__SHOWFACTBOX__<br />
A facility's/products adaptability, denoted as a single [[Has type::string]], determines how easy or difficult it will be to make a change to the setup of this facility/product. <br />
<br />
On the level of a single infrastructure facility, three aspects may be subject to adaptation:<br />
* Hardware<br />
* Software<br />
* Configuration<br />
<br />
Maximum adaptability is achieved when hardware, software and the configuration all can be adapted (typically a facility that is based on a server platform). Minimal adaptability is scored when no aspect or only the configuration can be adapted (which is often the case when a facility is based on an appliance). In between, several permutations do occur. <br />
<br />
On the product/pattern level, interoperability of the facilities that form this product/pattern is added as an aspect of adaptability. Interoperability is promoted by designing modular systems (using standard components), applying standardised protocols and tools and limiting the complexity of offered functionality.<br />
