Physical Locations

Proseware has two offices located in Seattle and Montreal. The Seattle office contains all of the hardware required to host its customers- websites, web apps, and databases. The Seattle office contains the IT

team for the hosting environment.

The Montreal office contains all of the hardware required to host the company-s internal applications, databases, and websites.

Each office connects directly to the Internet. Testing reveals that the minimum latency from

the offices to Microsoft Azure is 20 ms.

Existing Environment

Internal Microsoft SQL Server Environment

Proseware uses a custom customer relationship management (CRM) application.

The internal Microsoft SQL Server environment contains two physical serv

ers named CRM-A and CRM-B. Both servers run SQL Server 2012 Standard and host databases for the CRM application.

CRM-A hosts the principal instance and CRM-B hosts the mirrored instance of the CRM database.

С

RM-A also hosts databases for several other

applications that are used by the company-s internal applications.

CRM-A has a quad core processor and 12 GB of RAM. CRM-

Ð’

has a dual core processor and 8 GB of RAM.

Custom Web Applications Environment

Some Proseware customers request custom web-based ap

plications that require more than just databases, such as SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) and CLR stored procedures.

Proseware uses a Hyper-V server named Host1. Host1 has four instances of SQL Server 2014 Enterprise in the host operating system. T

he instances are mirrored on a server named Host2.

Host1 also hosts four virtual machines named VM1, VM2, VM3, and VM4. VM1 has SQL Server 2005 Standard installed. VM2 has SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition installed. VM3 has SQL Server 2008 Standard Edit

ion installed. VM4 has SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition installed.

Host1 uses a SAN to store all of the data and log files for the four SQL Server instances and the four virtual machines.

Websites and Basic Web Apps Environment

Proseware has two physi

cal servers named WebServer1 and WebData1. WebServer1 hosts basic web apps and websites for its customers. WebData1 has a database for each website and each basic web app that Proseware hosts. WebData1 has four cores and 8 GB of RAM.

Each website database

contains customer information for billing purposes. Proseware generates a consolidated report that contains data from all of these databases.

The relevant databases on WebData1 are:

CWDB: Currently 60 GB and is not expected to exceed 100 GB. CWDB contain

s a table named PersonalInfo.

MovieReviewDB: Currently 5 GB and is not expected to exceed 10 GB.

Marketing Department

Proseware has a web app for the marketing department. The web app uses an Azure SQL database. Managers in the marketing department occasi

onally bulk load data by using a custom application. The database is updated daily.

Problem Statements

Proseware identifies the following issues:

Lack of planning and knowledge has complicated the database environment.

Customers who have web apps hosted o

n WebServer1 report frequent outages caused by failures on WebData1. The current uptime is less than 90 percent.

Internally, users complain of slow performance by the CRM application when the databases fail over to CRM-B.

WebData1 has no high-availability

option for the databases or the server.

An internal licensing audit of SQL Server identifies that Proseware is non-compliant. Host1, CRM-A, and CRM-Ð’ are licensed properly. VM1, VM2, VM3, VM4, and WebData1 are unlicensed.

Business Requirements

Proseware i

dentifies the following business requirements:

Upgrade the infrastructure to address the issues reported by the internal users and customers.

Minimize upgrade costs associated with purchasing hardware and software.

Ensure that all software is licensed prop

erly.

Minimize the complexity of the database environment.

Consolidate the instances of SQL Server that support the custom web app environment.

Implement a service level agreement (SLA) of 99.95 percent uptime for the website and basic web app environment.

Implement a disaster recovery environment in Azure for the CRM application.

Ensure that any changes to the SQL Server environments either maintain or increase overall performance.

Migrate all web front ends to Azure.

Reuse licenses, whenever possible.

Minimize the administrative effort required to generate the internal reports from the website databases.

Security Requirements

Proseware hosts a database for a company named Contoso, Ltd. Currently, all of the employees at Contoso can access all of the da

ta in the database.

Contoso plans to limit user access to the CWDU database so that customer service representatives can see only the data from the PersonalInfo table that relates to their own customers.

You are evaluating moving the data from WebData1

to an Azure SQL database.

You need to recommend a solution to generate the consolidated report for billing. The solution must meet the business requirements.

What should you include in the recommendation?

A. SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)

B. SQL

Server Analysis Services (SSAS)

C. an elastic database job

D. an elastic query
