need to upgrade their equipment and install a device that is application aware meaning
that it knows the types of applications the company runs and can better detect and

✔✔A medium sized corporation has purchased a competitor, which effectively doubles
the size of their business overnight. After performing an analysis of the previous
competitor's network, they determine that now that they are a larger company they will
upgrade their data center so that they can purchase 10 high powered servers and
relocate the 30 different systems used by the two companies onto the 10 servers. They
will take each of the 10 servers and allocate resources such a hard drive storage, RAM,
and CPUs to 2 or more systems allowing each of the 10 servers to run 2-4 of the
systems. There are a couple of advantages to this approach. First, they did not have to
purchase 30 servers. Second, they will save on the electric that would have been
needed to operate 30 servers. Finally, they can adjust the amount of RAM, CPU speed,
or storage to the various systems depending on the number of users logged in. -
