DB Strategy on MSSQL Server
In strategy what do you try to ask? 


RTO: Recovery time objective, how long do you have to restore data,
RPO: Recovery point objective, how much data are you allowed to lose when reverting to a restore,
SLA: How fast does it need to be and how are maintenance windows
managed between the data owners,
Features: What version of SQL server do you need, 
Data sizing: How much data will the system have in N years from now, do you have a storage strategy, RAM needs?,
Data retention: how long do you need to retain the data for legal compliance,
Users: Data sensitivity and authentication schemes that need to be supported,
Lineage: where does the data come from and where does it go.
Governance: who in the business (not IT) owns what data and has authority to grant and restrict access
PII: what is held and what uses have been agreed to
