Question

Windows 2016 Server supports the use of Hyper-V. Hyper-V is a role you can install to create what are known as virtual machines or VM’s.

1. What do you think are some interesting kinds of things a VM can do to allow you to expand the functionality of your network? Be as detailed in your response as you can.
2. At the same time, what are some useful ways you can see that VMs could be used to reduce the cost of purchasing additional computers or computer peripherals?

Flesh out your thoughts and interact with your classmates. Post your initial response by Wednesday each week and then return on a couple of other days to see what’s going on with the discussions. The more you interact, the more you learn from your peers, and the more you share with them about what you know. You’ll also be showing your instructor what you’ve picked up.

Answer 1

Hyper-V (windows server virtualization product):-

Windows 2016 Server supports the use of Hyper-V:-

Hyper-V product in windows server replaces the older virtualization products like windows virtual PC and Microsoft virtual server.it gives the high performance in networking and high storage and security features.that's the reason windows 2016 server uses the Hyper-V.

Hyper-V is a role you can install to create what are known as VM’s:-

Its a Microsoft hardware virtualization product.here we can create and run software version of operating system known to be virtual machine.the created virtual machine can acts like a complete computer with OS and computer programs.

VM functionality in networking:-

• Network virtualization allows to run applications or programs on virtual network as if they were running in physical network.
• And provides the benefits for the operation and all hardware independencies of virtualization.
• Network virtualization is the ability to manage the priority traffic portions of network that might be shared among different external networks.
• suppose we are using the Linux operating system as virtual machine,we are done with our work and then we deleted VM and continue with the operating system on our host machine.this flexibility makes VM so popular.
• virtualization makes development,testing and deployment of applications a lot faster.with the automated tools in VM can improves the security of a virtualized network.

Reducing of cost with VM for purchasing new computers:-

• Hardware and new computers costs more expensive in IT department.by virtualization its cuts cost of need for lot of physical routers,switches and servers.
• Virtualization is not only for that devices maintenence,here we can replace them with other virtual devices for eliminating the costs of repairing.
• virtualization gives less time to computation and puts more effort.the only thing it can require is giving storage area for virtualization allocation.
• In virtual machines there is disaster recovery for hardware.A virtualized network helps to get system and applications backup faster.
• virtualized network improves the security for online business dealings,industries,such as finances and healthcare.

With these benefits Virtual machines are reducing the costs of buying new hardware computers and computer peripherals.
