CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 387

A company is redesigning its infrastructure and wants to reduce the number of physical servers in use. Which of the following architectures is best suited for this goal?

Answer options

• A. Isolation
• B. Segmentation
• C. Virtualization
• D. Redundancy

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Virtualization, as it allows multiple virtual servers to run on a single physical server, significantly reducing the number of physical servers needed. Options A and B, Isolation and Segmentation, focus more on security and network design rather than server reduction. Option D, Redundancy, aims to ensure availability and reliability, not to decrease the number of physical servers.
