Terms in this definition
- Business View
Categorisation feature that sorts infrastructure into groups and categories reflecting business needs, for example purpose or department, which are then usable for alerting, monitoring and reports.
- property
In VCF Operations, an attribute describing how an object is configured, such as its vCPU count. Unlike a metric, it captures state rather than performance over time, and it can feed symptom definitions, views, dashboards and reports.
- State
A parameter in OAuth that carries custom data through the authorisation flow and back, as with the "Support state parameter" option in APIM.
- Dynamic membership group
A group, either security or Microsoft 365, where a rule on user or device properties decides who belongs, adding and removing people automatically. You can't add anyone manually, and a Microsoft Entra ID P1 licence is needed for every distinct member.
- Hypervisor
The virtualisation software allowing many isolated virtual machines to run on a single physical server. The cloud provider looks after it whichever service type is used.
- backup server
The Windows or Linux machine running Veeam Backup & Replication, which manages and coordinates jobs, schedules and resources and keeps global settings. When first installed it also takes on the default proxy and repository roles.
