A technician needs to deploy a new Internet facing web server and internal database server. The web server will use the database backend to retrieve shopping cart information. Which of the following c

Virtualizing both servers on the same host minimizes physical resource consumption by allowing the guest operating systems to share a single set of hardware components like CPU, RAM, and storage, which is the most resource-efficient deployment among the options.

Placing only the database server on a virtual farm doesn't explicitly address the web server's deployment or overall resource usage, and typically a virtual farm supports multiple servers, not just one with a physical NIC.

Configuring a single web server with two physical NICs is an inefficient use of physical resources on a virtual farm, as virtual machines primarily use virtual NICs that are mapped to fewer physical ones.

Deploying both servers on a pair of redundant host servers explicitly means using more physical hardware (two host servers) than a single host, directly contradicting the goal of utilizing the least resources.
