Understanding Virtualization:
Virtualization is the process of creating virtual versions of physical resources, such as servers, storage, or networks, to maximize their utilization.
Cost Reduction and Simplified Management:
Virtualization reduces hardware costs by allowing multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server.
It simplifies IT management by enabling easier resource allocation, scaling, and disaster recovery.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
Option A: Virtualization increases resource availability, not restricts it.
Option C: Virtualization enhances workload distribution, reducing stagnation.
Option D: It reduces reliance on manual operations by enabling automation and centralized control.
