delay:'''
:o	Very High (high quality or large number of voice, video and real-time streaming traffic)
:o	High (suitable for voice and video, sensitive synchronous applications such as Citrix)
:o	Medium (suitable for some synchronous applications)
:o	Low (suitable for asynchronous applications)
:o	Provide the minimum Required Bandwidth
•	'''Network Geographical Distribution:''' Specify the distribution of the solution:
:o	Low geographical spread (100 km or less) between application hosting and users
:o	Moderate geographical spread (500 km or less) between application hosting and users
:o	Regional geographical spread (up to 1500 km) between application hosting and users
:o	National geographical spread (Canada-wide) between application hosting and users
:o	Global spread between application hosting and users
•	'''Network Traffic:''' Select all applicable options for the kind of traffic expected over the network for this solution
:o	Video
:o	Audio
:o	Data
:o	Interactive (APIs)
Cloud Details:
:•	List the solution’s relevant Cloud Usage Profiles
:•	List the solution’s relevant Cloud Connection Patterns
:•	Is SCED Needed? Yes/No
:•	Has the department been prioritized? If Yes, on which architecture?
