A research organization runs a simulation that is memory-intensive and cannot be easily parallelized across multiple nodes. The simulation runs for hours, and the team needs to reduce runtime. The budget allows for upgrading the existing server. Which scaling approach is MOST appropriate?

Scaling by moving to a containerized environment

Horizontal scaling by adding more servers

Scaling by increasing storage performance

Vertical scaling by adding more memory and CPU to the existing server

A company runs a nightly backup of its virtual machines. The backup process writes large sequential streams to a deduplication appliance. The backup window is fixed, and the team needs to ensure the backup completes on time. Which workload characteristic is MOST important for sizing the backup target?

Low latency for synchronous replication

High throughput for large sequential writes

High IOPS for small random writes

High capacity for random access patterns
