Question 30

+2 marksOne correct option

A college counseling system is designed to store and retrieve student records efficiently. The system uses different types of storage based on latency, throughput, and density. During peak counseling sessions, thousands of students access their academic records, appointment schedules, and previous counseling notes. The system needs to optimize storage selection for different types of data:
1. Frequently accessed small data (e.g., currently active student records)
2. Large archives of past counseling records (rarely accessed but need long-term storage) 3. Temporary session data that needs to be quickly read and updated during counseling sessions Based on the above data, answer the given subquestions.
