This paper presents methods for one of two key activities in the creation of practical distributed data processing (DDP) systems for business computing. The first activity, discussed in this paper, is to select a configuration of hardware and software to support the implementation of a multiapplication plan. The second, discussed in a companion paper, is to select data distribution and manipulation approaches for one application within the limits set by the results of the first activity. To establish a justification for the methods, the paper selects a definition of DDP, discusses the alternatives to DDP for reaching the objectives of the enterprise, and identifies the design issues to be solved or avoided in a practical system for a commercial establishment.
