Which of the following is the best method to reduce security issues from co- mingling?

Allen is a network administrator for a hosting company. Multiple different companies store data on the same server. Which of the following is the best method to reduce security issues from co- mingling?

A.
Install each data set on a separate drive

B.
Install each data set on a separate partition

C.
Install each data set on the same drive, but use EFS to encrypt each data set separately.

D.
Install each data set on a separate VM

Explanation:
Visualization completely separates the data and prevents commingling. Visualization is a technology that enables customers to run multiple operating systems concurrently on a single physical server, where each of the operating systems runs as a self-contained computer, visualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as an operating system, a server, a storage device, or network resources. It is a computing technology that enables a single user to access multiple physical devices. The goal of visualization is usually a more effective use of resources. It simplifies provisioning, while adding flexibility at the same time.

Answer options B and A are incorrect. An operating system can view partitions and drives just as if they were different folders/directories on the same drive.

Answer option C is incorrect. Encrypting the data sets with EFS will inhibit users’ access for the data.
