CompTIA Server+ (SK0-004) — Question 21

An administrator is determining hardware requirements for a new, virtualized test environment. The vendor requires 8Gb of RAM for each host and 2Gb of RAM for each guest. If the server has a total of 32Gb of RAM, which of the following describes how many hosts and guests the server can support?

Answer options

• A. 4 hosts and 0 guests
• B. 2 hosts and 8 guests
• C. 1 host and 12 guests
• D. 1 host and 16 guests

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because with 1 host using 8Gb of RAM, 24Gb remains for guests, allowing for 12 guests (2Gb each). Option A uses all RAM for hosts, leaving no room for guests. Option B fits 2 hosts but only allows for 8 guests, and option D uses too much RAM for hosts, limiting guest capacity to 16.
