Virtualization - (answer)running multiple systems simultaneously on one physical computer
System Virtualization - (answer)The process of emulating hardware so it can
be made available to multiple logical systems
True or False: Each system is independent of all others - (answer)True
A single computer (virtual server) appears as WHAT TYPE of computers to multiple client or
guest
operating systems? - (answer)independent
Traditional vs virtualized - (answer)-Traditionally, hardware is dedicated to OS, on which
applications run
-Virtualization software emulates hardware,
which guest OSes use as if real
When did virtualization start? and why? - (answer)Started by IBM in the 1960s to
,partition large mainframe-based systems
When did virtualization stop? and why? - (answer)Abandoned in the 1980s - 90s. Due to

existing Operating System as an application
Client Based (Hosted) Architecture typically allows the best support for what host hardware? -
(answer)Sound cards, USB ports, etc.
Another name for Client Based (Hosted) Architecture is... - (answer)Workstation virtualization
, Which architecture if more efficient...Client Based(Hosted) Architecture or Bare-
Metal(Hypervisor) Architecture? - (answer)Bare-Metal(Hypervisor) Architecture
True or False: Separate Operating System are required for Bare-Metal (Hypervisor) Architecture
- (answer)False, No separate Operating System is necessary
Bare-Metal (Hypervisor) Architecture - (answer)Virtualization layer that is installed directly on
the hardware
Virtual Machine(VM) - (answer)Each environment available for O/S installation
Guest Operating System - (answer)The operating system installed in a VM
Host Operating System - (answer)In a hosted architecture, the O/S in which the
virtualization software runs
Hypervisor - (answer)The software that provides the virtualization layer in a bare-metal
architecture
