You work as a Server Administrator for company Inc. The company has its main branch in London
and two sub-branches in Tokyo and Paris. The company has 1,500 clients and a number of servers
that run Windows Server 2008 R2. You need to distribute workload across the cluster nodes for
supporting a larger number of simultaneous clients. What will you do to accomplish the task?
A.
Deploy Windows AIK.
B.
Use Network Load Balancing.
C.
Implement NIC teaming.
D.
Create a failover cluster.
Explanation:
In order to accomplish the task, you should use Network Load Balancing. Network Load Balancing
(NLB) is a clustering technology offered by Microsoft. In order to scale performance, it uses a
distributed algorithm to load balance network traffic across multiple hosts. It also ensures high
availability by detecting host failures and automatically redistributes traffic to operational hosts.D is incorrect. Failover clusters are a group of two or more severs that share a common set
of resources. This ensures data integrity and high availability. It has two types of nodes: the active
node and the passive node. The active node provides service to incoming connections. The passive
node provides service when an active node moves offline.A is incorrect. The Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK) is a set of tools and
documentation provided with Windows operating system. It supports the configuration and
deployment of Windows operating systems. Administrators can use Windows AIK for automating
Windows installations, capturing Windows images with ImageX, configuring and modifying images,
creating Windows PE images, and migrating user profiles and data. Windows AIK includes various
Windows tools such as Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT), Users State Migration Tools
(USMT), etc.C is incorrect. NIC teaming is used to group two or more physical NICs into a single logical
NIC. It is used to make a network fault tolerant.
