2V0-622D · Question #53
What are two benefits of datacenter virtualization? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is C. More efficient use of resources D. Same hardware footprint for every machine. Virtualization improves resource efficiency by consolidating workloads and provides hardware abstraction so VMs can be assigned a consistent, standardized virtual hardware profile across all machines.

Why each option
Virtualization improves resource efficiency by consolidating workloads and provides hardware abstraction so VMs can be assigned a consistent, standardized virtual hardware profile across all machines.
Virtualization does not reduce the volume of data requiring backup - VM image-based backups and snapshots can actually increase storage requirements compared to file-level backups on physical servers.
Virtualization introduces hypervisor overhead, which generally requires more CPU cycles for the same workload compared to running an application directly on bare-metal hardware.
Virtualization allows multiple VMs to share the same physical CPU, memory, and storage resources, dramatically increasing utilization compared to dedicated physical servers where resources often sit idle.
Because VMs run on abstracted virtual hardware, each VM can be assigned a uniform, standardized hardware configuration regardless of the underlying physical host differences, simplifying management and enabling portability.
