Overview
Northwind Traders is an IT services and hosting provider.
Northwind Traders has two main data centers in North America. The data centers are located in the
same city. The data centers connect to each other by using high-bandwidth, low-latency WAN links. Each
data center connects directly to the Internet.
Northwind Traders also has a remote office in Asia that connects to both of the North American data
centers by using a WAN link. The Asian office has 30 multipurpose servers.
Each North American data center contains two separate network segments. One network segment is
used to host the internal servers of Northwind Traders. The other network segment is used for the
hosted customer environments.

The network contains an Active Directory forest named northwindtraders.com. The forest contains a
single domain. All servers run Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server Environment
The network has the following technologies deployed:
 Service Provider Foundation
 Windows Azure Pack for Windows Server
 System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM)
 An Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) cluster
 An Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) enterprise certification authority (CA)
All newly deployed servers will include the following components:
 Dual 10-GbE Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA)-capable network adapters
 Dual 1-GbE network adapters

Requirements
Business Goals
Northwind Traders will provide hosting services to two customers named Customer1 and Customer2.
The network of each customer is configured as shown in the following table.

Planned Changes

 For Customer 1, install server authentication certificates issued by the CA of Northwind Traders
on the virtual machine in the hosting networks.General Requirements
Northwind Traders identifies the following requirements:
 Storage traffic must use dedicated adapters.
 All storage and network traffic must be load balanced.
 The amount of network traffic between the internal network and the hosting network must be
minimized.
 The publication of CRLs to CDPs must be automatic.
 Each customer must use dedicated Hyper-V hosts.
 Administrative effort must be minimized, whenever possible.
 All servers and networks must be monitored by using Operations Manager.
 Anonymous access to internal file shares from the hosting network must be prohibited.
 All Hyper-V hosts must use Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) shared storage to host virtual
machines.
 All Hyper-V storage and network traffic must remain available if single network adapter fails.
 The Hyper-V hosts connected to the SMB-based storage must be able to make use of the
RDMA technology.
 The number of servers and ports in the hosting environment to which the customer has access
must be minimized.
Customer1 Requirements
Northwind Traders identifies the following requirements for Customer1:
 Customer1 must use SMB-based storage exclusively.
 Customer1 must use App Controller to manage hosted virtual machines.
 The virtual machines of Customer1 must be recoverable if a single data center fails.
 Customer1 must be able to delegate self-service roles in its hosted environment to its users.
 Customer1 must be able to check for the revocation of certificates issued by the CA of
Northwind Traders.
 The users of Customer1 must be able to obtain use licenses for documents protected by the AD
RMS of Northwind Traders.
 Certificates issued to the virtual machines of Customer1 that reside on the hosted networks
must be renewed automatically.
Customer2 Requirements
Northwind Traders identifies the following requirements for Customer2:
 Customer2 must use iSCSI-based storage exclusively.
 All of the virtual machines of Customer2 must be migrated by using a SAN transfer.
 None of the metadata from the virtual machines of Customer2 must be stored in Windows
Azure.
 The network configuration of the Hyper-V hosts for Customer2 must be controlled by using
logical switches. The only VMM network port profiles and classifications allowed by Customer2 must be lowbandwidth, medium-bandwidth, or high-bandwidth.
