+Objectives / Scope
+-------------------
+
+The Pharos specification defines the OPNFV hardware environment
+upon which the OPNFV Brahmaputra platform release can be deployed
+on and tested. This specification defines:
+
+- A secure, scalable, standard and HA environment
+- Supports the full Brahmaputra deployment lifecycle (this requires a bare metal environment)
+- Supports functional and performance testing of the Brahmaputra release
+- Provides mechanisms and procedures for secure remote access to the test environment
+
+Deploying Brahmaputra in a Virtualized environment is possible
+and will be useful, however it does not provide a fully
+featured deployment and test environment for the Brahmaputra
+release of OPNFV.
+
+The high level architecture is outlined in the following diagram:
