1) Imagine that you are a server administrator for Company.com. You are tasked to design Windows 2008 servers to host a database and the company’s Web application that will be used heavily by 1,000 employees. The goals are to minimize the downtime, provide the best possible performance for both the application and the database, and provide a cost-effective solution. Suggest the best strategy to implement fault tolerance and explain why.
2) Suppose that you are designing storage for a new application server. The application heavily uses temporary storage, and you want to allocate a few new 120-GB very secured disk drives to that storage. Excellent read and write performance is a high priority, you want to use as much available space as possible, and you also want to reduce the costs associated with deploying Windows server 2008. Compare different types of partitions, disks, volumes, and file systems. Select the strategy you would use in this scenario and explain why.
