The designers of a proposed data center are evaluating the requirements to use virtualization for the services it provides. Which type of design consideration is being addressed?
Options:
A.
Logical
B.
Regulatory
C.
Environmental
D.
Physical
Answer
A
Explanation
Evaluating the use of virtualization addresses a logical design consideration. Managing Cloud documentation explains that logical design focuses on system architecture, virtualization layers, network segmentation, and service delivery models.
Virtualization determines how workloads are abstracted from physical hardware, how resources are shared, and how isolation is enforced between workloads. Decisions related to hypervisors, virtual machines, containers, and orchestration platforms fall under logical architecture rather than physical layout or environmental controls.
Regulatory considerations involve compliance requirements, environmental considerations include power and cooling, and physical considerations address space and hardware placement. Therefore, virtualization is a logical design consideration.
