Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be Option A (Nano Server).

Explanation:

• Nano Server is a ripped-down version of Windows XP, developed specifically by Microsoft to run cloud containers and applications. There seems to be no local logon or Wireless Computer available with Nano Server. The OS is managed remotely via WMI, instead.
• This is designed to operate systems and be operated completely electronically. Microsoft defines Nano Server as "a motive-built OS designed to run software and containers that are born in the cloud".

Therefore, according to the needs of the company, the Nano server is the right answer.
