Describe the major features to look for in a Virtualization Platform.

 Features to look for in a Virtualization Platform

 1. Reduction of Capital Expenditures (CAPEX): 

Server usage levels are typically modest, averaging approximately 15%. Virtualization has the potential to double throughput. This implies that a corporation may utilize less hardware and save money on electricity. It is important to note that this must be balanced against the total cost of ownership of the virtualization platform.

2. System Consolidation: 

An organization decreases the number of physical servers necessary by running numerous applications and operating systems. This is a method of utilizing computer server resources efficiently to decrease the total number of servers or server locations required by a company.

3. Ease of System Management:

 Easy administration in this sense refers to how quickly new services such as platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and software as a service (SaaS) can be implemented. It also refers to the agility and rapidity with which new application stacks are deployed.

4.  Platform Maturity: 

Virtualization is a costly long-term investment that will be squandered if suppliers are swapped. As a result, new market entrants may not be a good option for mission-critical data centers.

5. Hardware Compatibility: 

Hardware challenges with virtualizing platforms include outright incompatibility and sub-optimal performance. Hosted hypervisors often support the widest range of hardware types, whereas bare-bonesvirtualizers are often picky about supported hardware. If you intend to reuse existing gear, be sure that your platform of choice supports it.

6. Total Cost of Ownership: 

The total cost of ownership includes more than simply the cost of acquiring a virtualization platform. Additional costs should be considered, such as guest licensing, training and support, and hardware. The acquisition of sophisticated management is one expense component that is frequently overlooked. These are typically not included in the initial purchase price.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?
