Assignment 1 Specification
Description
Applications of all kinds are critical to the daily operations of enterprises all over the world. While
hypervisor virtualization technology has become the standard for managing applications, software
components, containers enable IT professionals to install, run, maintain, and upgrade applications
and their su
ounding environments quickly, consistently, and more efficiently than their hypervisor
counterparts. This is making Containers a popular topic for many IT professionals, and is increasing
traction in the enterprise.
Write a report addressing following question with the help of figures and example scenarios.
1. What is a Data Centre and discuss different operation performed in data centre, how data
centres divided in Different tiers based on what criteria’s? Give example of few famous
Australia based Data centres.
2. What is Hypervisor-Based Server Virtualization Technology, its use and explain at least
two examples of it. Also, compare both examples based on their features and limitations.
3. What is container-based virtualization and why we need it? Discuss at least two examples
of it and also, compare both examples based on their features and limitations.
Instructions: Students need to read three to four articles about hypervisor virtualization technology,
Data Centre and container-based virtualization applications to explore how these technologies work
and their different features. Students can choose to research about any vendor application.
Demonstration: Students should prepare presentation slides and take screen shots of slide and paste
at the end of assignment draft. The tutor will ask each student 2-3 questions from submitted work.
The demonstration from each student should not be more than 8 minutes.
Task 1
Write a report covering and detailing above applications while emphasizing on the following aspects:
