To design a scalable NAP infrastructure, you must analyze the NAP server roles in your deployment and develop an implementation plan that considers several factors, including:

• Performance. Which type of resources are most used by each server role in your NAP deployment? How will you monitor performance?
  
  
• Roles. Do servers in your NAP deployment perform multiple functions? How does this affect performance?
  
  
• Availability. Do you require 100 percent availability for all server roles in your deployment?
  
  
• Access profile. When and where does your network experience peak activity? Is the activity consistent or does it change over time?
  
  
• Location. Are servers located in regional data centers or distributed to branch offices?
