CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 98

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. Serverless
• B. Segmentation
• C. Virtualization
• D. Microservices

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 machines required. Options A (Serverless) and D (Microservices) are more about application architecture than server reduction, while B (Segmentation) focuses on network design rather than server efficiency.
