Network Architecture and Hypervisors

Centralized Network

A network architecture where all network resources and services are managed from a single central point, allowing for easier administration and control.

Decentralized Network

A network architecture where resources and services are distributed across multiple nodes, promoting resilience and reducing reliance on a single point of failure.

Client/Server

A network architecture model where client devices request resources or services from centralized servers, which provide those resources or services.

Peer-to-Peer Model

A network architecture where each node, or peer, can act as both a client and a server, allowing for direct resource sharing and communication between devices without a central server.

Hypervisor 1

A type of virtualization software that allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine by managing the hardware resources and providing virtualized environments.

Hypervisor 2

A type of hypervisor that runs directly on the host's hardware to control the hardware and manage guest operating systems, providing greater efficiency and performance.
