A.Datum has a main office and four branch offices. The main office is located in Seattle. The branch offices are located in New York, Montreal, Denver, and Vancouver. Existing Environment Network Infrastructure The network contains one Active Directory domain namedA.Datum.com. Each office contains one domain controller. Each office has a 100-Mbps connection to the Internet that is 20 percent saturated on average. The offices connect to each other through the Internet by using VPN appliances. A.Datum uses the public IP addresses shown in the following table. SQL Server Infrastructure In the main office, A.Datum hosts a Microsoft SQL Server instance on a server named SQL1. SQL1 has a 400-GB database named Listings. Log-shipped copies of Listings are present in each branch office. The copies are used for reporting. Currently, all of the SQL Server instances run SQL Server 2014 Enterprise edition. Each branch office has an application server that hosts an application named App1. App1 is configured to connect to the Listings database on each local SQL Server instance for reporting and to connect to the SQL Server instance in the main office for any updates to property listings. The main office also has an application server that hosts App1. The application server connects to the local Listings database for reporting and for any updates to the property listings. Historic activity of the Listings database shows a maximum of 475 concurrent requests from as many as 200 concurrent connections. Users report that, frequently, they are disconnected from the Listings database when they run reports. Users also report that there is an unacceptable delay between when a property listing is updated and when the updated listing appears in the listings reports.
