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

- Each student must respond to Question #1.
- If your last name begins with the letter A through L, you must also respond to Question #2.
- If your name begins with the letter M thorugh Z, you must also respond to Question #3.

NOTE: Each student will be responsible for responding to two questions. Please indicate the number of the questions to which you are responding. You must also respond to your classmates' posts.

1. You have been instructed to install several applications that require centralized database storage and isolate these applications from other currently deployed network applications shared by users on the network. What strategy would you use and how would you implement it in a Server 2012 environment?
2. You need to test several new applications that will be hosted on virtual machines that contain the same basic installation base. These applications must be tested separately first before they can be integrated into the production network. How would you support this process and what Server 2012 features would you use?
3. You need several virtual machines and their associated host server to be connected together while providing the server with Internet accessibility. How would you accomplish this task while maintaining server security from attacks launched from the Internet?

The initial discussion response must be at least 7 sentences long and peer responses will consist of at least four sentences. This discussion will be graded using the CTS 2334 Discussion Rubric. Use the information in the rubric as a guide toward successful completion of this module's discussion.
