Q

Explain application virtualization and desktop virtualization

A

-Application virtualization:
an application can be made available to users without having to install the application on the user’s computer

-Desktop virtualization:
One computer provides multiple desktops for users

Each virtual desktop is contained in its own virtual machine

Q

Differentiate between Hypervisor Type 1 and Hypervisor Type 2

A

-Type 1 (Bare-metal hypervisor) :
installs on a computer before an OS ; partitions hardware computing power into multiple VMs

Type 2 (Hosted hypervisor) :
installs in host OS as an application; not as powerful as Type 1 because it is dependent on the host OS

Q

Explain the various cloud computing deployment models

A

Public cloud = services are provided over the Internet to the general public

Private cloud = services are established on an organization’s own servers

Community cloud = services are shared between multiple organizations, but not available publicly

Hybrid cloud = a combination of public, private, and community clouds used by same organization

Q

What categories are cloud computing service models divided into?

A

-IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) :
the customer rents hardware, including servers, storage, and networking

PaaS (Platform as a Service) :
the customer rents hardware, operating systems, and some applications that might support other applications installed

SaaS (Software as a Service) :
the customers use applications hosted on the service provider’s hardware and OSs

Applications are provided through an online user interface

XaaS (Anything as a Service or Everything as a Service) :
Cloud can provide any combination of functions

Q

The VDI virtual desktop is presented to the user on one of the following

A

-Thick client or fat client – regular desktop computer or laptop

-Thin client – computer has a regular OS but comparatively little computer power

-Zero client ( dumb terminal) does not have an OS and just provides a user interface

Q

Two approaches to VDI

A

-Persistent VDI :
the user owns the virtual desktop, which can be customized for the user and saved for future use

-Nonpersistent VDI :
the user receives a desktop from a pool of desktops; each time the user signs on, she gets a desktop that reverts to its original state

Q

How laser printers work:

A

-Toner is placed on an electrically charged rotating drum called the imaging drum

-Toner is transferred onto paper as it moves through the system

Q

Seven steps in laser printing:

A
  1. Processing the image: bitmap of final page is stored in memory
  2. Charging or conditioning: drum surface is charged to -600 V
  3. Exposing or writing: laser beam writes -100 V image to drum surface
  4. Developing: toner is applied to the surface of the drum
  5. Transferring: the transfer roller puts a positive charge on the paper to pull the toner from the drum and onto the paper
  6. Fusing: fuser assembly uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to paper
    Cleaning: drum is cleaned of residual toner and charge

Q

What is a duplex printer?

A

A printer that is able to print on both sides of the paper it uses a duplexing assembly, which turns the paper around and draws it back through the printer

17
Q

part of routine printer maintenance

A

-Clean outside of the printer with a damp cloth

-Do not use ammonia-based cleaners

-Clean the inside of the printer with a dry cloth

-Do not blow out toner with compressed air

18
Q

Two safe tools for printers

A

-Toner-certified vacuum cleaner

-Extension magnet brush

19
Q

Printer maintenance kits include

A

-Specific printer components

-instructions for performing maintenance

-Tips for how often maintenance should be done

-Special tools or equipment

20
Q

Types of printers for desktop computing:

A

-Laser
-Inkjet
-Impact
-Thermal
-3D

21
Q

Overview of inkjet printer technology

A

-Uses a type of ink-dispersion printing 4

-Print head moves across paper

-Different types of inkjets form droplets of ink in different ways

22
Q

3 reasons impact printers are still in use:

A

-Continuous tractor feed allows event and data logging

-Can use carbon paper: print multiple copies at the same time

-Extremely durable

23
Q

Two types of thermal printers

A

-Direct thermal printer
-Thermal transfer printer

24
Q

Explain Thermal transfer printer

A

Uses a ribbon that contains wax-based ink

Heating element melts ribbon onto thermal paper

Used to print receipts, bar code labels

25
Explain direct thermal printer
Burns dots onto special coated paper (thermal paper) Often used as receipt printers
26
Local printer vs Network printer
Local printer connects directly to a computer using a port or wireless connection Network printer has an Ethernet port to connect directly or uses Wi-Fi to connect to a wireless access point
27
Two ways to install a printer and make it available on a network:
Shared local printer Share the printer through the computer’s network connection Network printer Connects directly to a network with its own NIC Identified on the network by its IP address
28
Ways to share a printer are to use a:
Integrated print server, provides its own integrated print server embedded in the firmware on the printer’s hardware Computer as a print server, so you can manage all print jobs from one centralized location Other network hardware Print server software might be embedded in other network devices, such as a router or firewall
29
Options for virtual printing:
PDF file XPS file Print to file
30
Define virtual printing
printing to a file instead of producing a hard copy at a printer
