A technician is evaluating hypervisors for a small virtualization host. To maximize performance, they want a solution that installs directly on the physical server without relying on an underlying host operating system. Which of the following hypervisors meets this requirement?
Microsoft Hyper-V operates as a Type 1 (bare-metal) hypervisor, giving it direct access to hardware resources. Oracle VirtualBox, VMware Workstation, and Parallels Desktop are Type 2 (hosted) hypervisors that run as applications on top of an existing operating system, so they do not satisfy the requirement.
