maintain control of its infrastructure without interference from the corporate IT
department. The local IT department in Glasgow demands exclusive control over
their own environment due to security concerns about their research and development
(R&D) data. Corporate management shares security concerns about the
R&D data and wants to ensure that it is not compromised.

connections through the Internet to headquarters in Paris.
