Mark works as the Storage Solutions Architect at MDFT Pro, a technology training agency that provides hands-on Azure certification courses to students worldwide. Claire, the IT Infrastructure Specialist, has been tasked with implementing a hybrid file synchronization solution to ensure that training materials and course resources are consistently available both in their on-premises training centers and in Azure cloud storage. Their goal is to create a seamless file sharing experience for instructors and students across multiple locations.
The agency has an Azure subscription that contains an Azure file share which will serve as the central repository for all training materials. They also have an on-premises server named Server1 running Windows Server 2016 located in their main training facility. This server currently hosts critical course materials, virtual machine templates, and documentation that instructors need to access locally for optimal performance during hands-on lab sessions.
Mark needs to prepare the Azure subscription to support Azure File Sync between Server1 and the existing Azure file share. The implementation must ensure that changes made to files in either location are synchronized automatically, providing instructors with up-to-date materials regardless of whether they’re working on-premises or in the cloud. The solution should also support the agency’s planned expansion to additional training centers in different regions.
