Planning and Selecting Images (Data Collection and Tracking Project) (10 Marks)
To accommodate a new line of products, you must deploy 400 new servers in the data center. The servers will be used to keep track of product settings and will constantly collect and analyze data from the sold security products. In addition, if sales increase as planned, you will need to deploy a hundred servers each month over the next year or two.
Of these servers, there are four types:
- File server – Stores documents and logs
- Web server – Allows device and user access over the Internet
- Database server – Allows storage and retrieval of data
- Application server – Includes applications that allow the management of the system and includes components that process the data.
Answer the following questions:
1: Which type of image—sector-based images or file-based images—should be selected and why?
2: Which type of image (thick, thin, or hybrid) should be used to deploy the servers and why?
3: What is the minimum number of images necessary to deploying these servers and why?
4: Which server deployment strategy should be used to deploy these servers (High Touch with Retail Media, High Touch with Standard Image, Lite-Touch, High-Volume Deployment, or ZeroTouch, HighVolume Deployment) and why?
5: Based on your answer to Question 4, which servers are necessary for the deployment and which software components must be run by those servers?
6: When you deploy the four types of servers, how do you specify which roles, features, files, and applications are deployed to the deployed server?
