What is a Type 2 hypervisor?

Hypervisor software that must be installed as an application running on a host OS.

You need to provision a virtualization workstation to run four guest OSs simultaneously. Each VM requires 2 GB system RAM. Is an 8 GB workstation sufficient to meet this requirement?

No

The host OS and/or hypervisor also requires system memory. If the host also a 2 GB requirement, you would only be able to launch three of the VMs simultaneously.

What is the main security requirement of a virtualization workstation configured to operate VMs within a sandbox?

The VM environment should be isolated from the host and from other VM environments.

When users connect to the network, they use a basic hardware terminal to access a desktop hosted on a virtualization server. What type of infrastructure is being deployed?

Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
