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 configuration utilizes the LEAST resources?

A.
Both servers will be virtualized on the same host server. The web server will be configured with
an Internet facing NIC connected to the host�s hardware NIC and a backend NIC connected to a
virtual switch. The database server NIC will be connected to the same virtual switch.

B.
The database server will be created on the existing virtual farm and configured with one
physical NIC. The web server will be installed on new hardware and will utilize two physical NICs
to separate backend traffic from frontend Internet communication.

C.
The web server will be created on the existing virtual farm and configured with two physical
NICs, one NIC for backend and one for backend communication. The database server will be
installed on new hardware to ensure maximum performance.

D.
Both servers will be virtualized on a pair of redundant host servers. Both the web server and the
database server will share the same hardware resources. The web server will be configured with
one NIC for both frontend and backend communication and the databases server will also have
one NIC.
