Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 179

What is a Type 1 hypervisor?

Answer options

• A. runs directly on a physical server and depends on a previously installed operating system
• B. runs directly on a physical server and includes its own operating system
• C. runs on a virtual server and depends on an already installed operating system
• D. runs on a virtual server and includes its own operating system

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a Type 1 hypervisor runs directly on the host's hardware and does not require a host operating system, which allows for better performance and efficiency. Options A, C, and D incorrectly describe Type 1 hypervisors as they either rely on an operating system or run on virtual servers, which is characteristic of Type 2 hypervisors.
