Application Infrastructure
Northwind Traders develops several web applications by using the Microsoft .NET Framework. The company
also hosts a third-party UNIX-based web application on the perimeter network.
Planned Implementation

to four new private clouds named IT, Sales, Finance, and Corporate.
Northwind Traders also plans to virtualize all of the servers that run SharePoint Server 2013.
Northwind Traders plans to provide a runbook-based solution for application developers to create virtual
machines in a test environment.
