Cloud Characteristics
Cloud characteristics distinguish cloud provisioning from on-premises or hosted client/server network architecture.
Training
Changes to the VM can be discarded after the lab, restoring the original environment for the next student.
Impact Printer
Impact printers strike an inked ribbon against paper to create marks.
Impact Maintenance
When print quality deteriorates, replace the ribbon holder and contents as an integrated component.
Public
Offered over the Internet by a cloud service provider (CSP) to multiple tenants. This model often includes subscription or pay-as-you-go options, and sometimes free lower-tier services. As a shared resource, it carries performance and security risks. Multicloud architectures involve using services from multiple CSPs.
Cross-Platform Virtualization
Test software applications under different OSs and resource constraints.
Laser Printer
Laser printers are popular for office use due to their affordability, quiet operation, speed, and high-quality output
Laser Maintenance
Unplug the printer from the power supply. Open the panels, and allow all components to cool to room temperature.
Private
Cloud infrastructure exclusively owned and managed by an organization. A dedicated business unit typically manages the cloud, while other units use it.
Sandboxing
Create an isolated environment, or sandbox, to analyze malware (viruses, worms, Trojans). Containing malware within the guest OS prevents it from infecting the researcher's computer or network.
Inkjet Printer
Inkjet printers are often used for good-quality color output, such as photo printing. They are typically inexpensive to purchase but costly to operate due to expensive ink cartridges and high-grade paper. Compared to laser printers, inkjets are slower and noisier, making them less popular in office environments, except for low-volume, high-quality color printing.
Inkjet Maintenance
Stocking paper and replacing ink cartridges, as they can deplete quickly.
Community
Several organizations share the costs of a hosted private or fully private cloud to pool resources for common concerns, such as standardization and security policies.
Legacy Software
If host computers are upgraded, older software may not be compatible with the new OS.
Thermal Printer
The most common type you'll support is the direct thermal printer, used for high-volume barcode, label printing, and receipts.
Thermal Maintenance
Open the printer case, insert the roll with the shiny, heat-sensitive side facing outward, and ensure the paper end is held by the print head when closing the case.
Hybrid
Combines public, private, and/or community cloud elements. A hybrid deployment might use a public cloud for some functions while keeping sensitive data and applications on-premises.
Client-side Virtualization
refers to solutions designed to run on standard desktops or workstations, where each user interacts directly with the virtualization host
