QUESTION 6 OF 30

Are you familiar with programs such as VMware or Virtualbox? How do you use these to manage virtualization of systems on the network?

VMware is a popular tool used by most systems administrators to create virtual systems on their networks. The benefit of this is to utilize excessive compute resources on individual hardware servers, enabling additional users or processes on the system without adding incremental hardware. As a systems administrator, you should be familiar with this tool and be able to discuss its use.

"I am very familiar with VMware and have used it extensively in all of my previous positions. This enabled me to configure the individual systems as several virtual machines, reducing the number of systems I needed to manage. It also reduces the power and cooling requirements for the data center. This saves the organization money and makes it easier for the systems engineers to manage the IT infrastructure."
