Title: Module 4 Introduction
Course: CTS 2234 Server Operating Systems > Section: Module 4 - Configuring Virtual Machine Setting, Creating Virtual Machine Storage and Configuring Virtual Networks

Virtualization is a technology that allows administrators to deploy instant operating systems with applications on multiple computers simultaneously throughout an enterprise network. The virtualized image saves time and effort needed to otherwise install an operating system and user specific applications on a computer. Server 2012 supports the distribution of virtualized operating systems.  The creation of virtual networks enhances network operations and hardens security services within a domain to protect it against interlopers or attackers.

In this module you will configure server memory and resources to support virtualization and implement virtual networks to support virtual machine operations.

Module Objectives

Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:

- Configure system virtual memory and resource monitoring
- Create virtual disk images and manage disk storage
