Question: How does BranchCache differ from the Distributed File System (DFS) to branch
offices?
Question: Why would you choose to implement BranchCache in hosted cache mode instead
of distributed cache mode?
Question: Can you configure data deduplication on a boot volume? Question: Why would you implement a File Classification Infrastructure?
Real-world Issues and Scenarios
Your organization is considering deploying an iSCSI solution. You are a Windows Server 2012
administrator responsible for designing and deploying the new solution. This new solution will be used by different types of technologies, such as Windows Server 2012 file server, Exchange Server, and SQL Server. You face that of designing an optimal iSCSI solution, but at the same time you are not sure whether the solution you are going to propose to your organization will meet the requirements of all technologies that will be accessing the iSCSI storage. What should you do?
Answer: You should include on the team that will design and deploy the iSCSI solution experts from
different areas of specialization. Team members who will be involved in the project should include Windows Server 2012 administrators, network administrators, storage administrators, and security administrators. This is necessary so that the iSCSI storage solution has optimal performance and security, and has consistent management and operations procedures.
Your organization is considering deploying a BranchCache solution. You are a Windows Server 2012 administrator in your organization, and you are responsible for designing and deploying the new solution. The organization’s business managers are concerned about security of the data that will be stored in the branch offices. They are also concerned about how the organization will address security risks such as data tampering, information disclosure, and denial of service attacks. What should you do?
Answer: You should include a security expert on your design team. You should also consider the defense-
in-depth model of analyzing security risks. BranchCache addresses the security risks as follows:
• Data tampering. The BranchCache technology uses hashes to confirm that during the communication, the client computer and the server did not alter the data.
• Information disclosure. BranchCache sends encrypted content to clients, but they must have the encryption key to decrypt the content. Because potential malicious users would not have the encryption key, if an attacker attempts to monitor the network traffic to access the data while it is in transit between clients, the attempt will not be successful.
• Denial of service. If an attacker tries to overload the client with requests for data, BranchCache technology includes queue management counters and timers to prevent clients from being overloaded.
Your organization is using large amounts of disk space for data storage and faces the challenge of organizing and managing the data. Furthermore, your organization must satisfy requirements for security, compliance, and data leakage prevention for company confidential information. What should you do?
Answer: You should deploy the File Classification Infrastructure. Based on file classification, you can
configure file management tasks that will enable you to manage groups of files based on various file and folder attributes. You can also automate file and folder maintenance tasks, such as cleaning up stale data or protecting sensitive information.

Best Practice:
• When you consider an iSCSI storage solution for your organization, spend most of the time on the design process. The design process is crucial because it allows you to optimize the solution for all technologies that will be using iSCSI storage, such as file services, Exchange Server, and SQL Server. The design should also accommodate future growth of your organization’s business data. Successful design processes help guarantee a successful deployment of the solution that will meet your organization’s business requirements.
• When you plan for BranchCache deployment, ensure that you work closely with your network administrators so that you can optimize network traffic across the WAN.
• When you plan for file classifications, ensure that you start with your organization’s business
requirements. Identify the classifications that you will apply to documents, and then define a method that you will use to identify documents for classification. Before you deploy the File Classification Infrastructure, create a test environment. Then test the scenarios to ensure that your solution will result in a successful deployment, and that your organization’s business requirements will be met.
