Title: Designing an Application Server
You have been tasked with researching and designing an application server to host Web sites, FTP sites, and streaming media. This server will be used for both internal and external access. In order to complete this task, you must answer the following questions:
Do you think IIS is the best choice for this server? If so, why? If not, why and what solution would you suggest?
What ports need to be open to host ftp, http, https, and streaming media? Do you think there will be any security concerns with having
all of these ports open on the same server? If so, why? If not, why not?
Should there be separate servers for internal and external access?
If so, why? If not, why not?
What do you recommend to the management as a disaster recovery plan? What do you think are the strengths of your plan?
What are the challenges you anticipate in your plan and how can these be mitigated?
