A financial services firm notices frequent lags while its main database processes multiple simultaneous reads and writes. After investigating, the team concludes that the bottleneck stems from low disk throughput. Which action best addresses the requirement for higher operations per second?
Adopt a high-speed solid-state system
Route database transactions to a separate zone to split the workload
Switch to an ephemeral volume for temporary business records
Upgrading to a high-speed solid-state system addresses mechanical bottlenecks and boosts operations per second. Sending transactions to a different zone might not increase throughput. Using a file service for block-based data can introduce additional overhead. Ephemeral volumes are not intended for persistent workloads and typically do not improve sustained performance.
