Section B
11. A) Moore’s Law
Explain Moore’s Law
that processing power roughly doubles every 18 months.
Example
11. B) Virtualization Characteristics
Fundamental changes in computing services
disruptive technology
abstraction of some physical component into a logical object.
Virtualization Examples
Types
12. A) Step by step of creating Virtual Machine
Investigating the Physical-to-Virtual Process
Hot and Cold Cloning
Loading Environment
VM Installation
VM Configuration
12. B) Open Virtualization Format
OVF is a standard - representing key vendors in the various areas of
virtualization
Purpose - to create a platform and vendor-neutral format to bundle up
virtual machines into one or more fi les that can be easily transported
from one virtualization platform to another
The OVF template
single file using the TAR format, ova extension
13. A) Process of virtual storage pathway
abstracting the storage resources

14. A) Usage of Virtualization and storage services
Aggregation and pooling solutions
virtualization services are implemented in different locations to
support various tasks.

maintenance
14. B)
OUT OF SYLLABUS QUESTION
15.A) Network Virtualization
The technology that enables partitioning or aggregating a collection
of network resources
data centre virtual network technologies
Overlay tunnel Concept
Overlay networks
Virtual Private Network
15.B) Types of VNF
Edge devices
Gateway functions
Application optimization
Mobile network equipment’s
Security functions
Section C
16. A) Role of Type 1 and Type-2 Hypervisors
Type 1 hypervisors run directly on the server hardware without an
operating system beneath it
Type 1 hypervisors - Diagram and Explanation
A Type 2 hypervisor itself is an application that runs atop a traditional
operating system
Type 2 hypervisors - Diagram and Explanation
Provide an environment identical to the physical environment
Provide that environment with minimal performance cost
Retain complete control of the system resources
16. B) Hardwar abstraction and resource allocation in Hypervisor
hypervisor has become an operating system of sorts for the hardware,
but instead of dealing with application/program requests, the
hypervisor services entire (virtual) servers
Diagram and explanation
Server consolidation
17.A) Processing of Loading windows into a virtual machine
Loading windows into a virtual machine
configuration options
Optimizing a new virtual machine
17.B) Process of installing VM Tools
Select Virtual Machine from the menu at the top of the VMware
Player window
Choose Run [Link] to continue.
Setup Type selection window where there are short descriptions
of the three options
The VMware Tools are installed, and you can mark the progress
on the displayed Status screen.
Finally, will need to reboot the VM one more time
18.A) Memory Virtualization
Configuring VM Memory Options
Calculating Memory Overhead
Memory Optimizations
Ballooning memory
Memory overcommitment
Page sharing
18. B ) Storage Area Network
storage area networks (SANs) provide greater flexibility, improved
availability, and more efficient use of storage resources by abstracting
the physical devices into logical objects that can be quickly and easily
manipulated
A SAN (Storage Area Network) or NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a
disk storage device that is connected to a computer through a
dedicated storage network
A SAN usually connects via a specialized controller, sometimes called a
Fibre-Channel Controller (FCC), or a Host-Bus Adapter (HBA).
