Module 06 - Virtualized Data Center - Desktop and Application Flashcards
Isolate the application from OS and hardware
Application Virtualization
(6.3)
Isolate hardware from OS, application and user state
Desktop Virtualization
(6.3)
Desktop Virtualization Drivers
1) Manageability, 2)Security, 3)Cost
(6. 5)
In Virtual Desktop environment, desktops run as _____________ within the Virtual Data Center.
Virtual Machines
(6.6)
Five Benefits of Desktop Virtualization
1) Enablement of Thin Clients, 2) Improved Data Security, 3) Simplified Data Backup, 4) Simplified PC Maintenance, 5) Flexibility of Access
(6. 7)
Two Desktop Virtualization Techniques
1) Remote Desktop Services (RDS), 2) VIrtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
(6. 8)
Remote Desktop Services is traditionally known as ________ Services.
Terminal
(6.9)
Four Benefits of RDS
1) Rapid Application Delivery, 2) Improved Security, 3) Centralized Management, 4) Low-cost Technology When Compared to VDI
(6. 10)
Involves hosting a desktop which runs as a VM on a server in a VDC.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
(6.11)
Three VDI Components
1) Endpoint Devices, 2) VM Hosting / Execution Servers, 3) Connection Broker
(6. 12)
Responsible for hosting the desktop VMs that are remotely delivered to the endpoint devices.
VM Hosting Servers
(6.13)
Responsible for establishing and managing the connection between the endpoint device and the desktop VM.
Connection Broker
(6.14)
True/False: When using dedicated VMs for VDI, a Connection Broker is not necessarily required.
True
(6.14)
Three Benefits of VDI
1) Centralized deployment and management, 2) Improved security, 3) Improved business continuity and disaster recovery
(6. 15)
Three Considerations With A Move to VDI
1) Reliance on network connection, 2) Unsuitable for high-end graphics applications, 3) Requires additional infrastructure
(6. 15)
Stores user’s data and settings in a central location
User state virtualization
(6.17)
Technique of presenting an application to an end user without any installation, integration, or dependencies on the underlying computing platform.
Application Virtualization
(6.19)
Application is converted into a self-contained package.Application packages may run from USB, CD-ROM or local disk,Built-in agents are present within the package.
Application Encapsulation
(6.20)
Application specific data / resources are transmitted to the client device when the application is executed.Minimum amount of data (~10 to 30% of total app) is delivered to the client.Additional application features are delivered on demand.Locally installed agents are required to run virtualized application.
Application Streaming
(6.20)
Three Benefits of Application Virtualization
1) Simplified app deployment/retirement, 2) Simplified OS image management: apps are completely separate from OS, 3) Elimination of resource conflicts: apps have their own virtual OS resources.
(6. 21)
VMware application virtualization solution that links the app, Virtual OS (VOS), file system, and registry into a single package.Enables apps to run directly from storage devices such as USB or network share.Packages entire app and its settings into an executable file that is isolated from the desktop OS.
VMware ThinApp
(6.23)
VMware solution that provides centralized management and brokering of connections to desktops in the data center.
VMware View Manager
(6.24)
VMware solution that provides storage optimization to reduce storage requirements and to simplify desktop management.
VMware View Composer
(6.24)
VMware product used for the management of the virtualization platform
vCenter
(6.24)
