Demo Question 2.

Executives at EliteCertify.com notice that many users of their Commerce Server site are not finishing the purchasing process. Users report that the site is too slow. EliteCertify.com hires you to scale out their site. The Internet service provider (ISP) for EliteCertify.com verifies that there is available network bandwidth. During peak usage, network usage is approximately 50 percent of the available bandwidth. The Internet Information Services (IIS) log shows that at peak times there are 10,000 simultaneous requests to the Web server. The Web server's performance log shows 80 to 100 percent CPU usage and 60 to 70 percent of memory utilized during peak usage. The database server's performance log for peak times shows 50 to 60 percent CPU usage and 80 to 85 percent memory usage. EliteCertify.com has an additional server that can be used in their production environment as a Web server, as a database server, or as both. The current domain name of the site is www.southridgevideo.com. How should you configure the site?

A. Add the new server as a database server. Use this server to host the Transactions database. Modify the Transactions site resource to connect to the new Transactions database.
B. Add the new server as a Web server. Configure both Web servers to run Network Load Balancing. Set up a load-balancing rule to send requests on port 443 to the Web server that has the existing SSL certificate.
C. Add the new server as both a Web server and a database server. Use this server to host the Transactions database and the checkout pages. Create a new domain named checkout.southridgevideo.com on the new server. Host the checkout pages on the new domain.
D. Add the new server as both a Web server and a database server. Use this server to host the Transactions database and the checkout pages. Configure both Web servers to run Network Load Balancing. Create a new domain named checkout.southridgevideo.com on the new server. Host the checkout pages on the new domain. Set up a load-balancing rule to send requests for the new domain to only the new server.
