You manage a datacenter where each server has a 10 Gigabit per second network connection and the facility’s backbone link is also 10 Gbps. Your application is handling 10,000 requests per second, each with a 50 KB response, which translates to about 4 Gbps of required throughput. So, if each request involves minimal CPU processing, and the existing server has sufficient resources to handle the load. Which of the following scaling strategies is most appropriate to meet this demand?
- AScale up on a single server
- BScale out to multiple servers in the datacenter
- CBoth will produce similar results
- DNone of these

A Server S needs to retrieve data from two datacenters D1 and D2 located at 1500 kilometres and 3000 kilometres respectively. Server S and D1 are connected via medium M1 through which information can be transferred with the speed of 1.5×10^8 m/sec, and server S and D2 are connected via medium M2. If the server received data from both the data centres at the same time, what must be the speed of information transfer in medium M2(overheads should be ignored)?
