software costs must be minimized.
Contoso plans to open a small office in Beijing. System Center 2012 App Controller will be used to
manage applications. The display names of the applications will be in Simplified Chinese Pinyin IME.
New physical servers will be deployed by using System Center 2012 Configuration
Manager from a server named Servers. Servers will also be a PXE service point.
The current backup solution will be replaced with System Center 2012 Data Protection Manager
(DPM).
A public key infrastructure (PKI) will be deployed to issue and manage certificates. The PKI
deployment must be made as secure as possible.
Hardware load balancers will be deployed for use in the deployment of private cloud services.
Cloud Requirements
Contoso plans to implement a cloud solution that meets the following requirements:
• Stores all virtual machines on the SAN only.
• Uses SAN copy to provision the virtual machines.
• Provides the ability to manage the resolution of incidents.
• Contains managed virtual machines across both private and public clouds.
• Provides the ability to customize the settings of management packs provided by Microsoft.
• Collects security events from all of the servers running in the private cloud and provides
centralized reporting on the events.
App1 Requirements
A new application named App1 will be deployed to the private cloud. App1 is a three-tier application
that contains the following components:
• A front-end tier that runs a web server. The tier must be highly available and capable of
being quickly scaled out if required.
• A middle tier that runs an application server.
• A back-end tier that runs a database.
App2 Requirements
An application named App2 will be deployed to the public cloud. Users will be authenticated by
using the on-premises Active Directory. The users must be able to access App2 without being
prompted for authentication again.

Proseware identifies the following technical requirements for the implementation of a private cloud:
• All Hyper-V hosts must be added to a failover cluster automatically.
• The deployment of Hyper-V hosts to each data center must be automated.
• The implementation of the DPM infrastructure must meet the following requirements:
• Backups will be stored on an iSCSI SAN.
• Virtual machines in a running state must be backed up from their respective host.
• Administrators must be able to restore individual files from host backups on virtual
machines configured as file servers.
• The implementation of the Operations Manager 2012 infrastructure must meet the
following requirements:
• Operations Manager monitoring must not be affected if a single server fails.
• Existing data must be retained in the Operations Manager 2012 infrastructure.
• Existing agents must continue to report to Operations Manager during the upgrade process.
• All Operations Manager agents must report to a local management server in their respective
data center.
• The service desk in the Dublin data center must be able to view the status of the servers in
all of the data centers.
Administrative Requirements
Proseware identifies the following administrative requirements:
• An administrator must be notified when an error occurs on a server.
• An administrator must be able to assign errors to specific administrators for resolution.
• Errors that remain unresolved for more than 10 hours must be escalated automatically to
another administrator.
Planned Virtual Machines
The servers in each instance of App1 will be replaced with a set of virtual machines. The planned
changes must meet the following requirements:
• Each instance must be redeployed when a new version of App1 is released.
• Each instance of App1 must be installed by using the minimum amount of administrative
effort.
App2
An application named App2 is hosted on the virtual machines in a Windows Azure public cloud
infrastructure.
The performance and availability of the components of App2 must be monitored centrally.
Administrators must be able to modify the configurations of the App2 components.
App3
A service template will be used to deploy multiple instances of a multi-tier application named App3.
The vendor of App3 will provide updates to App3 every two months.
SQL Server Deployment Requirements
VMM administrators plan to deploy many virtual machines that have SQL Server deployed. The
administrators identify the following deployment options for the virtual machines:
• The virtual machines will host databases that will be created by using data-tier application
(DAC) packages.
• The virtual machines will have SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard deployed by using one of six
different configurations.
• The operating system for the virtual machines will be either Windows Server 2008 R2
Enterprise or Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.

Case Study: 3
Proseware Inc
Scenario
Proseware, Inc. is an international publishing company.
Proseware has four data centers and 80 offices. The data centers are located in Dallas, Dublin,
Bangalore, and Sydney. The offices are located worldwide.
Existing Environment
Network Infrastructure
The network contains a single-domain Active Directory forest named proseware.com. Each server
has a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) installed.
Database administrators in the Bangalore data center manage all of the SQL Server servers in the
data centers.
Dublin Data Center
The Dublin data center contains two servers. The servers are configured as shown in the following
table.
Operations Manager 2007 R2 agents are installed on all of the servers in the Dublin data center by
using the push installation method.
App1
Proseware uses a critical business application named Appl. Multiple instances of App1 are deployed
to each data center. Each instance of App1 consists of the following physical servers that run
Windows Server 2012:
• A database server that runs SQL Server 2008 R2
• Two web servers that are load balanced by using the Network Load Balancing
(NLB) feature. Each web server has a single network adapter.
New versions of App1 are released at least four times a year. When a new version of App1 is
released, all of the servers in App1 must be redeployed.
Requirements
Planned Changes
Proseware plans to deploy all System Center 2012 components. Proseware plans to implement the
following changes in each data center:
• Deploy a SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise failover cluster.
• Store all virtual machine data in a Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure.
• Deploy a highly available Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) environment.
• Deploy one physical server that has Data Protection Manager (DPM) deployed.
