Due to a competitor's unlimited data plan, a service provider is struggling and wants to transform its business services to be more hosting oriented. A cloud architect is tasked to review current clou

Migrating all media services to one server eliminates redundant hardware and reduces ongoing operational costs directly aligned with the business pivot toward hosting services. Decommissioning two servers frees up physical or virtual resources that can be reallocated or retired, improving the overall utilization ratio. This option achieves right-sizing without introducing new capital expenditures.

Decommissioning servers 2 and 3 before confirming the remaining server can absorb all media workloads risks service disruption without validating the consolidation path first.

Adding a new host server while also consolidating and decommissioning introduces unnecessary capital expenditure that conflicts with the cost-reduction goal of downsizing the infrastructure.

Converting only server 1 to a host without decommissioning any servers fails to reduce infrastructure overhead and does not address the underutilization identified in the capacity report.
