Ensure vendor destroys all copies

131
Q

What is virtualization?

A

Is a way to take advantage of underutilizing resources. So we can get more value for our money.

132
Q

133
Q

How does virtualization solve the problem for underutilized hardware?

A

Virtualization is a technique for running multiple “virtual computers” on a single physical host computer system. It breaks it up to give the person only what they need, ie 1 gb or 16 gb, instead of wasted space just sitting there.

134

A

No

135
Q

Physical Machine (PM)

137
Q

What is workstation virtualization?

A

Multiple operating system on single physical host machine. Not the same as Boot Camp or Dual Boot. Both Windows and OS X on a Mac computer - great for tech support.; VM Portability: you can copy and move to another desktop; Security: test software in VM w/o risking host integrity

138
Q

What is a snaphot?

A

restores VM to previous status. Great for testing.

139
Q

What is server virtualization?

A

Servers do most virtualization.; Consolidation: Most servers are grossly underuntilized. 20+ VMs per PM is common; Reduced hardware costs, Pooled resources; Server Room/Datacenters: BIG savings. No space for cooling, power; Reduced server room costs: space, energy, furnishing (racks, KVM, cabling)

140
Q

How does virtualization impact server deployment and enterprise agility?

A

Deploys VMs from templates (Gold Standard). How a company wants their server to look. This will reduce costs, faster turnaround, and fewer errors.

141
Q

How can virtualization improve enterprise reliability and disaster recovery?

A

Snapshot; Redundancy/Reliability: Live migration - you can easily move all the VM to another host while you need to work on that server; Failover: if one host died, just simply reboot. No need to call tech; Testing: You can build a virtual network; Disaster Recovery: They are portable

142
Q

VMWare, Microsoft Hyper-V, Xen: Open Source Virtualization

143
Q
