WINDOWS SERVER 2016 DEPLOYMENT 2
Abstract
WMW is a newly established firm which specializes in advertising. The firm plans to
implement core IT services but currently, they do not have an IT staff. The organization is
planning to have ninety employees where nine employees will be the executive. The
organization plan to have four departments which are Sales and Accounts department with
fifteen employees, the human resource and Finance with twelve employees, the IT department
with five employees, and creative, media, and the production department with forty-nine
employees. In addition, the organization plans to be located in two different locations that are in
New York and Los Angeles. The organization has already networked the two offices with a plan
to have a secure tunnel which will use IPSec to link the two locations. This raises the need to
have a windows server in place to enables sharing of the different services and resources. In
addition, with windows server, it will enable the organization network infrastructure to remain
secure, reliable, and to be manageable.
Introduction
Most of the organizations are relying heavily on the current technology. This means that
WMW needs to have a network infrastructure so that they can remain competitive and to do it
they need to implement windows server 2016. This paper will highlight the current features of
windows server 2016 and how it can be deployed (Savill, 2017).
New Features of Windows server 2016
Microsoft has continued to put more effort in developing server 2016. One of the features
is docker integration and windows server containers. This feature will allow WMW to abstract
services and applications from the underlying Operating System. Another feature is the Nano
server. This feature enables an organization to boast over 90 percent of the smaller installation

foot print than Windows Server Graphical User Interface installation option. With this feature,
there will be no login interface or any remote desktop capability. Also, Nano Server enables one
not to consume so much disk space of not more than 512 MB. Nano Server features always one
to fix and view networking issues directly from the server console. In addition, it will enable the
IT staff to manage the server 2016 through PowerShell. With Windows Server 2016 there are
fewer reboots required. WMW IT staff will not become frustrated with unnecessary reboots like
the previous editions. In addition, Windows server 2016 offers an easier remote management.
Other editions support replication in the world of Hyper-V which has been limited to
asynchronous replication of the virtual hard-disk but with Windows server 2016, WMW will be
able to replicate the entire volume which is located at the block level. In addition, one can choose
between asynchronous and synchronous replication. With this feature, an organization will be
able to perform a quick failover in case of catastrophe.
Windows Server 2016 provides the ability to build an available storage system which
uses only the attached disks on each and every code. This feature referred to as Storage Spaces
Direct takes that advantage of a new hardware such as NVME SSDs (Ferrill, 2015).
Deployment and Server Editions
WMW Company can only benefit from their network by only making it fault tolerance,
scalable, and consistent. Before deploying Windows server 2016, there are a lot of factors that an
organization needs to consider these are; the number of users and the programs which to be used
by the organization. Other basic requirements are a processor of 1.4 GHz with a 64-bit processor.
In addition, the computer needs to operate on 10/100/1000baseT Ethernet adapter. The current
Windows server deployment standard which has been implemented by lots of organizations is
where each windows server to serve ten employees this is needed so as to improve network
