In configuring virtual CPUs for a heavily used database server, what is the recommended allocation?

A. One virtual CPU for the database server and two for the print server
B. Two virtual CPUs for both servers
C. Two virtual CPUs for the database server and one for the print server
D. Three virtual CPUs for the print server and two for the database server

The correct answer is: C. Two virtual CPUs for the database server and one for the print server

Allocating two virtual CPUs for the database server and one for the print server is optimal for a heavily used database server setup. Database servers often handle complex queries and multiple connections, especially when they are under significant load. By providing two virtual CPUs specifically for the database server, you ensure that it has sufficient processing power to manage tasks efficiently, perform parallel processing, and respond quickly to user requests. The allocation of one virtual CPU for the print server is appropriate because print servers generally require less processing power compared to database servers. Printing tasks are typically less resource-intensive and can be managed effectively with a single CPU, allowing the database server to utilize its two CPUs effectively without contention for resources. This allocation strategy helps in maintaining performance and responsiveness, ensuring that the critical database operations are not hindered by insufficient CPU resources, while still providing functionality for the print server.
