The name of my fictive company is The Company. The Company is neither small nor big. I will not give you any numbers on the size of this company because I do not want you to take my example setup as being optimized for a company of a particular size.
As with many other companies, The Company tries to keep up with modern techniques within their IT infrastructure. They are a big fan of Microsoft and live by the following principle:
If Microsoft has a product that can do it, let's try that one first.
The concept of cloud computing is still somewhat fuzzy to them, and they do not yet know how or when they will be using it. They do understand that in the near future this technology will be an important factor for them, so they have decided that, for every new system or function that needs to be implemented, they will take cloud computing into account.
