A data center has recently updated a physical server to host multiple operating systems on a single CPU. The data center can now provide each customer with a separate web server without having to allocate an actual discrete server for each customer. What is the networking trend that is being implemented by the data center in this situation?
- BYOD
- virtualization
- maintaining communication integrity
- online collaboration
| Explanation & Hint:
The main function of a hypervisor is: It is used to create and manage multiple VM instances on a host machine. A hypervisor, also known as a virtual machine monitor (VMM), is software that creates and runs virtual machines (VMs). It allows one host computer to support multiple guest VMs by virtually sharing its resources, such as memory and processing. There are two types of hypervisors: Type 1 (or bare-metal) hypervisors run directly on the host’s hardware to control the hardware and to manage guest operating systems, while Type 2 (or hosted) hypervisors run on a conventional operating system just like other computer programs. |
