F Annex Test 2

Front 1

Virtualization

Back 1

The process of implementing multiple operating systems on the same set of physical hardware in order to better utilize the hardware. Allows the network planner to run multiple operating systems independently on one computer.

Front 2

Most common reasons for implementing virtualization

Back 2

1. Server consolidation and efficiency

2. Legacy application support

3. Legacy operating system support

4. Demonstrations

5. Testing

6. Education and learning

Front 3

Hypervisor

Back 3

A bare metal operating system, meaning it is installed onto a computer as the primary Operating System. It is much more efficient than hosted virtualization software because it does not waste any resources of the computer. All of the resources are applied to the VMs.

Front 4

Virtualization software employed within the USMC

Back 4

The VMWare family of virtualization software. Currently the hosted software available for use is VMWare Player, Workstation, and Server.

The software is ESX and ESCi.

Front 5

Characteristics of a Virtual Server

Back 5

1. CPU reservations

2. Virtual RAM

3. Virtual Hard Drive

4. NIC

5. CD ROM

A virtual machine has no knowledge of other virtual machines on the same physical computer.

No knowledge of the virtualization software - hypervisor or hosted.

Can communicate with other computers both physical and virtual using the OSI mode.

Front 6

The Fault Tolerance benefit in a Virtual Environment

Back 6

virtual servers significantly improve fault tolerance because virtual servers are not tied to a physical server.

Front 7

The Scalability benefit in a Virtual Environment

Back 7

Virtualization adds a great deal of scalability to the network, if there is increased demand, more virtual servers can quickly be created by simply copying the existing virtual servers.

Front 8

The Quality of Service benefit in a Virtual Environment

Back 8

Virtualization improves QoS to the user, virtual servers can quickly be moved from one physical server to another to improve physical performance.

Front 9

The Security benefit in a Virtual Environment

Back 9

Virtualization increases the security of the network - primarily reduces the number of roles that a single server is running, reducing the vulnerability into the network from both external and internal security threats.

Front 10

Blue Force Tracker (BFT)

Back 10

L-band satellite C2 system that allows users to create, send and display situational awareness information across the BFT network allowing users to see who is where and report on observed events as they are occurring or what is known as near real-time reporting.

Events are displayed in graphical format on an electronic map in vehicles on the battlefield and in the COC on their BFT system providing a unified Situational Awareness picture across the network.

The BFT system supports both ground and air operations in theater and in some branches of service are a required component of the vehicle or aircraft. Each BFT unit has a unique role name for identifying that unit.
