Question
A company is migrating their physical servers to virtual. The administrator is tasked with migrating three servers:
One application server with a dual-core 3.2GHz processor that reaches 50% CPU utilization at peak time. Two web servers, each with a dual-core 3.2GHz processor, both reaching 70% CPU utilization at peak time. Currently, the administrator only has two hosts available, so resources will need to be set for the new VMs. Each host has two 2.4GHz quad-core processors. One host is already near maximum capacity, and the second host is at 30% CPU utilization. Which of the following would be the BEST minimum CPU resources set on the second host for the new VMs?
Options
- A1,600 MHz for the application server and 2,300 MHz for each web server.
- B3,300 MHz for the application server and 4,600 MHz for each web server.
- C3,300 MHz for the application server and 5,250 MHz for each web server.
- D5,250 MHz for the application server and 7,080 MHZ for each web server.

Explanation
The goal is to determine the MINIMUM CPU resources needed for each VM based on actual peak utilization from the source servers. Each source server has a single 3.2 GHz (3,200 MHz) processor speed as the baseline: the application server peaks at 50% utilization → 3,200 × 0.50 = 1,600 MHz minimum; each web server peaks at 70% utilization → 3,200 × 0.70 = 2,240 MHz ≈ 2,300 MHz minimum. These minimums ensure each VM gets exactly what it needs at peak load without over-allocating resources on the second host, which is already at 30% utilization. The higher values in options B, C, and D would incorrectly account for dual-core totals or additional overhead beyond what is required as a minimum.
