Which of the following is the PRIMARY advantage of using virtualization technology for corporate applications?
Answer options
- A. Improved disaster recovery
- B. Stronger data security
- C. Better utilization of resources
- D. Increased application performance
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The primary advantage of virtualization technology is its ability to allow better utilization of resources, as it enables multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server, optimizing resource allocation. While improved disaster recovery, stronger data security, and increased application performance can be benefits of virtualization, they are not the primary focus compared to resource utilization.
