situations. Safety-critical systems state changes must be modeled or prototyped to 
ensure that the software properly detects and executes corrective actions necessary 
to properly safeguard systems operational conditions.
11.2.9 
Identify data retention capacity requirements
The data storage capacity requirements for long-term data retention records must 
be specified. The operational or business model should be evaluated to determine 
the anticipated most-excessive amount of data records that would need to be sup-
ported for a given time period. Operational projections should be used to determine 
the periodic demand for data storage capacity. Factors that must be considered 
when preforming capacity planning are location of data storage facilities, data 
record retention duration, recovery of deleted data record storage space, and peri-
odic demand for new data record creation. The data retention capacity requirements 
will affect the software interaction with a database management system, as well as 
directly impact the configuration of the computing environment.
