Week1 - Tutorial Exercises

Perform online research, ie. Google search, Online Forums, Vendor Website, Youtube Videos
etc, and respond to the following Questions. You are not required to submit, but this will assist
you in preparing for Online Quiz Assessment.

1. What is Virtualization Technology?


In computing, virtualization or virtualisation is the act of creating a virtual version of
something at the same abstraction level, including virtual computer hardware
platforms, storage devices, and computer network resources
2. What is the difference between Physical and Virtual infrastructure?
virtual servers are more space-efficient. By contrast, physical servers require much
more space since they have to house physical hardware such as CPU, memory, and
storage.
3. What is Hypervisor?
A hypervisor is a type of computer software, firmware or hardware that creates and runs virtual
machines. 
4. What is the differences between type 1 and type 2 Hypervisors? Give examples of each
case.
Type 1 runs directly on the hardware with Virtual Machine resources provided. Type 2
runs on the host OS to provide virtualization management and other services.
5. Give a brief description of the following types of Virtualizations:
i) Network virtualisation
abstracting network resources that were traditionally delivered in hardware to
software. NV can combine multiple physical networks to one virtual, software-
based network, or it can divide one physical network into separate,
independent virtual networks.
ii) Storage virtualisation
Storage virtualization is the pooling of physical storage from multiple storage
devices into what appears to be a single storage device
iii) Data virtualisation
Data virtualization is a logical data layer that integrates all enterprise data
siloed across the disparate systems, manages the unified data for centralized
security and governance, and delivers it to business users in real time.
iv) Desktop virtualisation
technology that lets users simulate a workstation load to access a desktop from
a connected device
v) Application virtualisation
a process that deceives a standard app into believing that it interfaces directly
with an operating system's capacities when, in fact, it does not
6. What are advantages and disadvantages of virtualisation?
Pros of Virtualization. Uses Hardware Efficiently. Available at all Times. Recovery is Easy. Quick
and Easy Setup. ...
Cons of Virtualization. High Initial Investment. Data Can be at Risk. Quick Scalability is a
Challenge.
