You want to change the role of a server from a file server to a database server. The server hardware includes 2 GB RAM, 500 MHz CPU, 10/100 Ethernet NIC, and a Hardware RAID subsystem. Which of the following components may not be optimal if this server is used as a database server?
Explanation
Answer - D - To be able to convert this server to a database server, the processor must be upgraded.
Key Takeaway: The components on the server were optimal to function as a file server. But if it has to be converted to a database server, it must be able to process more instructions per second, so the processor should be upgraded to a faster one. Another alternative is to use multiple processors. The RAM, NIC, and RAID is optimal for it to function as a database server.
