A server is…?
Computer or device that is dedicated to managing network resources
What are the two basic networking models used with Windows® Server?
- Peer To Peer (Non-Dedicated)
- Client Server Architecture (Dedicated)
Name three qualities of Peer To Peer Architecture:
- Non-Dedicated
- Every computer can communicate directly with every other
computer - No computer has more authority than another
Name three qualities of Client Server Architecture:
- Dedicated
- Each computer is configured either as a client or a server
- Clients send a request or query to the server and the server
responds accordingly
- What is a Virtual Machine (VM)?
Combination of software application(s) and operating system tricked into thinking it has its own dedicated workstation/server.
What is Para-virtualization?
A virtualization technique that presents a modified software interface to the
virtual machines which is similar, yet not identical, to the underlying hardware–software interface.
What is a type 1 hypervisor?
Virtualization software is installed directly on machine
hardware rather than on operating system.
A Type 1 Hypervisor is also referred to as?
Bare-Metal Virtualization
What is a Type 2 Hypervisor?
Requires the host to have an OS installed prior to installing virtualization software.
A Type 2 Hypervisor is also referred to as?
Host Virtualization
What is server consolidation?
Consolidation of servers using VMs reduces the number of physical servers required to meet operational needs. (benefit of physical host device that will now house multiple virtual servers)
What are the benefits of virtualization?
INFRASTRUCTURE SIMPLIFICATION
TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP (TCO)
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
IMPROVED RESPONSIVENESS
What are some of the environmental advantages that come with virtualization?
Reduced electrical energy consumption (less energy, less power being utilized and less space utilized)
How is change control applied in virtualization?
Should be tested in staging environment to ensure no impact to host of guest operating system. (any changes to hardware/software will go through a change control board and then tested in a staged environment)
How is asset tracking and management applied in virtualization?
Create and maintain detailed inventories of software (goes back to block 2 and tracking of software compliance of software license agreements via asset tracking and management)
____ are logical partitions used to separate applications on same server.
