Question 3.
1. A software system is designed to handle a maximum load of 500 requests per second using a
number of servers.To ensure optimal performance and reliability, a factor of safety of 2.0 is
required. If each server can handle 100 regquests per second, calculate the number
of servers
needed to handle the peak load while maintaining the factor
of safety.
