Located some great guides whose goal is to assist the reader through the process of planning a SharePoint Server 2010 infrastructure by addressing the following:
Step 1: Identify the Requirements
Step 2: Apply the IT Policies
Step 3: Define the High-Level Architecture
Step 4: Design the Web Server Infrastructure
Step 5: Design the Application Server Infrastructure
Step 6: Design the SQL Server® Infrastructure
Step 7: Identify the Optimization Opportunities

The first guide takes the architect through an easy-to-follow planning and design process to successfully create a SharePoint Server infrastructure that is appropriately placed, sized, and designed to deliver the desired business benefits, while also considering the performance, capacity, and fault tolerance of the system.
