Answer options

• A. reduced rack space, power, and cooling requirements
• B. smaller Layer 2 domain
• C. increased security

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers, A and D, highlight that virtualization leads to reduced rack space, power, and cooling requirements, as multiple VMs can run on a single physical server, and enables rapid deployment of services. Other options like B, C, and E do not accurately reflect the primary benefits of server virtualization in a data center context.
