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 surrounding 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: Field and Purpose of the application Working model of the application Scalability issues Features and Weaknesses of the application Socio-Technical aspects Task 2 Prepare a PowerPoint presentation discussing the main features of the given applications. The PowerPoint presentation should have at least 10 slides and students should present for 6-8 minutes during lab time in Week 8. BN208 Networked Application Assignment 1 Page 3 of 4 Prepared by: Mr. Ameet Kumar Moderated by: Dr. Fariza Sabrina July, 2018 Further instructions: - Do not use Wikipedia as neither source nor reference. - Read articles from the books or the ones published in journals and conferences for each topic and then rewrite those using your own words. - Use IEEE style referencing, and make sure to properly reference any diagrams/ graphics. Submissions: Students has to submit only one word document on Moodle which includes task 1 and task 2. At the end of task 1, copy the slides from task 2 and paste it into the same document then upload it on Moodle.
