Question

A startup company offering software on demand has hired a security consultant to provide expertise on data security. The company's clients are concerned about data confidentiality. The security consultant must design an environment with data confidentiality as the top priority, over availability and integrity. Which of the following designs is BEST suited for this purpose?

Options

  • AAll of the company servers are virtualized in a highly available environment sharing common
  • BAll of the company servers are virtualized in a highly available environment sharing common
  • CEach client is assigned a set of virtual hosts running shared hardware.
  • DEach client is assigned a set of virtual hosts running shared hardware.

Explanation

The correct answer is C. When data confidentiality is the top priority, the greatest risk in cloud/virtualized environments is data leakage between tenants. Option C assigns each client a dedicated set of virtual hosts, but they still run on shared physical hardware. This provides logical isolation per client - no cross-tenant memory or storage access - while remaining cost-effective. Options A and B describe shared virtual environments where workloads from multiple clients may co-reside on the same virtual hosts, increasing the risk of data exposure through side-channel attacks or misconfiguration. Option D is similar to C but may differ in hardware-level isolation. The key principle: dedicated virtual hosts per client provides strong logical separation, protecting confidentiality even on shared infrastructure.
