A company needs to run an application that is essential for its operations, but the software is only compatible with an outdated operating system that is no longer supported. Which solution would allow IT staff to safely operate this legacy software without compromising modern infrastructure?
Install the outdated operating system on all current machines
Upgrade the legacy software to a current version
Set up a dual-boot system for both current and outdated operating systems
Use application virtualization to run the legacy software
Using application virtualization to run the legacy software offers an isolated environment that can emulate the outdated operating system, which ensures safe and stable operation without interfering with the modern infrastructure. Other options such as upgrading or dual-booting pose risks of instability or are incompatible with continuous modern environment requirements.
