Here are the things that I am going to cover in this design series. As each blog is written, I will update the links below to the other pages. The idea here is to create a live design book that can be referenced and updated for different types of use cases. This first one is ROBO. The areas that I will discuss are listed below.

• Use cases
• Node types
• Licensing
• Sizing
• Edge
• Mobile
• Tactical Data Centers
• Management
• Provisioning
• Hypervisors
• Single and dual node
• Networking
• Bandwidth
• Replication
• SD-WAN
• NFV
• VDI
• Re-use existing hardware
• Re-use existing storage
• Backup
• Cost
• Competitive outlook
• Risks
• External factors, (radiation, heat, water, etc.)
• Designing for each use case

Who are the people in the pictures you ask? None of them actually exist, but studies have proven than people would rather look at faces than technology. They were generated by a GAN (generative adversarial network). Learn how it works [1] [2] [3]
