CompTIA: Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP) Exam Prep

Answer: B - Multiple operating systems can be installed on a single operating system platform using the VMware application.

Key Takeaway: VMware provides a virtualization technology that abstracts the hardware on the system and allows multiple virtual machines to share it. In essence, this allows multiple operating systems to run on one physical system and makes them appear as if they are standalone entities. These virtual systems are unaware they are virtual and unaware of any other virtual systems on the same hardware unless through regular networking technologies. This is a great way of maximizing physical resources to maximize the investment in hardware.
