Case Study: 2
World Wide Importers
Background
General Background
Wide World Importers plans to upgrade from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 to take
advantage of additional business intelligence (BI) services, including PerformancePoint
Services, PowerPivot for Excel, and SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 (SSRS). All users
are members of an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain.
Technical Background
The current environment integrates with a stand-alone instance of Microsoft SQL Server
2008 R2 Analysis Services (SSAS). Wide World Importers has acquired SQL Server 2012
licenses for the purpose of upgrading all the SQL Server instances to SQL Server 2012.
Business Requirements
The SharePoint 2013 environment and supporting back-end servers that run SQL Server must
be highly available and redundant in the case of unplanned downtime or a disaster.
Technical Environment
SharePoint 2013 Production Farm Topology
The SharePoint 2013 production farm topology consists of the servers listed in the following
table.

The Wide World Importers SharePoint 2013 environment has the following characteristics:
• A hardware load-balancer is configured to balance traffic
between PROD-WEB-01 and PROD-WEB-02.

• SSRS is installed on PROD-APP-01 in SharePoint integrated
mode.
• SSRS report databases are stored on PROD-DB-01.
• A site collection named Report Center has been created at
http:// reports.wideworldimporters.com.
• All SharePoint content and configuration databases are stored
on PROD-DB-01.
• All site collections have been migrated to a single content
database named WSS_Content.
• A content database named WSS_TempContent has been
restored to PROD-DB-01, but not attached to the SharePoint 2013
farm.
• An AD DS domain user account named PPS_SVC has been
created.
SharePoint 2013 Disaster Recovery Site
The SharePoint 2013 Disaster Recovery farm topology consists of the servers listed in the
following table.

Technical Requirements
• Log shipping must be used to send transaction log backups to
the instance of SQL Server that is running in the disaster recovery site.
• Discrete sets of SharePoint content databases must be
configured to automatically failover together.
• An additional SQL Server 2012 Report Server must be added to
the SharePoint 2013 environment. The server must be configured to
use SharePoint integrated mode.
• Additional SQL Server 2012 Report Servers must not be
installed on machines that are running SharePoint as a front-end web
server.
• Site Collection administrators must not have the ability to
upgrade site collections.
• Site Collection upgrade jobs must be throttled to a maximum of
five site collections at a time.
• A daily backup schedule must be created to perform SQL
Server backups of all SharePoint content and configuration databases.
• The PPS_SVC AD DS user account must be used for the
PerformancePoint service application.
• Farm administrators must be able to recover content from
WSS_TempContent without attaching the database to the farm.
• All content databases within the production farm must be set to
read-only when patching and upgrading the farm.

• Farm administrators must be able to determine which sites were
missed or skipped during the upgrade process and must be able to
monitor any future upgrades.

You need to meet the technical requirements for failover.
What should you do?

A.
Configure log shipping between PROD-DB-01 and PROD-DB-02.

B.
Configure an AlwaysOn availability group between PROD-DB-01 and PROD-DB-02.

C.
Configure database mirroring with an additional witness server between PROD-DB-01 and PRODDB-02.

D.
Configure an active/passive failover cluster between PROD-DB-01 and PROD-DB-02.
