Northwind Traders
Overview
Northwind Traders is a retail company that has three offices. The offices are located in New York, Montreal,
and Miami.
In the data center of the New York office, the company plans to implement a private cloud solution that will
use System Center 2012 R2.
Existing Environment
Network Infrastructure
The network contains two Active Directory forests named northwindtraders.com and contoso.com.
The northwindtraders.com forest contains servers that run either Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows
Server 2012. The northwindtraders.com forest contains all of the computers in the New York office and the
Montreal office.
The contoso.com forest contains all of the computers in the Miami office. A trust relationship does not exist
between the forests.
Server Environment
The data center of the Montreal office contains three servers. The servers are configured as shown in the
following table.

The data center of the New York office contains seven servers. The servers are configured as shown in the
following table.

Service Pack 1 (SP1) for System Center 2012 is deployed to all of the System Center servers. All of the
System Center servers run Windows Server 2012.
Currently, VMM is used to deploy virtual machines to Hyper-V hosts.
Implementation Plans
Planned Upgrades
Northwind Traders plans to upgrade all physical servers to Windows Server 2012 R2 and all System Center
2012 components to System Center 2012 R2. Administrators also plan to add all of the System Center 2012
R2 components that are NOT deployed already.
Planned Development
Northwind Traders plans to deploy seven new servers to the New York data center. The servers will be
configured as shown in the following table.

All of the SQL Server servers will use the default instances.
Northwind Traders plans to move all of the virtual machines on the Hyper-V hosts to four new private clouds
named IT, Sales, Finance, and Corporate. The Hyper-V hosts in the IT private cloud will have their network
adapters configured by using logical switches.
After the planned implementation of System Center 2012 R2, the administrators plan to deploy the Service
Manager Self-Service Portal.
The administrators also plan to integrate System Center and Windows Azure.
The company's developers recently developed an order management application that contains a web
application and a Windows service. The Windows service accesses a database. You use Server Application
Virtualization (Server App-V) packages to deploy the web application and the Windows service. You use a
SQL Server dedicated administrator connection (DAC) package to deploy the database.
