1. Stark Accounting Inc. – Stark Accounting plans to merge with another company, DGT Inc. As a part of the planning process, Stark wants to identify an appropriate method to provide authentication for both companies during the merge. They both currently use Active Directory (SAML). They are open to a Federated system or moving to a new shared authentication method as long as it does not require centralized hardware in either location.

The CTO of the company has mandated a 25% reduction in cost over the next year. As the director of IT, you are required to identify possible solutions to present to the executives showing options to reduces the cost associated with the data centers.

3. JML DevOps Inc. – JML is working on a major project with limited funding. The project requires the build on new servers for their developers to create, design, and deploy a new web application. JML does not have any server administrators available to work on the hardware infrastructure which leaves the developers in a critical bind. The project will also need storage for its content as the application will collect over 10Gb of data daily. Although, the project has limited funds, if a solution is found to complete the project in a timely fashion without pulling from the server admins, they are open to additional funding for the project.
