Virtualization, Fault Tolerance

Discussion   Virtualization

1. Supporting Activity: Virtualization

Write a 200- to 300-word short-answer response to the following:

Many companies use virtualization to create test enviornments to test software and applications before releasing them. We do that before releasing anything new to our users. That way we can work out any bugs before hand?

2. Virtualization

Write a 200- to 300-word short-answer response to the following:

We use VMware at work to run Virtual servers. What are some benefits of running virtualization?

3. Virtualization

Write a 200- to 300-word short-answer response to the following:

There are different ways you can use virtulazation. One technique is hardware virtualization and that technique has several different types such as virtual machines, full virtualization, para-virtualization, and operating system level virtualization. Can you discuss para-virtualization?

Discussion    Fault Tolerance

4. Supporting Activity: Fault Tolerance

Write a 200- to 300-word short-answer response to the following:

Do you think we will ever have a system that will be ever be 100% fault tolerant?

5. Supporting Activity: Fault Tolerance

Write a 200- to 300-word short-answer response to the following:

A fault is basically a deviation from expected behavior. Faults  may be due to a variety of factors, including hardware, software, operator (user), and network errors. Faults fall into three categories:

- transient faults

- intermittent faults

- permanent faults

Can you discuss transient faults in more detail?
