FC0-U71 Practice Question: Which TWO of the following are benefits of…
Which TWO of the following are benefits of virtualization in a data center?
⚠ Common exam trap
The FC0-U61 exam often tests the misconception that virtualization inherently improves hardware reliability or simplifies networking, when in fact it primarily improves resource utilization and disaster recovery capabilities.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Improved disaster recovery capabilities
Virtualization enables rapid restoration of virtual machines (VMs) from snapshots or backups, often within minutes, regardless of underlying hardware failures. This decoupling of the OS from physical hardware allows VMs to be migrated or recovered on different hosts, significantly improving recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) compared to physical server recovery.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Improved disaster recovery capabilities
Why this is correct
VMs can be backed up and migrated easily.
- ✗
Increased hardware reliability
Why it's wrong here
Reliability depends on hardware, not virtualization.
- ✓
Reduced hardware footprint
Why this is correct
Multiple VMs run on one physical server, reducing hardware needs.
- ✗
Enhanced physical security
Why it's wrong here
Physical security is not directly improved.
- ✗
Simplified network configuration
Why it's wrong here
Virtual networking adds complexity.
