Explanation:
Topic 2, Blue Yonder Airlines (!!!one scenario legend!!!)
Company Overview
Blue Yonder Airlines is a large, aircraft service company that has 1,850 employees.Physical Locations
The company has a main office and a branch office. The main office is located in New York. The branch office is located in San Francisco.
The main office has 1,500 users. The branch office has 300 users.
The company has a public relations department that has 50 users. All of the public relations users work remotely.Existing Environment
The network contains an Active Directory domain named blueyonderairlines.com. All servers run Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
A Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host) server named RD_Server is deployed to the perimeter network. RD_Server is accessible from the Internet.
The network contains eight application servers. Each application server is configured to have a dedicated logical unit number (LUN) on a Storage Area Network (SAN). The application servers are configured to start from the SAN.
Each application server is managed by a different application administrator. The application servers each have a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that is accessible through a Web interface. The administrators use the BMC remotely to turn on and turn off the servers.
The network contains 1,800 client computers that run the 64-bit version of Windows 7.
The public relations users use their own personal computer. Each personal computer runs either the 32-bit version of Windows XP Professional or the 32-bit version of Windows Vista.Requirements
Corporate Requirements
Blue Yonder Airlines has the following business requirements:
– Reduce power consumption.
– Minimize software and hardware costs.
– Minimize administrative effort whenever possible.Application Requirements
All of the client computers on the internal network have an application named Internal_App installed. Intemal_App is a 32-bit application that only runs on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
Internal_App is published as a RemoteApp on RD_Server. The public relations users access Internal_App by using Remote Desktop Services (RDS).Planned Changes
A new application named Business_App will be deployed to the network. You gather the following information about the Business_App deployment:
– Business_App is a 64-bit application.
– Business_App must be updated every week.
– Internal_App and Business_App cannot be installed on the same client computer.
– The public relations users will access Business_App by using RDS on RD_Server.
– All corporate users must be able to run Business_App when their client computer is disconnected from the network.Blue Yonder Airlines plans to consolidate the application servers on Hyper-V. Blue Yonder Airlines wants to minimize the time it takes to convert the servers to virtual machines (VMs).
Before the conversion, a utilization report for the application servers must be generated for capacity planning. The following data must be gathered in the report;
– CPU utilization
– Memory utilization
– Disk I/O utilization
