ITE8 - Module 9 Terms

broad network access

• A high-quality, fast printer that uses a laser beam to create an image.
• A type of network access in which capabilities are available over the network and can be accessed using smartphones, tablets, laptops, and workstations.
• A device in the cloud that allows network administrators to manage network devices.
• A command that is used to work with system images before they are deployed.

client-side emulator

• Communication with a hardware component in a computer, which is governed by a device driver.
• Both hardware and software that can be used to behave like or imitate a different system. Some uses are running an OS on a hardware platform for which it was not designed, running a Windows program on a Mac, and more.
• A current that changes direction at a uniformly repetitive rate. This type of electricity typically is provided by a utility company and is accessed through wall sockets.
• An iOS search field that shows suggestions from many sources, including the device itself, the Internet, iTunes, the App Store, and nearby locations.

cloud computing

• A technology that separates applications from hardware and provides on-demand delivery of computing services over the network.
• A tool for transferring selected files, folders, profiles, and applications from an old Windows PC to a Windows 10 PC.
• Ways to accomplish authentication, including using passwords, two-factor authentication, tokens, biometrics, and OTP.
• A virus that attacks device firmware.

cloud computing services

• An option that starts Windows and loads the command prompt instead of the GUI.
• The delivery of computing services that are owned and hosted by service providers.
• A command used to change the current directory to the path specified after the command in Linux, Microsoft CLI, PowerShell, and other CLIs.
• An iOS search field that shows suggestions from many sources, including the device itself, the Internet, iTunes, the App Store, and nearby locations.

cloud service provider

• A company that provides various services tailored to meet customer requirements.
• A collection of tools and technologies designed to help deploy Microsoft Windows operating system images.
• A device that increases the functionality of a computer by adding controllers for specific devices or by replacing malfunctioning ports.
• Another term for an expansion card.

community cloud

• A technician who is typically more knowledgeable and experienced than a level one technician or who has been working for the company for a longer period of time and receives an escalated work order with the description of the problem and then calls the customer back to ask any additional questions and resolves the problem.
• A cloud for exclusive use by specific entities or organizations that is customized for the community.
• Distributed denial of service; an attack that completely overwhelms a target device by having many infected hosts called zombies send false requests to create a denial of service condition for legitimate users.
• An Internet standard that extends the text-based email format to include other formats, such as pictures and word processor documents and that is normally used in conjunction with SMTP.

guest operating system (guest OS)

• A protocol that allows networking devices to send their system messages across the network to syslog servers.
• An extension to Secure Shell (SSH) protocol that can be used to establish a secure file transfer session.
• The operating system that is running in a VM.
• A backlight that shines through an LED screen and illuminates the display.

host computer

• A connection port on a computer that allows various types of peripheral devices to be connected to the system externally.
• A mobile device that is similar to a smartphone and uses a special mobile operating system such as Android or iOS.
• A copy of computer data taken and stored locally or stored elsewhere so that it can be used to restore the original after a data loss event.
• A physical computer controlled by a user. VMs use the system resources of the host machine to boot and run an OS.

host operating system (host OS)

• The operating system of a host computer. Users can use a virtualization emulator on the host OS to create and manage VMs.
• Malware that includes a backdoor for administrative control over the target computer.
• The running of two or more CPUs.
• A smart device that is meant to be worn on the body or attached to clothing.

hybrid cloud

• A part of the laser printing process that involves exposing the photosensitive drum with a laser beam. Every portion of the drum that is scanned with the light has the surface charge reduced to about -100 volts DC. This electrical charge has a lower negative charge than the rest of the drum. As the drum turns, an invisible image is created on the drum.
• A step in the change management process that involves determining and monitoring change logs, implementation steps, and collected documents.
• A standardized physical network interface for connecting telecommunications or data equipment. The most common twisted-pair connector is an 8-position, 8-contact (8P8C) modular plug and jack.
• A cloud made up of two or more different cloud types (such as part private and part public), where each part remains a distinctive object, but the parts are connected using a single architecture.
