A company wants to use older business software which is incompatible with the current operating system on their employee's computers. They require a cost-effective virtualization solution to resolve this issue. Which of the following is the BEST approach to provide access to this legacy software?
Using a virtual machine to emulate a different computer architecture for the legacy software
Running the older operating system in an emulator without utilizing a virtualized environment
Using a Virtualization platform to create a sandbox environment for the legacy software
Dedicating physical hardware to install the legacy software natively
Upgrading the legacy software to make it compatible with the current operating systems
The correct answer is Using a Virtualization platform to create a sandbox environment for the legacy software because it allows employees to run older software that might not be compatible with newer operating systems without affecting the primary system. Dedicating physical hardware is not cost-effective and does not utilize virtualization technology. Upgrading the software might not be feasible or could be too expensive, and emulating the older OS without a virtual environment does not address compatibility or potential security issues. Using a VM to emulate a different architecture is not relevant to compatibility issues with software and OS versions.
