Building a network architecture must answer to organization needs, but also to two major elements which are the need for dependability and performance. By performance, we must understand the ability to meet an immediate need and the ability to scale without reducing the performance of the whole as new elements are added to the network infrastructure. This last point is covered by Capacity Planning domain.
