You are an Enterprise administrator for contoso.com. All the servers on the network run either Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2003 servers and all client computers run Windows Vista.
The network contains a Windows Server 2003 server that runs Web-based application called WebApp1. You have been assigned the task to migrate the Web-based application to Windows Server 2008
To migrate the WebApp1, you need to prepare the server for the application. The server must support the installation of .NET applications and the server configuration must ensure that the application is available to all users if a single server fails in the minimum software cost? (Select two. Each correct answer will present a part of the answer)
A.
Install the full installation of Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition on two servers.
B.
Install the Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition on two servers.
C.
Install the full installation of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition on two servers.
D.
Install the full installation of Windows Server 2008 Web Edition on two servers.
E.
Configure the servers in a failover cluster.
F.
Configure the servers in a Network Load Balancing cluster.
G.
None of the above
Explanation:
To migrate the Web-based application to Windows Server 2008, you need to install the full installation of Windows Server 2008 Web Edition on two servers. Configure the servers in a Network Load Balancing cluster.
Network load balancing is native to all editions of Windows Server 2008. Unlike failover clustering, NLB does not require any special hardware,
Network load balancing (NLB), Windows Server 2008’s other high-availability alternative, enables an organization to scale server and application performance by distributing TCP/IP requests to multiple servers, also known as hosts, within a server farm. This scenario optimizes resource utilization, decreases computing time and ensures server availability. Typically, service providers should consider network load balancing if their customer situation includes, but is not limited to, Web server farms, Terminal Services farms, media servers or Exchange Outlook Web Access servers.
