What is a hypervisor?
Hardware device used to provide an interface between storage and compute modules
Hardware device used to provide an interface between networking and compute modules
Software used to log and monitor virtualized operations
Software used to administrate virtualized resources run on physical infrastructure
Which of the following best describes server virtualization?
“Sharding” data from multiple sources into a single virtual data store
Logically partitioning physical compute and storage devices into multiple smaller virtual devices
Aggregating physical resources spread over multiple physical devices into a single virtual device
