Upgrade SQL03 from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2014 on Windows Server 2012 R2.
Migrate SQL01 and SQL02 to Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) on SQL Server 2014.
Leverage cloud services for a disaster recovery location and for high availability.
Replace Research Gen II with a cloud-based application named One Research. The database for this
application will be migrated to a cloud service.
Departmental RequirementsSenior research project leaders must be able to upload databases to the cloud. Initially, the databases will be
less than 3 GB. Some databases may grow to 50 GB. The databases must be recoverable to any point during
the past two weeks.
The research project leaders must monitor the performance of their databases. They must view statistics, such

All of the databases for the OLTP system must be implemented on solid state drives (SSDs).
A solution for the OLTP system must be created to provide disaster recovery and reporting between SQL01
and SQL02.
All databases, except for the research and marketing databases, must be recoverable to any point during
the last 30 days.
A solution for the data warehouse system must be created to provide disaster recovery between SQL03 and
