The requirements went beyond duplicating legacy functionality and business logic; the target system had to meet or exceed performance benchmarks of the multi-virtual storage environment. The solution architecture prioritized performance, paying specific attention to redundancy, recovery and database availability, which helped to enable the implementation of Agile software development and created opportunities for IT to deliver new, value-added services to the business.
