Background
Overview
Trey Research conducts agricultural research and sells the results to the agriculture and food industries. The
company uses a combination of on-premises and third-party server clusters to meet its storage needs. Trey
Research has seasonal demands on its services, with up to 50 percent drops in data capacity and bandwidth
demand during low-demand periods. They plan to host their websites in an agile, cloud environment where the
company can deploy and remove its websites based on its business requirements rather than the requirements
of the hosting company.
A recent fire near the datacenter that Trey Research uses raises the management team’s awareness of the
vulnerability of hosting all of the company’s websites and data at any single location. The management team is
concerned about protecting its data from loss as a result of a disaster.
Websites
Trey Research has a portfolio of 300 websites and associated background processes that are currently hosted
in a third-party datacenter. All of the websites are written in ASP.NET, and the background processes use
Windows Services. The hosting environment costs Trey Research approximately S25 million in hosting and
maintenance fees.
Infrastructure
Trey Research also has on-premises servers that run VMs to support line-of-business applications. The
company wants to migrate the line-of-business applications to the cloud, one application at a time. The
company is migrating most of its production VMs from an aging VMWare ESXi farm to a Hyper-V cluster that
runs on Windows Server 2012.
Applications
DistributionTracking
Trey Research has a web application named Distributiontracking. This application constantly collects realtime
data that tracks worldwide distribution points to customer retail sites. This data is available to customers at all
times.
The company wants to ensure that the distribution tracking data is stored at a location that is geographically
close to the customers who will be using the information. The system must continue running in the event of VM
failures without corrupting data. The system is processor intensive and should be run in a multithreading
environment.
HRApp
The company has a human resources (HR) application named HRApp that stores data in an on-premises SQL
Server database. The database must have at least two copies, but data to support backups and business
continuity must stay in Trey Research locations only. The data must remain on-premises and cannot be stored
in the cloud.
HRApp was written by a third party, and the code cannot be modified. The human resources data is used by all
business offices, and each office requires access to the entire database. Users report that HRApp takes all
night to generate the required payroll reports, and they would like to reduce this time.
MetricsTracking
Trey Research has an application named MetricsTracking that is used to track analytics for the
DistributionTracking web application. The data MetricsTracking collects is not customer-facing. Data is stored
on an on-premises SQL Server database, but this data should be moved to the cloud. Employees at other
locations access this data by using a remote desktop connection to connect to the application, but latency
issues degrade the functionality.
Trey Research wants a solution that allows remote employees to access metrics data without using a remote
desktop connection. MetricsTracking was written in-house, and the development team is available to make
modifications to the application if necessary. However, the company wants to continue to use SQL Server for
MetricsTracking.
Business RequirementsBusiness Continuity
You have the following requirements:
Move all customer-facing data to the cloud.
Web servers should be backed up to geographically separate locations,
If one website becomes unavailable, customers should automatically be routed to websites that are still
operational.
Data must be available regardless of the operational status of any particular website.
The HRApp system must remain on-premises and must be backed up.
The MetricsTracking data must be replicated so that it is locally available to all Trey Research offices.
Auditing and Security
You have the following requirements:
Both internal and external consumers should be able to access research results.
Internal users should be able to access data by using their existing company credentials without requiring
multiple logins.
Consumers should be able to access the service by using their Microsoft credentials.
Applications written to access the data must be authenticated.
Access and activity must be monitored and audited.
Ensure the security and integrity of the data collected from the worldwide distribution points for the
distribution tracking application.
Storage and Processing
You have the following requirements:
Provide real-time analysis of distribution tracking data by geographic location.
Collect and store large datasets in real-time data for customer use.
Locate the distribution tracking data as close to the central office as possible to improve bandwidth.
Co-locate the distribution tracking data as close to the customer as possible based on the customer’s
location.
Distribution tracking data must be stored in the JSON format and indexed by metadata that is stored in a
SQL Server database.
Data in the cloud must be stored in geographically separate locations, but kept with the same political
boundaries.
Technical Requirements
Migration
You have the following requirements:
Deploy all websites to Azure.
Replace on-premises and third-party physical server clusters with cloud-based solutions.
Optimize the speed for retrieving exiting JSON objects that contain the distribution tracking data.
Recommend strategies for partitioning data for load balancing.
Auditing and Security
You have the following requirements:
Use Active Directory for internal and external authentication.
Use OAuth for application authentication.
Business Continuity
You have the following requirements:
Data must be backed up to separate geographic locations.
Web servers must run concurrent versions of all websites in distinct geographic locations.
Use Azure to back up the on-premises MetricsTracking data.
Use Azure virtual machines as a recovery platform for MetricsTracking and HRApp.
Ensure that there is at least one additional on-premises recovery environment for the HRApp.

Background
VanArsdel, Ltd. builds skyscrapers, subways, and bridges. VanArsdel is a leader in using technology to do
construction better.
Overview
VanArsdel employees are able to use their own mobile devices for work activities because the company
recognizes that this usage enables employee productivity. Employees also access Software as a Service
(SaaS) applications, including DocuSign, Dropbox, and Citrix. The company continues to evaluate and adopt
more SaaS applications for its business. VanArsdel uses Azure Active Directory (AD) to authenticate its
employees, as well as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Management enjoys the ease with which MFA can be
enabled and disabled for employees who use cloud-based services. VanArsdel’s on-premises directory
contains a single forest.
Helpdesk:
VanArsdel creates a helpdesk group to assist its employees. The company sends email messages to all its
employees about the helpdesk group and how to contact it. Configuring employee access for SaaS applications
is often a time-consuming task. It is not always obvious to the helpdesk group which users should be given
access to which SaaS applications. The helpdesk group must respond to many phone calls and email
messages to solve this problem, which takes up valuable time. The helpdesk group is unable to meet the needs
of VanArsdel’s employees.
However, many employees do not work with the helpdesk group to solve their access problems. Instead, these
employees contact their co-workers or managers to find someone who can help them. Also, new employees
are not always told to contact the helpdesk group for access problems. Some employees report that they
cannot see all the applications in the Access Panel that they have access to. Some employees report that they
must re-enter their passwords when they access cloud applications, even though they have already
authenticated.
Bring your own device (BYOD):
VanArsdel wants to continue to support users and their mobile and personal devices, but the company is
concerned about how to protect corporate assets that are stored on these devices. The company does not have
a strategy to ensure that its data is removed from the devices when employees leave the company.
Customer Support
VanArsdel wants a mobile app for customer profile registration and feedback. The company would like to keep
track of all its previous, current, and future customers worldwide. A profile system using third-party
authentication is required as well as feedback and support sections for the mobile app.
Migration:
VanArsdel plans to migrate several virtual machine (VM) workloads into Azure. They also plan to extend their
on-premises Active Directory into Azure for mobile app authentication.
Business Requirements
Hybrid Solution:
A single account and credentials for both on-premises and cloud applications
Certain applications that are hosted both in Azure and on-site must be accessible to both VanArsdel
employees and partners
The service level agreement (SLA) for the solution requires an uptime of 99.9%
The partners all use Hotmail.com email addresses
Mobile App:
VanArsdel requires a mobile app for project managers on construction job sites. The mobile app has the
following requirements:
The app must display partner information.
The app must alert project managers when changes to the partner information occur.
The app must display project information including an image gallery to view pictures of construction projects.
Project managers must be able to access the information remotely and securely.Security:
VanArsdel must control access to its resources to ensure sensitive services and information are accessible
only by authorized users and/or managed devices.
Employees must be able to securely share data, based on corporate policies, with other VanArsdel
employees and with partners who are located on construction job sites.
VanArsdel management does NOT want to create and manage user accounts for partners.
Technical Requirements
Architecture:
VanArsdel requires a non-centralized stateless architecture fonts data and services where application, data,
and computing power are at the logical extremes of the network.
VanArsdel requires separation of CPU storage and SQL services
Data Storage:
VanArsdel needs a solution to reduce the number of operations on the contractor information table. Currently,
data transfer rates are excessive, and queue length for read/write operations affects performance.
A mobile service that is used to access contractor information must have automatically scalable, structured
storage
Images must be stored in an automatically scalable, unstructured form.
Mobile Apps:
VanArsdel mobile app must authenticate employees to the company’s Active Directory.
Event-triggered alerts must be pushed to mobile apps by using a custom Node.js script.
The customer support app should use an identity provider that is configured by using the Access Control
Service for current profile registration and authentication.
The customer support team will adopt future identity providers that are configured through Access Control
Service.
Security:
Active Directory Federated Server (AD FS) will be used to extend AD into Azure.
Helpdesk administrators must have access to only the groups of Azure resources they are responsible for.
Azure administration will be performed by a separate group.
IT administrative overhead must be minimized.
Permissions must be assigned by using Role Based Access Control (RBAC).
Line of business applications must be accessed securely.

employees, as well as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Management enjoys the ease with which MFA can be
enabled and disabled for employees who use cloud-based services. VanArsdel’s on-premises directory
contains a single forest.
Helpdesk:
VanArsdel creates a helpdesk group to assist its employees. The company sends email messages to all its
employees about the helpdesk group and how to contact it. Configuring employee access for SaaS applications
is often a time-consuming task. It is not always obvious to the helpdesk group which users should be given
access to which SaaS applications. The helpdesk group must respond to many phone calls and email
messages to solve this problem, which takes up valuable time. The helpdesk group is unable to meet the needs
of VanArsdel’s employees.
However, many employees do not work with the helpdesk group to solve their access problems. Instead, these
employees contact their co-workers or managers to find someone who can help them. Also, new employees
are not always told to contact the helpdesk group for access problems. Some employees report that they
cannot see all the applications in the Access Panel that they have access to. Some employees report that they
must re-enter their passwords when they access cloud applications, even though they have already
authenticated.
Bring your own device (BYOD):
VanArsdel wants to continue to support users and their mobile and personal devices, but the company is
concerned about how to protect corporate assets that are stored on these devices. The company does not have
a strategy to ensure that its data is removed from the devices when employees leave the company.
Customer Support
VanArsdel wants a mobile app for customer profile registration and feedback. The company would like to keep
track of all its previous, current, and future customers worldwide. A profile system using third-party
authentication is required as well as feedback and support sections for the mobile app.
Migration:
VanArsdel plans to migrate several virtual machine (VM) workloads into Azure. They also plan to extend their
on-premises Active Directory into Azure for mobile app authentication.
Business Requirements
Hybrid Solution:
A single account and credentials for both on-premises and cloud applications
Certain applications that are hosted both in Azure and on-site must be accessible to both VanArsdel
employees and partners
The service level agreement (SLA) for the solution requires an uptime of 99.9%
The partners all use Hotmail.com email addresses
Mobile App:
VanArsdel requires a mobile app for project managers on construction job sites. The mobile app has the
following requirements:
The app must display partner information.
The app must alert project managers when changes to the partner information occur.
The app must display project information including an image gallery to view pictures of construction projects.
Project managers must be able to access the information remotely and securely.Security:
VanArsdel must control access to its resources to ensure sensitive services and information are accessible
only by authorized users and/or managed devices.
Employees must be able to securely share data, based on corporate policies, with other VanArsdel
employees and with partners who are located on construction job sites.
VanArsdel management does NOT want to create and manage user accounts for partners.
Technical Requirements
Architecture:
VanArsdel requires a non-centralized stateless architecture fonts data and services where application, data,
and computing power are at the logical extremes of the network.
VanArsdel requires separation of CPU storage and SQL services
Data Storage:
VanArsdel needs a solution to reduce the number of operations on the contractor information table. Currently,
data transfer rates are excessive, and queue length for read/write operations affects performance.
A mobile service that is used to access contractor information must have automatically scalable, structured
storage
Images must be stored in an automatically scalable, unstructured form.
Mobile Apps:
VanArsdel mobile app must authenticate employees to the company’s Active Directory.
Event-triggered alerts must be pushed to mobile apps by using a custom Node.js script.
The customer support app should use an identity provider that is configured by using the Access Control
Service for current profile registration and authentication.
The customer support team will adopt future identity providers that are configured through Access Control
Service.
Security:
Active Directory Federated Server (AD FS) will be used to extend AD into Azure.
Helpdesk administrators must have access to only the groups of Azure resources they are responsible for.
Azure administration will be performed by a separate group.
IT administrative overhead must be minimized.
Permissions must be assigned by using Role Based Access Control (RBAC).
Line of business applications must be accessed securely.
