Case Projects
Case Project 1-1: Recommending Windows Server 2008
to an Organization
You are a consultant for Terrapin Technologies, a Microsoft-certified
solutions provider. Terrapin Technologies has been asked by one of their
clients, Vagabond Paper Products, for recommendations to meet their
changing business needs. Currently, Vagabond Paper is running Server
2003 with Active Directory. They have five servers on Windows 2000 and
2003 running on old hardware. They want to maximize their future
hardware investments through virtualization and clustering technology.
Also, they wish to maximize their investment by using "in-the-box"
Windows roles and features. What edition of Server 2008 best suits their
needs? Does Vagabond Paper need to purchase specific hardware to
meet the requirements of the project?
To use clustering, either Enterprise or Datacenter editions of Windows Server
2008 need to be purchased.
To use virtualization, a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 that includes
Hyper-V is necessary, unless they are using a third-party virtualization product.
Also, ensure the processor(s) installed supports hardware-assisted virtualization
(Intel VT or AMD-V) technology.
They will also need to purchase hardware that supports both clustering and
virtualization.
