Operating Systems Overview

What is process management in an organization?

• Process management is related to resource management in an organization

• Process management is not essential for the functioning of an organization

• Process management involves only task delegation

• Process management in an organization involves activities such as task assignment, scheduling, completion, and communication between teams.

Explain the concept of memory management in a company's IT department.

• Memory management in a company's IT department involves efficiently allocating and deallocating memory resources to optimize system performance.

• Memory management in a company's IT department only allocates memory but does not deallocate it.

• Memory management is not necessary in a company's IT department.

• Memory management in a company's IT department involves managing hard disk space instead of RAM.

How does a library organize and store books on its shelves?

• The library uses a hierarchical structure of shelves and sections, with each book stored in a specific location identified by a unique call number.

• The library scatters books randomly across the shelves.

• The library organizes books based on their size.

• The library stores all books in a single location.

Discuss the importance of security in a company's IT infrastructure.

• Security is not important in IT infrastructure

• Security in IT infrastructure is crucial for protecting sensitive data, preventing cyber attacks, ensuring business continuity, and safeguarding customer information.

• Data protection is not a concern in IT infrastructure

• Cyber attacks are beneficial for IT infrastructure

How does virtualization benefit a company's IT infrastructure?

• Virtualization creates virtual versions of devices or resources, allowing multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical machine, improving resource utilization, scalability, and management.

• Virtualization reduces security by exposing the underlying hardware to potential threats

• Virtualization is a physical machine running multiple operating systems simultaneously

• Virtualization limits the ability to scale resources dynamically

Explain the role of device management in a school's IT infrastructure.

• Device management is responsible for maintaining the school's website.

• Device management in a school's IT infrastructure involves controlling and coordinating the computers and printers connected to the network.

• Device management involves managing student grades only.

Why is it important for Joyce, Jane, John, Moses, and Ananda to understand the purpose of a page table in memory management?

• Understanding the purpose of a page table in memory management helps in mapping virtual memory addresses to physical memory addresses.

• Page tables play a crucial role in network routing.

• Page tables are essential for organizing file systems.

• Knowing the purpose of a page table is key to managing CPU cache effectively.

How does encryption contribute to enhancing security in a school's student database?

• Encryption is not compatible with modern student databases

• Encryption makes student data more vulnerable to cyber attacks

• Encryption slows down student database performance

• Encryption converts student data into a secure format that can only be accessed with the correct decryption key.

Discuss the advantages of using virtual machines for software development in a team project involving Moses, Jane, and John.

• Virtual machines increase software development costs

• Virtual machines offer sandboxed environment, easy testing of different OS/configurations, dependency isolation, reproducibility, and collaboration benefits.

• Virtual machines slow down software development processes

• Virtual machines hinder collaboration due to complexity
