1

Virtual machine

In Hyper-V, a virtual machine is a software-based representation of a physical computer. It is created and managed using Hyper-V and can be used to run operating systems and applications just like a physical computer. A virtual machine consists of several components, including a virtual processor, virtual memory, and virtual storage.

2

Smart paging

In Hyper-V, smart paging is a feature that allows a virtual machine to temporarily use disk space as additional memory when it is running low on physical memory. Smart paging works by creating a page file on the physical host’s disk and using it to store pages of memory that are not being actively used by the virtual machine.

3

Virtual hard drive

In Hyper-V, a virtual hard drive is a file that represents a hard drive in a virtual machine. It is used to store the operating system, applications, and data for the virtual machine, just like a physical hard drive on a physical computer. A virtual hard drive can be created and managed using Hyper-V, and can be stored on the physical host’s disk or on a network location.

4

Server virtualization

Server virtualization in Hyper-V refers to the process of using Hyper-V to create and manage virtualized computing environments on a physical server. This allows multiple operating systems and applications to run on a single physical server, using virtualized hardware resources such as virtual processors, virtual memory, and virtual storage.

The test is created by a subject-matter expert

Testlify’s skill tests are designed by experienced SMEs (subject matter experts). We evaluate these experts based on specific metrics such as expertise, capability, and their market reputation. Prior to being published, each skill test is peer-reviewed by other experts and then calibrated based on insights derived from a significant number of test-takers who are well-versed in that skill area. Our inherent feedback systems and built-in algorithms enable our SMEs to refine our tests continually.
