A topology blueprint should be created and validated against these requirements.

Our licensing is annual, but I am unsure of the exact cost.
High price, now with Oracle cloud, there are more options of pricing.
This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view.
