Mark is a brand new network administrator and is learning his way around the server room. While looking around he notices that there is only one physical server. He asks Amanda, the more experienced technician how many servers they are using and she responds by telling him three. Which of the following best explains what is going on?
  1. They have a displaced Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) that is controlling the servers.
  2. They have implemented load balancing on their servers to maximize efficiency.
  3. They are using VPN Tunneling.
  4. They are using Virtualization and the additional servers are virtual servers located on the single physical device.
Explanation
Answer: D - Using virtualization and that the additional servers are virtual servers located on the single physical device is what best explains this situation.

Key Takeaway: By using virtualization, it is now possible to have multiple operating systems, and environments running at the same time on a single physical device such as a server. This is greatly beneficial for central administration and cost efficiency. They could be using VPN Tunneling to access an additional Virtual Server, but D is the best answer.
